Coaching for business owners
As the owner of a privately owned business, you will appreciate how lonely it can be. Although your days feature endless interaction with clients, team members and business associates you may lack a trusted adviser who is looking out for your interests.
Consequently important decisions get made on the fly; you get stuck doing tasks you don’t enjoy whilst other parts of your life are neglected.
Examples that I frequently encounter include –
- Partnership changes
- The decision to specialise
- Changing one’s role in the business
- Addressing areas of weakness
- Handing responsibility over to others
- Succession and exit
Even handling extreme success can bring a set of issues for which one can feel underprepared.
Having successfully coached business owners about these matters for many years, I now have a select few places available for one-on-one coaching.
You will find me a good listener, a conscientious note taker and excellent with providing follow up action items. Whilst I’m great at solving problems, my approach is based upon helping you to develop your own solutions. Our discussions and action plans will be enriched by incorporating your Instinctive Drives and/or Working Genius profiles.
You’ll also find there are overlaps with my personal training, as I will expect you to be physically active as we work together.
Personal Accomplishment Frameworks. Throughout my career I have explored the gap between potential plus good intentions on the one hand, and execution + results on the other. More particularly, I have developed and tested a range of frameworks which, when implemented, can make a profound difference to what gets accomplished. With consistency, you will progress from competence to mastery, seeing benefits and improvements in every aspect of your life you care to focus upon.
For some, the prospect of actually achieving their annual goals and/ or fitness objectives is particularly engaging. For others it’s more about ticking off significant items quarter by quarter. Many also appreciate structuring their working week and working day in ways which make them much more effective.
Any of these frameworks can be topped off by a bespoke annual review, a process which provides a calibrated assessment of not just the year that was but a comparison with previous years. The reflection triggered by this process provides profound insights that help guide setting, and achieving, goals in the future.
