Typically, owner and advisor would meet three times per month in order to review strategy, planning, skills application, change implementation and measurement.

What is Business Coaching?

Business coaching is a relatively new profession. It’s neither consulting... nor leading seminars. Business coaching offers incremental growth and change through ongoing job-embedded support.

‘you didn’t learn to ride a bike with a consultant or in a seminar...’

“Coaching is unlocking a person’s potential to maximize their own performance. It is helping them to learn rather than teaching them. Clients say coaching brings out their best by helping them focus, break down tasks and clarify their values.”

Fortune Magazine

“Coaching is having a dedicated mentor; it’s getting knowledgeable support and encouragement and a new way of looking at things when you need it.”

Executive Female Magazine

“The benefits of coaching appear to win over even the most cynical clients within just a few weeks.”
