This is not a website targeted at coaches. However, it is a great site to market what you have to offer and well worth an explore. You do need to subscribe, and work hard to get your mini site within the site seen. However, there are other benefits in the form of discounts on well attended events, access to resources posted by others, a good discussion forum and the chance to respond to opportunities promoted on the site. If you are a purchaser of training, need to network with others to deliver a contract etc., then you can post your opportunity for free.

This site is American and is very American in style! It is for coaches from every specialism in the marketplace. It is a subscription site, but you do get access to a wealth of resources on line in exchange. The main benefit is that you can access training on line of high quality via teleclasses and web seminars, and it is constantly being updated.
Set up by Richard Winfield from very small beginnings, the Brefi Group are international coaches and trainers of high quality, mainly at executive level. Richard sells resources such as management games on line if you are short of time, offers some free resources and organises events. My main reason for the recommendation is his excellent monthly newsletter. You can expect to receive a thought provoking commentary, a book recommendation and at least one detailed lesson on how to apply a coaching or organisation development aid.
Business Link is a free business advice and support service, available online and through local advisers.
