Editor’s Note: Wave goodbye to the Chronicle of Coaching. The weekly compilation of global media-talk about coaching is getting a makeover. Three years ago, when the Chronicle first went live, there were only 10-15 coaching articles to be found each week. It was like detective work to find them. Now the Chronicle of Coaching is overflowing with too much information. At least, too much to read in one sitting. Now we’ll offer coaching news, hot and fresh each day, under the headline, "Today’s Coaching News." You’ll find it front and center on our Coaching Commons homepage. So visit more often to read what’s new – Still BIG news, just smaller bytes.
