The initial training with the PBCA was great, but it’s the ongoing discussions, training and interaction with business coaches from all over North America that really make it impactful. Couple that with a framework and a set of tools that gets better every year and you have an amazing value that really powers my business coaching practice.

Having done extensive research on Business Coaching over a period of 2 months – PBCA was the most logical and value-driven decision I could make. PBCA brings together senior business people willing to share their Business Coaching expertise and tools, as well as their extensive business experience. The result is a quality alliance dedicated to delivering high value solutions to PBCA member clients. In total – it’s a differentiated edge that clients recognize quickly…and value.

When I discovered the PBCA, I not only found all of the prerequisites I was looking for, I received even more. I have been able to run my business coaching practice the way I want and maintain the lifestyle I envisioned. I not only get access to important tools and white papers, but also get amazing support from the PBCA and the coaches within the PBCA. I never though it possible to work independently AND have support at the same time, but the PBCA allows us to have both.

I learned more from the PBCA bootcamp (Certification Course) about how to help business owners than I did in my whole MBA program. I couldn’t believe that the fundamentals worked so well that literally the first person I talked to when I got off the plane from Syracuse has become my first client and that pretty much will pay for the course. I look forward to putting the coaching techniques to work to make a difference in my community for years to come!

The PBCA certification training was a critical step in getting my coaching practice started… What I appreciated the most about the training was it's practical nature. By the end of the week you will know how to coach because you will have done it… Multiple times. Whether it's how to coach, how to set up your business, or how to sell coaching, you won't find a better value for your investment.

Having been in business for over 20 years, as a franchise or and franchisee, I found PBCA to be absolutely refreshing in their their approach. I know with complete certainty that PBCA is looking to come alongside me and give me the tools to build my coaching practice.

I have only been acquainted with Jon for a few months. Having said that, his infectious personality, positive attitude, and strong interest in helping others have made us good friends and colleagues very quickly. Jon's knowledge of business, coaching, marketing, etc. is impressive.

I have attended too many seminars, workshops, symposiums, etc. over my career – and have forgotten just about everyone. The PBCA training that I attended in November 2012 will never be forgotten. It was far and away the best 5 1/2 day training session that I have ever attended.

I was attracted to the PBCA because it presented a business model that simply made sense to me. The alliance created a flexible framework within which I could "color outside the lines” and put my personal stamp on my company. All the while I have enjoyed tremendous support through the PBCA forum and weekly coaching calls with the other member/coaches. The form and library provided great exchange of ideas and tools. The member coaches come from a variety of backgrounds/industries and their experience and expertise is truly impressive.

Jon is a man with a huge heart for helping other people. He lives an exemplary life of helping others. He is a very experienced business coach and an equally good trainer of coaches. I found his coaching to be practical, helpful, focused and geared to the needs of his students. I feel privileged to be a part of the same organization as Jon.

After making the decision to become a coach, I hired someone to individually train me. My coach kept referring to someone that was a very successful business coach. I looked that person up on the Internet and found out that he was trained by an organization called the PBCA. I knew nothing about the PBCA but I called the telephone number listed on their webpage. Jon Denney answer the phone and one week later I was sitting in class. That week I experience the absolute best training of my life. The class I was in was told at the beginning of the week that the following Monday we would be able to go out and hit the ground running. I couldn't believe it but it turned out to be true. (The person that I had originally hired to coach me told me that I would be ready to start coaching and maybe six months.) The knowledge and training I received that week was amazing! I would certainly recommend PBCA to anyone who wants to become a business coach. There is no organization out there, in my opinion, that can compare to the PBCA.

Like me, many of our members have been in charge of businesses and larger organizations. A lot of activity, a lot of people. When you strike out on your own, we can feel isolated and lonely at times. When I found an alliance of fellow men and women professionals like myself, that feeling was replaced with energy and lasting relationships. We don't compete with each other like franchise coaches – we collaborate, share and encourage each other to achieve greatness. We are positioning ourselves to be the world's best in class independent business coaching community globally – a really exciting time to be part of something bigger than yourself.

When I was looking for this opportunity, I was glad to find that the PBCA had some of the most serious prerequisites for membership of any coaching organization in the country. Every perspective coach is well-qualified to assist small business owners even before they are admitted and trained as a professional business coaches. However, no matter what your background, either as an experience small business owner, a leader in the corporate world or a decreed professional, the expert training for small business owners by small business owners will take you to the next level. You will be prepared not only to coach effectively but you will also learn how to build a successful coaching business.

The business coaching certification course exceeded my expectations overall! I can say that the course content, pace of the learning sessions along with frequent reinforcement of the key messages was perfect. Learning was also reinforced through numerous role-playing opportunities during the week. Jon was open and honest with his feedback on my progress during the week and he highlighted different approaches that PBCA coaches have successfully utilized, not just his own approach. The week was very enjoyable overall, with a balance of intensive course work, group lunches, a great wrap up group dinner on the final night, and a wonderful hotel which allowed us to experience the charming historical downtown area of Syracuse. But above all I feel that when we left on the final day not only did we achieve our objectives to receive our business coaching certification but we also developed a sincere friendship with Jon that will be enduring.
