Elm Grove, WI, December 17, 2010 – ActionCOACH, the world’s leading business and executive coaching firm, won Gold honors in the Ava Awards, sponsored by the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals (AMCP) for its documentary short, “The Business of Coaching.”

The documentary won Gold for the short film’s overview of what business coaching is and how business coaching shows owners how to run a better business while getting better results in terms of time, team and money. The documentary was shot on three continents with the cooperation of dozens of ActionCOACH Business Coaches and their clients.

The Ava Awards recognize excellence by creative professionals in the category of audio-visual materials and programs. This year, more than 1,700 entries were judged from the U.S. and a number of international locations. Approximately 12% were deemed Gold Winners.

The Ava Award is the latest in a series of awards for the ActionCOACH Global Marketing team, which also garnered Hermes Platinum Awards for its Coaching for a Cause pro-bono campaign launched last year, that raised $3.4 million in funds and donations within a six-month period.

“The ActionCOACH global marketing team is a great team of professionals from a wide variety of backgrounds that work well together and produce outstanding work,” ActionCOACH of Elm Grove President Jim Palzewicz said. “It’s nice to be recognized for that work, and we’re proud they were awarded the Ava for this important project.” The “Business of Coaching” can be viewed on the ActionCOACH company website at actioncoach.com .
