Business Coaching
Business start-ups and small/medium sized businesses often require specialist help in taking their business to the next level. Many such firms are run by people with excellent knowledge of their particular trade or profession but who need vital support when faced with the day to day running of the business. We can offer this support. Many businesses worldwide are now benefiting from coaching on such issues as:
- Setting realistic and achievable goals.
- Effective marketing and promotion.
- Handling budgets and financial planning.
- Setting up an effective recruitment and appraisal process.
- Customer service analysis.
- Presentation skills and handling meetings.
- Work/Life balance.
Business Coaching is an interactive relationship between the Business Owner/Manager and the Coach. It focuses on enhancing the performance of the business or the team under your influence. Through the Coaching sessions, steps towards your values, goals and underlying issues are identified and discussed. This supports you as a business owner to design a manageable and effective action plan that is originated by you and initiated through your actions.
Why do business owners/managers welcome it?
There is a feeling of isolation when running a business. Coach 4 Executives Director, Jackie Arnold, felt this when she was director of her first business in Switzerland. Business leaders have little opportunity to exchange views and opinions on the issues that they are confronted with.
Business owners are also constantly being asked to meet new regulations and absorb new techniques. Emotional intelligence is just one example. Many business owners have not been trained in these techniques. Coaching provides a safe and efficient way to harness your expertise and explore new areas.
Enhancing the ways teams work together and allowing them to take ownership of their decisions are crucial in today's world.
We work with successful teams to apply the principles of effective task processes which will enable them to work together in harmony. Successful team leaders know how to balance the focus on productivity with attention to each individual's values and needs and their ability to relate to others in the group.
Our programmes for team building and fostering emotional intelligence enable team members to keep the lines of communication open and enhance a sense of trust. Workers who feel motivated and encouraged to make decisions based on trust and co-operation will go the extra mile to please customers and therefore improve the bottom line.
Through workshops, interactive presentations, one to one coaching/group coaching we will work with you to:
- Build strong teams and keep them motivated.
- Determine the next level of team development.
- Analyse the team's achievements and set new goals.
- Mediate conflict within teams.
- Coach teams to build trust and co-operation.
- Set up peer coaching as a way forward.
