Heather Christie Named Coach of the Year at ActionCOACH’s Americas Conference

Fort Myers, FL, January 23, 2011 --(PR.com)-- ActionCOACH, the world’s number one business coaching firm, named Heather Christie the North American Coach of the Year at its Americas Conference Awards ceremony, which took place at the Aliante Station Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

ActionCOACH Founder and Chairman Brad Sugars presented the award to Christie.

“The way Heather and her team have been able to help the businesses in her community reach their potential in a market that was greatly affected by economic conditions truly shows the power of not only our systems, but her ability as a coach,” Sugars said. “She didn’t let outside circumstances determine the level of her success.”

Christie won this prestigious award for her work with clients in Fort Myers, Florida, where her practice is located.

While few parts of the United States went unaffected by the downturn, the Fort Myers area was particularly hard-hit, with foreclosure rates at more than 12% (the highest in the nation), and an unemployment rate that has peaked above 13% for the past two years.

It was in this environment that Christie and her team forged results that helped her clients and her coaching practice achieve outstanding results over the past year.

“This was a great year, but I feel like we are just hitting our stride. I know 2011 promises to be another outstanding year, not only for us in Florida, but for the entire ActionCOACH community,” Christie said.

ActionCOACH is the world’s number one business coaching and executive coaching firm, with more than 1,000 offices in 32 countries. To learn more about ActionCOACH go to actioncoach.com.
