The purpose of The Coaching News is to provide information about emerging trends, critical issues, and essential resources to persons involved in or considering coaching as a career. Each issue is advertising and commercial free.

Typically The Coaching News is a shorter and less comprehensive version of the monthly Peer Bulletin, which is only available to members of the Peer Resources Network. From time to time items from the Peer Bulletin will appear later in The Coaching News. (The Peer Bulletin typically includes items about coaching as well as mentoring and peer assistance.)

The Coaching News typically does not include the graphics, photographs, charts or figures that are included in the Peer Bulletin, nor does it typically include the hotlinks that accompany the articles and resources extracted from and detailed in the Peer Bulletin.

The Coaching News is a service of Peer Resources available at no cost to subscribers. It is typically delivered by email every 45-60 days. It is an opt-in-only newsletter and requires a request to subscribe. Subscriptions can be obtained by sending email to coachingnews@peer.ca and requesting a subscription.

Peer Resources adheres to a privacy policy that prohibits the use of subscriber information or contact details for any commercial purposes. Email addresses are not revealed or provided to any other sources under any circumstances.

The latest issue and all back issues are listed on this page and are all available for viewing at no charge.
