What have we noticed in over 21,000 hours of coaching? Some common threads appear and re-appear among a wide variety of publishing clients, large and small, from around the world. These common issues and challenges are the basis for our list of publishing coaching topics. These topics, and others which can be custom-designed for you and your publishing company/organization, are a foundation of the following programs: publishing TeleForums, Training, Group Coaching, Distance Learning, Train-The-Trainer, and Private Coaching. We have organized these publishing coaching topics into five major categories, which we call the Five Ps: People; Product/Service; Profits; Progress; and Process.
