Press Release Body = Corporations Discover that Employees Receiving Executive Life
Coaching are Trading In Stress for Success

In a world where stress, anxiety, tension and depression are becoming the norm in
the workplace, more companies are coming to realize the importance of their
employees\' mental health-even for the bottom line. In turn, corporations are
signing on with executive coaches. These are not traditional business coaches or
career coaches, but \"executive life coaches,\" trained to facilitate an executive\'s
life balance first-and those riding this new wave of executives with \"peace of mind\"
are making the company more money.

London, Ontario, Canada-August 14th, 2006-Executive Life Coach, Gail Nielsen,
Principal Coach of The Move Mountains Group (http://www.extraordinarymoves.com), and
co-author of The Control Freak\'s GuideT to Living Lightly and it\'s forthcoming
sequel, The Control Freak\'s GuideT to Mindful Management
(http://www.controlfreakseries.com), states that \"working under increased stress and
pressure has become the barometer for an executive\'s worthiness to retain his or her
position. In many cases, one\'s stress level itself has become a badge of honor.\"
But, many companies are discovering that executives receiving coaching with the aim
of \"decompressing\" and finding more joy and work-life balance also engage in higher
performance at work. Numerous recent studies have provided empirical evidence that
shows that coaching results in a positive ROI and that salespeople who are coached
show increases in productivity. According to Nielsen, coached executives find
freedom from unnecessary cares and worries-not from the cares and goals of the
company.

Executive coaching firms like The Move Mountains Group
(http://www.extraordinarymoves.com) have found that executives who use life coaching
to achieve balance and peace in their private lives free up energy that would
otherwise be consumed by worry and anxiety or used to manage the executive
stress-state. After coaching, this energy can be invested more effectively back into
their work. Nielsen also states that, much of the time, CEO\'s and other senior
managers are themselves highly stressed to the point of deteriorating physical and
mental health and relationship and family breakdowns. In turn, it becomes difficult
for those in upper management to identify systemic stress in the company and, in
turn, to identify with full clarity the cause of high turnover rates and
absenteeism, high compensation claims (often directly related to cumulative stress)
and generally lower-than-expected performance.

This is where executive coaching firms like The Move Mountains Group are called in
to work with executives one-on-one and with teams and departments to identify
problem areas, decrease individual and systemic stress levels and improve the
overall morale and, in turn, revenue of the company. The Move Mountains Group
(http://www.extraordinarymoves.com) specializes in coaching CEO\'s, senior managers
and executives who feel stressed or unfulfilled in their work or private lives and
who are ready to use their successes to change the world. The Move Mountains Group
offers individual coaching to their clients over the phone, a common format for life
coaching, as they serve executives around the globe and so that their local clients
can keep appointments when travelling and can phone in from their offices. The firm
also runs courses and has a free e-newsletter called \"The Carefree Executive\" that
can be accessed through their website (http://www.extraordinarymoves.com).
