More Information At our annual conference last year two people won complimentary coaching sessions with our Mentor Coaches. Here is what one of them had to say: "Dear Grace, Sylvia and David, I want to express my sincere gratitude for the immeasurable growth I achieved as a result of participating in your PCAM Mentor Program. You guys were professional in your approach and thorough in your delivery. The value of the program is : the convenience, cost, professional growth and development, as well as the insights and skills acquired are immediately applicable to ones coaching practice. The uniqueness of the program is to have three highly certified coaches with diverse backgrounds and approaches guiding/instructing/critiquing simultaneously providing immediate feedback.What catpulted my professional growth the most was the three, one hour, one on one coaching session each of you provided. There is no textbook or school that can compete with the authenticity of that experience. On behalf of all my future clients... Thank you, " - Helena L.
