Dina Dwyer-owens Featured In Inc. Magazine

(Wednesday, March 29, 2006) - Dina Dwyer-Owens, president and CEO of The Dwyer Group®, is featured in Inc. magazine's April feature story "Do You Need a Coach?" In it she credits having an executive coach as a key to mastering time management while growing the company from $16.5 million and 101 employees in 1999 to more than $100 million and 660 employees today.



"Coaches generally focus on one thing: improving your performance as a leader," writes Contributing Editor Alison Stein Wellner in Inc. That's exactly what Dwyer-Owens found when she began participating in Strategic Coach, a national program that helps high-level, high salary entrepreneurs run their companies more effectively.



Wellner asserts that being a CEO can be lonely. And in a company hierarchy where nobody exists above the CEO, more executives are finding the guidance of executive coaches a valuable asset in their abilities to define and grow their individual management skills as well as their respective companies.



According to Inc., "The ranks of executive coaches have swelled from 2,000 in 1996 to 10,000 today." The key is finding the right type of coach for the right type of executive.



Dwyer-Owens credits her coach, Gina Pellegrini, and six years of quarterly executive coaching sessions for honing her ability to think strategically about Dwyer Group's growth while balancing personal and professional time.



Dwyer-Owens and Pellegrini were photographed for the story, which is available on newsstands nationwide and will be posted in April at www.inc.com.
