MYCA Coaching Solutions and Procter & Gamble Enter Into Collaborative Partnership

CINCINNATI, Oct. 28, 2002 - MYCA Coaching Solutions, a division of MYCA Group and Associates, and The Procter & Gamble Company today announced a collaborative partnership that expands MYCA's national on-line business development coaching program for minority businesses. ExecuTrain®, MYCA Coaching Solutions and the Minority Business News USA will launch MB e-Coach at the 2002 National Minority Supplier Development Council Conference and Business Opportunity Fair in Los Angeles on October 28-29, 2002.

Sponsored by Procter & Gamble, MB e-Coach is a unique on-line business development resource designed for minority and women entrepreneurs. MB e-Coach combines professional coaching with a robust virtual campus-offering curriculum created by such leaders in business education as Harvard Business School and QuicKnowledge. MB e-Coach members access this minority and women on-line community at www.mbecoach.com for business development coaching and training. Interested minority and women entrepreneurs are also invited to visit the site and become members for a small, one-time fee.

"Our mission is to leverage the power of the Internet to provide the support, curriculum and training needed to improve the success rate of businesses owned by minorities and women," says Joan Carroll-Flowers, president of MYCA Coaching Solutions. "What we have developed is a unique "blended learning" system that combines professional coaching and teleclasses with an on-line business curriculum created by leaders in business education."

MB e-Coach features four Competency Development Programs designed to address the business learning needs of minority and women-owned businesses: Business Basics Business Fundamentals, High Performance, and Skills Mastery. Online community members have 24/7 access to dynamic business development solutions that build capability into the business.

This year, the National Minority Supplier Development Council Conference and Business Opportunity Fair celebrates its 30th Anniversary. The theme is, "Corporate America and Minority Businesses: Partnering for Global Success."

"We are very excited that this premier conference will bring together minority businesses and corporations to participate in outstanding sessions and special events," says Icy Williams, Supplier Diversity Manager for P&G. "What better place to launch MB e-Coach nationally," Williams continues. "P&G is proud to sponsor this groundbreaking collaboration and we're looking forward to a long-term partnership."
