Well, hi there. It's Coach Carole Ann here. How are you doing in this slightly draggy time between Christmas and New Year, Twixmas, whatever it's called? But it is a little bit draggy, isn't it? Unless you've got high hopes for the New Year and lots of raring New Year's resolutions to roll out into 2025. 

Well, you know, New Year's resolutions have a habit of hitting the buffers around about March because it relies a lot on willpower and motivation, which tend to flag and wane as we go along. Now, I've got something that is guaranteed to light your fires in these cold, dark months, and that is some truly, truly, fabulously exciting news. That yes, in 2025, you can change your life and your career forever with guaranteed positive results. 

Yep. Well, I would say that, wouldn't I? But also, I've got such thrilling news. The Pure Coaching Academy, which has been established over 13 years now, with over 200 coaches going through our academy and going on to create amazing businesses, is now going international. 

I know. It's amazing, isn't it? So yes, as usual, my new term as a spring term starts on the 22nd of February, which is online and it's an eight-week course and I will be hosting that. But the fabulous news is, on the 7th of March, we launched PCA, Pure Coaching Academy, in Italy. 

Fabulous news. Our superstar coach, Natalie, who was one of my first ever clients nearly 20 years ago, then she was a student on Pure Coaching Academy and now is an amazing coach in Milan. And she's been living in Milan since 2012 as a multilingual coach steeped in financial services, but also a great coach helping Italian people, expats, have better lives, have better businesses and overall really making vast improvements in people's lives in Italy at the moment. 

And she is now going to host the Milan Pure Coaching Academy and that starts on the 7th of March and all details are on the PCA website. But it's absolutely phenomenal news and I can't wait to bring this to the Italian market. Then on the 16th of May, Cube Google call again, we've got Julie Brown, who's launching in Brighton and that's actually an in-person academy. 

My academy in February is online, but Julie is hosting on the 16th of May, the first ever Brighton Pure Coaching Academy in person. It's going to be every Friday for eight weeks. Again, Julie was one of my clients. 

She then went on the Pure Coaching Academy course and now has set up a thriving business where she particularly works with women over 50, building confidence and visibility and self-esteem. She's got an amazing business there. So really, really exciting news. 

Two new developments, Pure Coaching Academy Italy, online from the 7th of March and Julie's in-person Brighton Academy from the 16th of May. Now, if you haven't heard about Pure Coaching Academy, I just wanted to give you a few little heads up notices here. Pure Coaching Academy, basically we stand for coaching excellence.

I've been a coach for over 20 years and the academy started around about 13 years ago. And what we're doing is carrying the torch for coaching excellence. I don't want people to come on my course and not feel they know what to do afterwards, how to get clients, how to set up an abundant practice. 

So we're passionate about people being trained properly and earning good money from it. And why not? So that's why we include towards the end of the course, a lot of business modules, how to create a niche, how to use social media and the press to attract clients and how to set up a professional abundant practice. When I graduated over 20 years ago, I didn't have a clue how to get clients. 

And we're going to show you how to do that. Today, over 200 coaches have been through our academy. And if you check out, we've got nothing but five star Google business reviews as well. 

I'm very, very proud of that, because this is the reviews and the recommendations from the students. And that really swells my heart, actually. We also have a unique spirituality module that many people are attracted to. 

This is completely original and unique to us. And this really helps people when they're working with clients, find meaning and purpose in every day of their lives, not just the big goals like a bigger house, bigger job, a new partner, starting a business. It's about how to really truly relish life every single day. 

And that's the spirituality module. And it's absolutely beautiful. It's one of my favourite modules. 

Along with all the classic core foundation, coaching tools and techniques we teach you, we also are joined by many top guest speakers from the world of neuroscience, digital marketing, art therapy, amongst others, who will share their knowledge on how to be an excellent coach and how to get your business sorted out and what's going on in the brain when we are actually coaching our clients. At PCA, we also offer unlimited free ongoing support and mentoring, because we are committed to your success. We don't just say wave goodbye after the eight weeks. 

We have a monthly catch up call, which is free and ongoing forevermore. So I have to say, as you can probably tell, I am more than thrilled by this new direction. This is what I've been dreaming of for years. 

I've got the right coaches in place. Natalie and Julia are absolutely phenomenal. And if you're thinking, well, you know, coaching is a flooded market, it so isn't. 

It is a dawning profession. And what I mean by that is many professions are now becoming obsolete, redundant, and they're just not working anymore. But coaching really is a dawning profession, not a sunset one. 

So why don't you join us? Do you want to change your life and career in 2025 with guaranteed success? Of course you do. So join us. Join Pure Coaching Academy.

We do things differently here. We are changing the world one coach at a time.
