The Blog Squad Goes Live for International Coach Federation Conference in San Jose

Two blogging experts set up live conference blog at www.blogsquadlive.com to demonstrate the power of blogging to the international life and business coaching community.

(PRWEB) November 1, 2005 – Over 1500 professional life and business coaches will have an opportunity to blog their experiences during the International Coach Federation conference November 9-12 in San Jose, California.

“This is the first time participants will be able to write about their experiences in real time, live, during the conference week,” says Blog Squad team member, Patsi Krakoff, Psy.D. “We’re hoping to give ICF conference attendees and the huge world-wide community of coaches a taste of the power of blogs.”

“Anyone can come by The Blog Squad Booth #136 at the event and post their comments and impressions of the Conference,” adds Denise Wakeman, the other half of The Blog Squad. “However, we have a core group of successful coaches who are guest authors who will be writing each day.”

The blog is active now, at www.blogsquadlive.com. Currently there are introductions from all the guest coach authors, and some interesting tips for attending the conference.

Authors include the following experts:

Guest Expert: Dave Taylor, AskDaveTaylor.com

The world of business has changed in the last decade and success is no longer guaranteed through a large marketing and advertising budget. Instead, we're moving into an era that will be characterized by survival of the most findable. That has profound implications on how you do business, far beyond just simple Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Industry expert and best-selling author Dave Taylor will explain how things have changed, why they've changed, and what it means for you and your business.

Dave Taylor has been involved with the Internet since 1980 and is widely recognized as an expert on both technical and business issues. He has been published over a thousand times, launched four Internet-related startup companies, has written nineteen business and technical books and holds both an MBA and MS Ed. Dave maintains three weblogs, The Intuitive Life Business Blog, focused on business and industry analysis, the eponymously named Ask Dave Taylor devoted to tech and business Q&A and The Attachment Parenting Blog, discussing topics of interest to parents. Dave is a top-rated speaker, sought after conference and workshop facilitator and frequent guest on radio and podcast programs.
