How to Hire the Right
Business Coach
Millions of people who once worked in small busi-
nesses across the country are facing the possibility
that their employers may not need them anymore.
As the search for new job opportunities begins, many
will look to business coaches and life coaches for
guidance. Unfortunately, not all coaches have your
best interests at heart.

Watch out for coaches promising high earnings and
immediate results. BBB’s Scam Tracker reports show
that some coaches make big promises before disap-
pearing with their client’s payment. Better Business
Bureau (BBB) has received a spike in customer com-
plaints on legitimate companies who advertise high
returns on the coaching investment but fail to deliver
the mentorship promised.

Coaching is a largely unregulated business, with some           Look for an expert. Regardless of their area of exper-
non-profit organizations offering accreditations to pro-        tise, a good business or life coach should be a leader in

Help protect your water lines from freezing this winter
Every winter some Calgarians experience freezing service
lines, water pipes, and water outages. Some major factors
include the ground depth of water service pipes, river                     BEFORE                 AFTER
water temperature, and frost depth. Those close to the
river or in older communities tend to be at higher risk.
