Niggle goes to Vegas baby!


NIGGLE IS UNVEILED AT

THE ANNUAL ICF CONFERENCE IN LAS VEGAS. 

24th - 27th September 2011



Just over a week ago Niggle wiggled its way to the International Coaching Federation's annual conference in Las Vegas.  It was a fabulous opportunity for us to connect with coaches from all over the World.  We were keen to introduce them to Niggle and to have some fun.  After all, it is ‘Fabulous Las Vegas’.

To say we were excited is an understatement.  The lights and razzle-dazzle heightened our sense of elation.  Plastic fantastic.  An extraordinary, celebration of everything over-the-top.  Amazing, wonderful, delightful and awful at the same time.  The energy in Vegas is tangible, unmistakeable, abundant and opulent.  Niggle, barely a week old, was being introduced to the brightest of cities.  A star was being introduced to the natural environment of stars.

Our biggest buzz came from introducing Niggle to coaches from all over the world.  We'd been bubbling for a week as Niggle, following it’s release, made it apparent how pertinent it is for all aspects of coaching. 

Not only is Niggle terrific for individuals who want to gain perspective, experience coaching and eliminate - Nail! - their niggles, it is also ideal for coachees to prepare for and build on the work they do with their coach.  Coaches too have experienced the benefits from using Niggle as a tool, and it’s effectiveness in group coaching.  In short, Niggle is a wonderful coach, a great coaching tool/medium and a superb ambassador for coaching as a whole.

We can’t find a reason not to use Niggle, which is why we could barely wait for the live coaching sessions that took place during our hospitality events.

Over two evenings (Sunday and Monday) we demonstrated Niggle on an iPad hooked up to a projector throwing up a beautiful alive moving colourful image of the Niggle main menu screen… Entrancing!  The joyful energy of Niggle set the tone.

We are still grateful for having had willing volunteers for the demonstrations.  In fact so deeply did one coach wish to assess the app that he/she asked for confidentiality while he laid his heart open to Niggle.  I’m sure he/she (confidentiality see ;) wouldn’t mind me describing the experience as a true breakthrough coaching session.  Many of those witnessing were visibly moved.  The energy around this moment was truly fabulous.  Our other volunteers enjoyed similar profound experiences and even some of the more light-hearted niggles resulted in new perspectives, big ideas and purposeful decisions.

We always knew that this would be one of Niggles biggest tests and we’re really pleased to have been afforded a wonderfully enthusiastic energy and rigorous assessment from our no-nonsense coaching colleagues.

Due to the excitement and energy and buzz and presence we all felt together, which we were deeply enjoying, it’s a wonder we managed to take any pictures at all… there aren’t many :) let alone any testimonials or video.  So friends, coaches, if you’re reading this and were there please send us your experiences in all available formats.




Works on iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch too. Android and Windows versions coming up soon.
