ActionCOACH Franchise Wins 2007 Stevie Award

“Best Overall Company in North America”

World’s Premier Business Award Competition Gives Global Business Coaching Franchise Its Top Honor; Contest Judged by International Business Leaders

Action Coach announced today that it has won one of the world’s top business honors: the 2007 International Stevie Award for “Best Overall Company in North America.”

The Stevie Business Awards is the only international, all-encompassing business awards program. Judged by a blue-ribbon panel of CEOs, business school academics and industry leaders from around the world, the Stevie Awards exists to raise the profile of exemplary companies among the press, the business community, and the public. The New York Post has called the Stevies “the business world’s own Oscar Awards.”

As “Best Overall Company in North America” for 2007, ActionCOACH is recognized for its innovation, integrity, and growth. The company will receive its award at a gala dinner ceremony September 10, 2007 at the Munich Marriott Hotel in Munich, Germany.

“Besides the long-term success of our franchisees and clients, being named ‘Best Overall Company in North America’ is one of the highest accomplishments ActionCOACH could hope to achieve,” said Brad Sugars, chief executive officer of ActionCOACH. “This is an award that recognizes not only the exceptional worth of our system’s coaching services, but also the way we at ActionCOACH conduct ourselves — our culture, our values and the way we’ve chosen to do business. On behalf of our employees, as well as our 1,000 franchisees in 23 countries around the world, I’d like to thank the International Stevie Awards for this tremendous honor.”

Winners of the International Stevie Awards were chosen from over 1,000 nominations received from more than 30 countries. A two-step judging process determines winners, with the Stevie Awards’ distinguished panel of judges and advisors deciding the Stevie Award recipients from a select group of finalists.

In addition to the Best Overall winners, the Stevie Awards recognizes companies for specific achievements including social responsibility, innovation, customer service, human resources, marketing, and new products. Stevie Award winners receive a statuette designed by R.S. Owens, the same company that makes the Oscar®, Emmy, and Clio awards.

ActionCOACH, is one of the fastest growing franchises and is the largest business coaching company in the world. The company was established in 1993 in Australia by a young visionary named Brad Sugars. Brad recognized early on that most owners of small and medium-sized businesses were unaware of how to effectively grow their businesses and achieve their goals. He developed a comprehensive system and methodology to assist business owners in achieving their goals and realizing their dreams with dramatic results. The company began franchising in 1997, and now has nearly 1,000 offices in 23 countries around the globe. For more information visit Action Coach.
