Significantly Improve Your Effectiveness as a Business Coach.

Business coaches have a very special opportunity this June. Dr Bernhard Cevey, a thought leader and active practitioner in leadership training and HR management consulting for more than 25 years, will offer his Business Leadership Coaching program for the first time in North America. Certification will take place over four days, June 8-11, 2010, in Vancouver, British Columbia and will be personally led by Dr Cevey.

Business Leadership Coaching is a core component of the CEVEYSYSTEMS Leadership Development Program developed by Dr Cevey. CEVEY Leadership Development programs have been delivered to leadership teams across Europe, Asia and North America with major organizations including: Oracle, Deutsche Telecom, Bombardier, Canon, Lufthansa, Roche, Hewlett Packard, SAP, Munich Airport and Pfizer.

Dr Cevey completed his doctoral work in Psychology at Tubingen University in Germany, and in addition to his HR consulting activities, is a faculty member at the Zurich International School of Business in Switzerland. Dr Cevey explains, "Success in leadership today demands new skill sets. Over the last 25 years we have developed, tested and deployed a suite of diagnostic tools and leadership development programs proven to create positive change for individuals and organizations."

Market leaders have experienced firsthand the positive and sustained impacts of CEVEY'S methodology. "CEVEY'S state-of-the-art methodology has consistently proven to be highly credible, convincing and easily adopted," said Hans Joachim, Vice President Global Operations ADVA Optical Networking. ADVA worked with CEVEYSYSTEMS over a three year period to implement their Leadership Development program. "We found the CEVEY assessment to be an extremely effective and results oriented method of identifying management capabilities in our group; including our German, U.S. and Chinese teams," continued Joachim. ADVA Optical Networking (FSE: ADV) is a global provider of intelligent telecommunications infrastructure solutions.

CEVEY Business Leadership Coaching [BLC] certification is an intensive 4-day course designed for experienced business coaches with established coaching practices. A key differentiator of BLC is the integration of seven proprietary coaching tools with CEVEY's own leadership assessment tool. CEVEY'S approach will be of particular interest to any professional currently using DISC, Insight, Birkman, MBTI or other assessments currently on the market.

CEVEYSYSTEMS GmbH has formed a partnership with local BC company, Quay Communications Inc., to lead their North American roll out.
