Who is Business coaching best suited for?

Business coaching can be invaluable for business owners, CEOs, company founders, company directors, and entrepreneurs. Coaching is most commonly requested at these 5 stages of business development:

  • The embryonic stage – you have a great idea and are thinking of starting a business but don’t know here to start
  • The all too common ‘what have I let myself in for?’ stage – you have started your business and are now wondering if you have bitten off more than you can chew
  • The time to build stage – Your new business is thriving and it is time to create a team and move your business to the next phase
  • The develop your team stage – You have the right people in your business and want to create a development path for them and your business to grow further
  • The time to move on stage – You have created a story to be proud of and are now looking to exit the business to pursue your next chapter
Regardless of where you are in your business owner journey, our coaching can provide you with an external perspective and the support you need to move to the next level and create ongoing success for your business and for you personally.

How does the coaching work in practice?

We work on the basis that you should be aiming for a minimum of three times a return on your investment. Otherwise, coaching becomes an intangible luxury or simply ‘a nice chat’.

  • Our first session will focus on establishing what your goals are and putting some monetary value to these. This can be trickier than it sounds but it is both necessary and motivational if you are to see a tangible return on your investment.
  • A 90 day business plan will be generated, focusing on value-based goals to be achieved within that time period.
  • Once your targets have been met, another plan will be drawn up and so on…

Together we will agree a regular time slot to either speak via phone, Zoom or Teams whichever is your preference. Speaking remotely ensures flexibility for you and committing to regular time slots enables you to schedule your coaching sessions ahead of time.

Maximising a return on your investment

It is important to stress here that you are investing in the outcome of the coaching as opposed to the hourly rate of your session. To this end, our guarantee to you is that if you have not achieved a minimum of three times the return on your investment within six months, then any future coaching is free of charge until this is achieved.

The caveat to this, as you would expect, is that this is conditional on you following up on any agreed actions from your business coaching sessions.
