This may be achieved through strategy and action planning or working on soft skills such as personal effectiveness, communication skills, time and stress management or emotional intelligence and self-confidence issues. We’ll be your biggest cheerleaders and supporters, an objective voice in your business and at times, challenge you on your actions.
With focused and professional coaching everybody wins.
Business Coaching is carried out in the following ways:
Business owners/managers
Do you find yourself working in the business and unable to see the wood for the trees at times? When partnering with a coach you’ll have the opportunity to start working on your business and not just in the business.
By taking an objective view, you’ll understand your business vision and mission more clearly and see how you can reach solid, sustainable success.
Being a business owner can be motivating, invigorating and awesome, but it can also be lonely, overwhelming and stressful. I pride myself on absolutely understanding your passion and desire to achieve, and by partnering with a me, I will provide you with the additional support when you need it.
During the coaching we will establish a “one pager ” business plan by completing the following:
- SWOT analysis of your business, looking at all areas:
- People
- Marketing/sales
- Pricing structures
- Place (brick-and-mortar or online)
- Financials
- Product/service offering
- Processes and systems
- Vision, mission and values (business and personal values)
- Business concept – your unique selling proposition
- Target audience – Building your avatars and value proposition
- Key priorities within your plan and establishing SMART goals and actions
How it works
- An initial 30min discovery session is completed. To understand the business and personal needs and to ensure there is a good synergy. This meeting is held ideally face to face but if distance is an issue a phone or Zoom session can be arranged.
- Moving forward and prior to commencement of the coaching partnership a coaching confidentiality contract is signed off.
- We will meet twice a month (every fortnight) for 60minutes.
- A summary of the session is sent to you after the session, clarifying the key discussion points and homework assignments for the next session.
- The weeks where we are not meeting, a check-in will be completed. Should you need to talk to me during the month, this can be done via email, phone or text message, where applicable. In other words, don’t wait for a formal session to reach out for help.
- Additional sessions can easily be booked if required
- The monthly retainer is billed and payable at the beginning of each month.
- Should you need to postpone a session, I’ll happily try to accommodate your request where possible. If postponing becomes regular, I’ll need to challenge your commitment to your coaching and your investment in your personal growth and development.
Team coaching
A business may have a group of brilliant employees, but in every great business, individuals do not work in silos. The need for team members to work well together is critical in achieving business success. Team synergy is not always a given however. It needs to be established, nurtured and maintained.
And team coaching is not a one-off team-building event, it is carried out over a period of time when your team will cut through the clutter. They’ll set focused goals, action-plans and establish good habits, structures, systems and processes, which then become entrenched within your team’s everyday working lives.
How it works
- Team sessions are facilitated face-to-face at your business premises
- Session topics centre on your business goals and any other issues that need attention or improvement
- Successful sessions always take place in a private space with 100% focus and attention from all team members
- We recommend that team members attend the team sessions as well as individual coaching sessions
