"There are thousands of coaching blogs out there. Many are extremely well written and highly useful.

It’s good for coaches, their clients and people who aren’t even ready to hire coaches.” Julia Stewart, President, School of Coaching Mastery.

WILLIAMSBURG, VA June 8, 2009---

Today, School of Coaching Mastery www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com, a life and business coach training company, is excited to announce that it's running an online contest to help determine the “best” blogs written by life and business coaches about coaching topics. The contest is designed to help highlight the many great coaching blogs and the usefulness of the articles that coaches and coaching organizations are writing about. Anyone can vote and comment on the blogs. Out of the original forty-five blogs that were entered, twenty-six have survived the qualifying round and will go on to compete for first, second, third place, Top Ten and Honorable Mentions. Patricia Weber’s blog for introverts has made the first round and is a must read, and vote for.

You’ve met them at networking events: people who hang around the edges. Usually they’re the introverts or shy business people. With explosive growth of social networking in 2008 the introvert's image is being elevated with blogs like Webers. Her blog contains content, information first, a marketing message second, and that’s how this sales veteran positions her blog. In the heart of her helpful tips, ideas and stories, she is helping build a positive image for introverts in business and life.

“The qualifying round has already been exciting, with unknown blogs coming out of nowhere to rank competitively against blogs from major coaching organizations. I can’t wait to see how it all turns out!” Julia Stewart, President, School of Coaching Mastery.

The Contest ends June 30th. Winners will be announced on July 1st. For more information about this program, visit http://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/best-coaching-blogs-2009/
