San Jose, CA (PRWEB) March 02, 2014
Over 50% of organizations are now measuring the impact of executive coaching up from 7% in 2005, according to an industry-wide research study.
The compelling 2012 study covers such trends as why organizations use coaching, how the coaching engagement process is carried out, how coaching impact is measured, how executive coaches are selected, expected trends moving forward and much more. The study extends findings from High Impact Executive Coaching, a study completed by CoachSource and Executive Development Associates in 2005. This current iteration represents an industry-first, "four dimensional perspective," surveying over 600 respondents across the perspectives of leaders, organizations, internal coaches and external coaches.
"This year's study reveals a lot about a growing and maturing industry," says Dr. Erica Desrosiers, Senior Director, Global Talent Development for Walmart and one of the study's co-authors. "Of particular value is also the ability to look at the industry from multiple perspectives especially when those perspectives don't quite align. Identifying where, for example, leaders and organizations differ in how they view and approach certain aspects of coaching can help inform organizational coaching practice leaders as to how they can leverage coaching more effectively," Erica adds.
"There is a definite increase of organizations measuring business impact in some way," according to Dr. Brian O. Underhill, Founder & CEO of CoachSource. "This is great news for an industry that has often been seen as playing a very intangible role in growing and sustaining great leaders," he adds.
Among other key findings:
"In this study, we were really interested in gathering a 'four dimensional' look at the industry," says Underhill. "We thought it was important to gather perceptions across perspectives and to allow readers to see the differences in those perspectives…because there sure are differences across some areas," he adds.
"Yet while best practices and industry perceptions are more defined and consistent than they were in 2005, I believe the industry has not yet reached maturity but will continue to change with the demands of the fast-moving, 21st century organization," says Desrosiers.

Amicus was the United Kingdom's second-largest trade union, and the largest private sector union, formed by the merger of Manufacturing Science and Finance, the AEEU (Amalgamated Engineering and Electrical Union) agreed in 2001, and two smaller unions, UNIFI and the GPMU. Amicus also organises in both parts of Ireland and is affiliated to the UK Trades Union Congress, the Irish Congress of Trade Unions and the Scottish Trades Union Congress.
On 1 May 2007 it merged with the TGWU to form Unite, which is the biggest trade union in the UK.
During 2005 discussions started between the TGWU, Amicus and the GMB about the possibility of merging the three unions into one organisation with potentially 2.5 million members covering almost every segment of the economy. On 14 June 2006 the GMB Conference voted not to continue with discussions although the other two unions pursued merger talks. A recall conference of the TGWU held on 18 December 2006 supported the merger (Amicus did not hold a recall conference), and a ballot of both unions' membership during February and early March 2007, also approved the merger. The result of the ballot was announced on 8 March 2007: 70.1% of Amicus members and 86.4% of T&G members voted to support the merger, from a turnout of 27%. The press release announced that the resulting union had the working title "New Union" and the name would be decided by a ballot of the membership. However, on 2 April, The Times reported that the name Unite had been chosen.
In early April 2007, the BBC announced that Amicus was to begin discussions with North American union, United Steelworkers, about a possible merger. If successful, it would create an international "super union" with more than 3 million members, more able to pressure multinational companies and their managers. This project eventually became Workers Uniting, a proposed union resulting from the merger of the United Steelworkers and Amicus' successor Unite.
Amicus has a corporate office at 35 King Street in London's Covent Garden, and its main administrative centre, Hayes Court, is at Bromley in south-east London. The union runs two of its own colleges, Esher Place at Esher in Surrey and Quorn Grange at Loughborough in Leicestershire, and is a major user of Wortley Hall near Sheffield. A further facility, Whitehall College in Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire is currently inactive, following a survey which revealed the presence of large amounts of asbestos which will be expensive to remove.
The union operates many other offices across the British Isles to support activity in each of the union's 12 regions. The four unions forming Amicus each had a fully-developed network of offices to support their own operations; there is an ongoing exercise to co-locate staff from geographically-adjacent offices in order to reduce the property portfolio.
An Amicus region typically contains several hundred branches, each of which represent a smaller group of members, running local campaigns on their behalf and providing a means for members to socialise with one another and increase their involvement in Amicus and the wider union movement. Nationally, there are about 1900 branches. Branches are typically organised on a workplace, geographical or sectoral basis, and vary in size from a few dozen to several thousand members. One reason for the wide variation in branch size and type is that, during the numerous union mergers which culminated in the formation of Amicus, branches were often not forced to merge. For this reason many branches are still based on the structures that existed in long-disappeared unions such as TASS. Some branches are inactive, for example because the workplace they represented no longer exists. In 2005, Amicus began a consultation on reorganisation of branches, primarily intended to close inactive branches or merge them with neighbouring ones which are more active. Not surprisingly this reorganisation was of some concern to branch activists, and prompted a number of neighbouring branches to voluntarily merge in order to pre-empt any action from the centre. Other branches, for example those in the voluntary sector, are by their nature small, and have made representations to the NEC and the General Secretary in which they pointed out that a small branch is not necessarily an inactive one. As of October 2006 the results of the branch consultation have not been published.
In general, committees of the union from branch level upwards must be composed of lay members elected by the group of members they represent, as per MSF custom and practice. A notable exception is for the secretary of a regional or national committee, who is usually a Full-Time Officer employed by the union. However, within the AEEU, branches were often chaired by Officers.
A rule change in 2005 provided for the establishment of Area Activist Quarterlies (also known as Area Committees) consisting of workplace representatives and branch officers from a given geographical area, to be smaller than the existing Regions. These resemble the AEEU's District Committees. The first Quarterlies took place in April 2006, and will be convened four times per year. The primary purpose of the Quarterlies is to allow local activists to share information on local issues such as redundancies and industrial disputes, and co-ordinate local campaigns.
Amicus conferences are organised on a two-yearly cycle with national Policy Conferences taking place in odd-numbered years, and sectoral, national equality and regional branch conferences being held in the intervening years. This differs with MSF and AEEU arrangements where national conferences took place on an annual basis. Similarly, Regional Councils meet every two months as opposed to monthly under MSF.
Due to the two-yearly cycle, Amicus does not have a President, because legislation requires the position to be elected annually - either by delegates to annual conference, or the entire membership. In view of the cost of a national postal ballot, the Chair of the NEC was given the role of chairing the 2005 Policy and Rules Conferences.
The first and only Rules Conference of Amicus took place in 2005. The next Rules Conference was planned to take place in 2009, but following the merger with the T+G it is now likely to take place in 2010, as part of the wider Unite union.
Amicus wrote and created the role of the Trade Union Disability Champion@Work. Funded initially by a European grant under the Year of Disabled People 2003 there are now over a thousand Champions from nearly 40 trade unions operating in workplaces across the UK and Ireland. for more information visit www.disabilitychampions.com.

Dallas never trails after scoring first six points of second half to break tie
PHOENIX, Ariz. -- The University of Dallas broke a halftime tie by scoring the first six points of the second half to turn back the Eastern Connecticut State University women's basketball team, 60-53, in the consolation game of the Grand Canyon Classic Thursday morning at Southwestern College.
At left: Amanda Pierlioni (44)
Simpson College (9-3) won the championship game, 93-67, Thursday over Ohio Northern University (10-2). In Wednesday's first round, Simpson had defeated Dallas, 80-46, and Ohio Northern had beaten Eastern, 55-37.
A loser of three of four since winning its first seven games, Eastern (8-3) never led in the second half. Trailing by four, 57-53, with 64 seconds left, Eastern stole the ball but missed a three-point field goal. The Lady Crusaders (5-6) then sandwiched three free throws around Eastern's 23rd and final turnover for the final seven-point margin.
Eastern's best opportunity to move ahead came with just under four minutes left when senior guard Jessica Moriarty's (East Haven) three-point made it 53-51. Dallas followed by missing a shot and two free throws, but an Eastern turnover set up a pair of Dallas free throws that made it 55-51 with three minutes left.
In the second half, Eastern turned the ball twice as often as Dallas, totaling 15.
Scoreless in Wednesday's loss to Ohio Northern, Moriarty led Eastern with 19 points - equaling her season high and falling one point shy of her career best. Senior guard Amanda Pierlioni (Plainville) recorded her first double-double of the season for Eastern with 11 points and a career-high 13 rebounds and also had four assists. Sophomore guard Jessica Blodgett (Niantic) also had 11 points. Behind Pierlioni, Moriarty, junior post Piper Chapman (Portsmouth, RI) and sophomore forward Tanisha Carter (East Hartford) all had eight rebounds to lift Eastern to a 12-rebound margin over the Lady Crusaders.
Blodgett outscored the bench of Dallas, which got all but three of its points from its starters. Sophomore guard Kylie Yoshimura was among four double-digit scorers for the winners. Yoshimura scored 12 of her points in the second half, and keyed the team's performance in the final minutes by converting all six of her free throws. Senior forward Cara Sczepanski, the team's scoring leader, had 14 points and ten rebounds, junior forward Kelly Regan 13 points and seven rebounds and senior center Joirdan Cole ten points and eight rebounds.
The Lady Crusaders enjoyed a +9 advantage in free throws. Dallas was 16-of-25 from the stripe, Eastern just 7-of-9. After missing 22 of 24 three-pointers in Wednesday's loss, the Warriors were 6-of-14 against Dallas, with Moriarty sinking three.
Eastern returns to Little East Conference action Saturday at Massachusetts Boston at 1 p.m.

Scott Brundage did a little drawing of a rampaging ape and was nice enough to give it to me. Well, I was feeling silly one night and decided to color it in, and so here's what turned out:
I meant to give this to you at Illuxcon, Scott, but you didn't show up so I've just been hanging on to it. Next time :)

MANILA---The appointment of German coach Hans Michael Weiss as coach of the national team has the full backing of the Philippine Football Federation.
A coach needs an equivalent of a "B" license to be eligible to handle a national side in an AFC tournament. McMenemy doesn't have the equivalent of a "B" coaching license from UEFA, the European football governing body.
Azkals manager Dan Palami announced the hiring of Weiss Saturday night, after a three-day visit to Frankfurt where he was able to secure an assistance package from the German Football Association (DFB).
"We wanted to maximize the support from the DFB," said Palami, who has apologized to McMenemy for announcing the decision without informing him earlier.
"Any aid for Philippine football is welcome," Araneta said.
Araneta also expressed confidence that Weiss, a native of Dennenfels, Germany, who also had stints with the Chinese Football Association and internships at Real Madrid in Spain, Arsenal in England and River Plate and FC Kaiserslautern in Germany, can take the team to greater heights.
"We leave it up to the new coach of our team," Araneta said. "I think that the new coach has good credentials. I think he can do a much better job."

So Chris Brown Has A Medicinal Marijuana Prescription…
I didn't know Chris Brown is suffering from some chronic disease mentally or physically, that warrants a medicinal marijuana prescription. You learn something new about celebs everyday.
That explains this Rihanna cover art for Diamonds, and this tweet. Boy, these two are always connected around a theme. Or is that just the media?
Anyway, turns out that Chris Brown failed a drug test back in June in Virginia. Nearing the end of his probation, this could have been a huge set-back except that:
PHOTOS: Nicki Minaj 'Pink Friday' Perfume Launch At Macy's In New York
Nicki Minaj is in New York launching her new fragrance Pink Friday at Macy's in Herald Square. You remember those perfumes you use to roll on as a kid that came in those fake make-up kits. I imagine that's what Pink Friday smells like. Hopefully it's more mature than that, but the Barbie poster, the sailor-ish outfit with the lollipop-tube top, reminds me of bubble-gum and Now-&-Laters.
Sugar and spice and everything nice…
Are you ready to smell Pink Friday?
Clealry Greenbay Packers Had The Ball…
My timeline was filled with hate messages for the replacement refs after last night's game, Greenbay Packers V Seattle Seahawks. Honestly, I missed the whole play. So I had to go and find a video to find out what was going on. Since I am not emotionally invested in either one of these teams (cause the Cowboys beat the Buccaneers) I have to say that Greenbay was robbed. If I were Seattle, I wouldn't want to be associated with a win like that. The NFL, needs to bring back the real refs because the integrity of the game is on the line. Check out the video of the controversial call from two angles:
I admit in that view it's hard to tell, but remember the play was under review by the replacement refs, check out that same play from a different angle…

Tommy Moore's treading water
By Valentino Lucio : November 20, 2013 : Updated: November 20, 2013 8:58pm
Photo By San Antonio Express-News file photoTommy Moore said that before next month's auction, he plans to seek Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, which would allow him to stay open.

With its owner mired in debt and — as of Wednesday — no longer seeking bankruptcy protection, Tommy Moore's Café & Deli has become more vulnerable than ever.
But Tommy Moore, owner of the popular East Side eatery, is hopeful. The restaurant remains open, and the entrepreneur says he's in talks with an investment group that's interested in saving the business and growing the brand.
"We have a group of investors who are going to be doing something within the next 30 days," Moore said. "We're going to stay open and do some other things, too."
If an agreement is reached, Moore added, he also would be able to pay off his debts. A bankruptcy court filing showed Moore has about $272,000 in assets and nearly $870,000 in liabilities.
He wouldn't elaborate on his plans or identify the potential investors, though he did say they're working on a concept that could involve a stand-alone restaurant and food truck. In all, Moore said there are about eight plans being looked at.
Although he didn't say whether a relocation of the business could be in the works, he laughed when asked if the restaurant would remain at its current location, at 915 S. Hackberry St.
"That's just a physical address. It's a building or whatever," he said. "Me, my clientele, my employees and recipes — that's the business. And that's what really needs to be understood."
Since opening in 2006, Moore said it's been a struggle operating the restaurant in what he called the most economically depressed area in the city. Most customers who visit the restaurant go during lunch and come from downtown, Moore said. He estimates just 10 percent of his clientele are from the neighborhood.
"You generally will see a variety of different people — people who you know, different people from the community, people from outside the community," said Jackie Gorman, executive director of San Antonio for Growth on the Eastside, an economic development organization. "If in fact the restaurant does close down, it will be sorely missed. I applaud (Moore's) efforts, and I really, really hope it works out for him."
Moore filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in June after Frost Bank moved to foreclose on the property where the restaurant's located.
On Wednesday, Johnny Thomas, who represented Moore in his Chapter 11 bankruptcy case, told a bankruptcy court that the restaurant's owner agreed to dismiss his case — which the U.S. trustee had sought.
Without bankruptcy protection, Frost Bank could move to foreclose on the property as soon as January. But Moore said the bank has agreed to not foreclose right away.
An attorney for Frost Bank didn't respond to a request for comment.
Virginia Moore, Tommy Moore's wife, also was named in the case.
This was the couple's second attempt at bankruptcy protection.
Frost Bank first moved to foreclose on the property in April 2012. Moore filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection to stop the foreclosure. At the time, he listed about $272,000 in assets and nearly $853,000 in liabilities.
In October 2012, a reorganization plan outlining how he would repay creditors was confirmed.
Three months later, the trustee sought to dismiss the Chapter 13 plan, noting Moore failed to pay $20,000 as required by the reorganization agreement.
Moore then tried to convert the case to Chapter 11, but a bankruptcy judge denied the motion and dismissed the case.
Moore also ran a now-defunct printing company that published a community newspaper called the San Antonio Informer. The property where he operated the company for two decades was lost to foreclosure in February 2012.

Last week, there was a lot of chatter in Phillies land about why their team hasn't been honored with a Wheaties box like past World Series winners.
There's an obvious explanation here. There has after all been other sports cereal news.
Remember 2008 Sportsman Of The Year* Michael Phelps. Kellogs dropped him as a sponsor. Why'd they do that? BECAUSE HE GOT CAUGHT USING DRUGS.
Sounds kinda familiar. Wasn't Phillies reliever J.C. Romero CAUGHT USING DRUGS? And somehow still allowed to play in the postseason (7.2 scoreless innings, 2-0 in the WS) because of some bullshit appeals shenanigans?
Guess that clears it up: the Phillies aren't going to be honored on the boxes of the Breakfast of Champions BECAUSE THEY AREN'T FUCKING CHAMPIONS. Cheaters don't sell cereal.
I'm surprised no one else figured that out.
MLB might not have any standards, but THANK CHRIST General Mills does.
Also thanks to Home Run Derby for the image (well, I added the asterisk, not sure how they left that out).
Chalk, the cheaters got fitted for their rings yesterday.
But I did hear that the American League Champs trophy will be displayed all season long at the Trop. That's something to look forward to!
Wow, your just…Dumb? Try looking into the entire story of it and if you and the 10 other Ray's fans still have a problem with it you can send all protests to the league.
Wheaties taste like cardboard anyway… The World Champion Phillies only endorse products fit for human consumption like Tastecakes and Turkey Hill Ice Cream.
Isn't this coming from the same writer that desperately pleaded for the Rays to get the G-POPE?
/drugs are delicious
I suppose that's better than using steroids and finishing last every year. Right Wilson Alvarez, Dave Martinez and Tony Saunders?
oops, I forgot Alex Sanchez and Juan Salas. Sorry.
Chad > Chalk.
5 cheaters is more than 1 by my count.
Yeah Chalk, it was Romero's 4 2/3 innings of work in the entire WS that prevented the Rays from winning.
He pitched in the last three games and was the winning pitcher in two of them. All those games should be forfeited.
Wow, really? Your points are becoming less valid with each response you write.
You can argue until you're blue in the face, Chalk, but the Phillies were the better team in that series, "no questions asked". The Rays were good in 2008, but not "World Fucking Champions" good.
Get a clue what you're talking about. Phils handed the Rays their ass in the Series. The Rays were, and still are, no where near as good as the Phillies. Maybe you shouldn't try and blame JC but those two choke-artists you have batting 3rd and 4th (Mrs Longoria and Pena) GET A FUCKING CLUE. Hope you enjoyed your one year of fun, enjoy 3rd place.
pat burrell. do it.

Diacarta Planner
By Squnch
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
Unlike any other planner, Diacarta lets you create a mental picture of your day. And now it syncs! It's easy. Start with the clock, then choose icons to represent the things on your list. For scheduled events, simply drag the icon to the appropriate place on the clock. Tasks that are not tied to a specific time stay on the screen as a reminder. By tapping on the icon, you can add as much detail as you need for future reference. Star your event when it's complete.
How To Use Diacarta - (see a graphical tutorial at www.dia-carta.com)
Diacarta makes planning your day fun. To start, just tap the plus button (+) to go to a library of over fifty icons. Choose the icon that best represents your task. (If no icon seems to fit, choose the blank bubble and type in your task. ) Your chosen icon will then appear next to the clock. Drag the icon to the appropriate place on the clock to schedule or reschedule an event (such as a client conference). Or just leave the icon where it is to create a visual reminder for an unscheduled task (such as calling your friend on her birthday). Slide your finger left and right on the screen to navigate between a.m. and p.m., or between consecutive days. To change the scheduled date, time or duration of an event, tap on the icon to go the details screen. For each icon you choose, you can associate as much or as little information as you need. The details are saved for future reference. To quickly scroll between months and schedule future events, tap on the calendar icon. When you've completed a task, tap the star button then tap the corresponding icon to replace it with a star.
What's New in Version 2.60
* Now share your day and/or events in iOS5 with Diacarta's native twitter integration!
* tweet with ease!
* Also, check out our latest app for
Pitchfork and their 2012 Music Festival! Now available in the app store.

Customer Reviews
still the best (now with much easier native twitter)
i thought this would be more "kitschy" based on some of the other reviews, but it is a complete and fully functional planner. with iOS5, it is almost like iCal is the desktop version of this, as you can enter events when not on the go, and they instantly appear on Diacarta. really enjoying it, and can see myself planning this way for a long time. twitter integration rocks.
Sweet sharing update
Twitter and Facebook included is awesome. Heading to Florida here in a few weeks for vacation, and can't wait to share with family and friends what I've got planned using this. Just need a beach icon and I'm good to go! :-)
But a great app, definitely worth if. Use it all the time.
fantastic calendar for creative types
This is the first calendar I have ever seen that lets you share things directly from your calendar. Works so fast on my 4S too. super solid. Looking forward to an iPad version (developers???)

Predicting Art Market Profit Potential Pt. 1 – artmarketblog.com
Predicting Art Market Profit Potential Pt. 1 – artmarketblog.com
Using auction prices to identify trends and determine whether the price being paid for a particular artist's work is on the rise is all well and good, but by the time the price of an artist's work begins to rise in a rapid manner, the best opportunity to profit from the price increase is likely to have already passed. Auction price databases such as artprice.com and artnet.com are extremely useful but they are really only useful for artists who already have an extensive auction sale record. What if there were a system that was able to identify those artists who are most likely to achieve market success before they actually do?. Well, you may be pleased to hear that there is. By looking at what is essentially one of the most influential factors that determines the success of an artist's career, namely how many exhibitions an artist's work is included in and how important those exhibitions are, ArtFacts.net is able to rank artists according to their fame and popularity in the cultural sphere as well as in the commercial gallery sphere. That ranking, according to ArtFacts.net, is generated according to the theory that the greater number of shows the artist has, the greater will be the fame of a particular artist. And, as we all know, familiarity generates demand, and increased demand equals increased value (usually). I don't think that anyone can dispute the fact that museum and gallery shows make artists more saleable and raise the price of their work.
The way that the ArtFacts.net Artist Ranking Tool works is by assigning different points values to particular types of exhibitions and the different institutions and galleries that hold these exhibitions. The number of points assigned to an artist depends on the importance of that institution/gallery exhibiting their work and the amount of exposure that the exhibition gives the artist in question. According to the ArtFacts.net website "Solo shows are worth more than group shows or art fairs. Documenta, in Kassel, Germany, is worth more than the Venice Biennale. Public museums count more than galleries. And different museums have different weights. Those in cities like Paris or New York count for more. Small museums and university museums count for almost nothing". There does of course have to be some sort of criteria to determine whether an artist is worthy of being included in the system which is where the eligibliity criteria come into play. For an artist to be ranked they must have a sufficiently international presence which in the case of ArtFacts.net means those artists that have long term ties with at least three countries. According to ArtFacts.net "A.R places great importance on the international representation of artists. Only artists operating in international structures will be chosen as a primary value source. The reason why A.R does this is because it recognises the worth of mutual knowledge. Only artists who are common to diverse societies, countries and/or cultures will be really important and therefore create a kind of brand or universal value (like a standard). So the A.R uses internationality as a standard for the basic calculations."

I do not see a great difference between ArtFacts.net and artnet.
A successfull artist with lots of exhibitions and fame, will certainly have an extensive auction sale record, whereas an unknown artist will not.
Maybe ArtFacts.net can be a useful auxiliary tool, but I doubt that it can predict the potential market success of an artist.
Fame and market success are usually interrelated like the two sides of a coin, though I am not sure yet which comes first (especially in the recent years).
It would be highly interesting if there were a website that could predict the potentiality of unknown artists. Of course that is impossible.
You're right to a large extent, but I think you're misunderstanding a bit what ArtFacts.net is trying to measure. Fame and market success generally are two sides of the same coin, but ArtFacts attempts to measure buzz, which is not the same as fame. Buzz, if handled properly by the marketing and PR folks (and the artist through continued quality and productivity), can lead to fame and thus to market success, but it's a precursor. Not all buzz has led to fame, of course, but plenty of it has.
For a good overview of how buzz leads to fame and high prices, I'd really recommend reading Don Thompson's The $12 Million Stuffed Shark. For a good overview of how investors can harness such buzz and maximize returns, I'd recommend reading Skate's Art Investment Handbook (I'll admit my bias outright by stating that I work for Skate's).

Another Maryland State Fair is now in the history book. Many thanks
to everyone who supported the Maryland Park Service's exhibit at
this year's state fair. The uniformed park staff and our many
dedicated volunteers gave us a very visible and professional
presence. We were represented by 13 state parks (9 Park Quest parks,
5 Scales & Tales parks and one state park which is neither). There
were volunteers from 4 Friends groups, 2 Volunteer Mounted Patrols,
4 Park Quest Finale teams, and 6 state parks. We were visited by the
Governor, the Lieutenant Governor and the Baltimore County
Executive. We received over 150 requests for Park Quest 2010
information from people who visited our exhibit.
A VERY BIG special thank you to the volunteers (including 6 members of the Patapsco Valley State Park Volunteer Mounted Patrol) who staffed the exhibit on Friday, September 4th when Maryland Park Service personnel were not able to participate due to the mandated service reduction day that is part of the recent state budget cuts. Had it not been for your efforts, there would have been no Maryland Park Service presence at the state fair that day.
Thanks again to all our volunteers for their help and I hope that everyone enjoyed the state fair.
