Weymouth, Dorset -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/15/2009 -- Noble Manhattan, the recognized leader in life and Executive coach training in the United Kingdom and Europe has launched a new initiative to help qualified coaches to improve their business. Gerard O’Donovan the C.E.O. and founder of Noble Manhattan while announcing this new initiative said that not all good coaches can become successful in developing their coaching business. The initiative taken by Noble Manhattan is a step towards helping trained life and Executive coaches to develop their coaching business. A key part of this successful programme is a new website, http://www.getcoachingleads.com which will enable people interested in being coached or improving their lives in any way to access 4 incredible reports which help them to understand the power of Coaching. The reports have a combined value of over $1000. While downloading the reports they only need to share their contact details and answer few simple questions which will help the Noble Manhattan staff to understand their coaching requirements. This information is shared with the trained coaches who can align themselves to one or more interested people and further discuss coaching requirements. http://www.getcoachingleads.com has been designed to generate genuine enquiries for trained life coaches. A successful pilot run for the last 1 year has generated over 3700 enquiries from all over the world.

Mr. O’Donovan has also personally trained a team of 12 selected coaches over the past 2 months to help them understand the techniques used to generate these qualified leads.

They have now gone on to achieve a very high level of success using these unique cutting edge techniques. The lead generation strategy adopted by Noble Manhattan through the new website is not a generic exercise targeting a mass audience. The campaign has been specifically targeted towards people who are genuinely interested in personal life improvement. They can be people from any profession or industry. What is common among the group is the desire to improve their lives by taking help from professional experienced life coaches who are trained in NLP and many other coaching techniques.

The new initiative was a much publicized affair during which Mr. O’Donovan reiterated his commitment to help trained coaches develop a successful and profitable coaching business. It is a dual strategy to inform people about the benefits of life coaching and also getting them connected to life coaches. He said that the downloadable life coaching reports are on subjects like “How Coaching Improves Lives”, “How executives use coaching to improve performance”, “The Positive impact of coaching in the corporate world” and “How coaching can be a force for good”. These comprehensive reports have been developed by experts who have spent many years in the coaching business. Anyone who downloads and reads these reports will understand the true benefits of life coaching. They can further have a coffee over telephone with a trained life coach or a free 30 minute Coaching session without any obligation to take it further.

This approach to generating leads will focus on a limited group of people. It will help coaches to quickly connect with the group and get their coaching business started very quickly. Mr. O’Donovan said that this program is a win-win proposition for coaches as well as people who are interested in self improvement and building a better life but were not getting the support to start. He expressed hope that tangible benefits of this initiative will be visible within a short time with many life coaches setting up their own successful life coaching practice.

About Gerard O’Donovan
After 9 years in the Royal Marines, Gerard started his business career in financial services. He founded and developed his own company which became the largest privately owned life assurance organisation in the UK.

He found himself working around the clock and ultimately realised that things had to change. After searching through many self improvement disciplines, Gerard found that life coaching worked for him. It was the “hub that held the rest of the disciplines together”.

In 1992 Gerard, from Bantry, County Cork, who has a Masters degree in Psychology, went on to found Noble Manhattan which to date has trained over 5,700 coaches. He has become an acclaimed international, public speaker, trainer and personal developer.

The Princes Youth Business Trust recognised his skills and appointed him to work with young people in starting their own businesses.

He has trained thousands of coaches and has a list of global clients, including directors and presidents of large corporations, benefiting from his corporate coaching.

As the owner and CEO of Noble Manhattan, his motto is: “Fortune favours the prepared mind.”
