Small Business Owners

Congratulations! You’ve made the leap. You’re working for yourself, your business, your goals. You’ve achieved success, and you’re ready for growth.  Now what?

In working with a business coach, you will:

  • Stop procrastinating, set goals and develop a plan to achieve them
  • Increase business productivity and efficiency
  • Improve your communication skills
  • Become a more effective manager to ensure a more cohesive working environment
  • Maximize your networking and marketing efforts, so you attract your ideal clients
  • Conquer obstacles in the sales process

At our first meeting, we set the foundation for our coaching relationship. We discuss your vision for your business, clarify your values and how they affect your business, determine a strategy to achieve your most important goals, and set the agenda for what we intend to accomplish.

On a quarterly basis, we evaluate the following:

  • Increase in revenue
  • Increase in profit
  • Increase in efficiency (getting more done in less time)
  • Increase in leadership (for example, the ability to successfully delegate responsibilities and help employees grow in competence)
  • Increase in satisfaction with your business

We note where you are in relation to your goals, and we adjust your strategy and action plans accordingly. As your coach, I’m your silent partner and sounding board. I provide advice, guidance, accountability and an occasional kick in the butt.

Professionals in Transition

Are you at crossroads in your life?  Feeling like something is missing from your life, but you can’t figure out what it is?

As your business coach, my job is to help you define and achieve your most important goals.  Together, we identify the positives and negatives in your current situation. This helps you determine whether you simply need a new environment, or whether you need a whole new career. I also help to draw out your strong interests, things that stir you up and arouse your enthusiasm. These are often the key to your new career or business opportunity.

You may be at a point in your life where you feel you have no control or choice. If you find yourself saying any of the following things, then hiring a coach could help you experience a happier and more productive life.

  • I want to get more organized with my time, so I can do what I really want to do.
  • I’m not sure I want to stay in my current profession, but I don’t know what to do about   it.
  • I've got a big goal, and I want someone to brainstorm with and keep me on track.
  • I want to stay motivated and focused on my goals.
  • I want to reduce stress in my life.
  • I want to do (xxx), but I can just never find the time or the energy.
  • I want to talk to someone who believes in me, who will support my efforts and who will  not judge what I want or who I am.

Asking for help will empower you and make you more effective as you navigate this next step in your growth. Consider me your business advisor. I’m committed to helping you accelerate the process to find what you need for a career that is truly satisfying and successful.
