Business Coaches

A Business Coach is your partner in achieving your personal and business goals. A trainer in communication and life skills, your sounding board when making choices, your motivator when strong actions are called for, your unconditional support when times are tuff, your mentor in personal development, your co-designer when developing an extraordinary project, and most importantly, your partner in living the life you know you are ready to live, both personally and professionally. Indeed a Business Coach is there to support YOUR efforts, because in the end, the results earned…… are yours!

How often should new managers implement control

As a newly minted manager, earning trust, having difficult conversations, demonstrating commitment, providing accountability, working towards intended results, taking Control, and meeting the team / customer / company needs is a lot of effort!

Maximizing personal effectiveness is a crucial skill, but blind spots can often hinder your progress. Beware the impact of your blind spots--they can decrease your effectiveness and damage your work relationships, whether you're a business owner, executive, manager, or frontline worker. The good news is that you can learn how to identify and eliminate these blind spots, for yourself and others.

Without Vision, I believe humans are left blowing aimlessly in the wind—rudderless in turbulent water.  That being said, a company’s strategic vision describes what?  Let's frame it up a bit together.

Leadership framework matters, systems matter, people matter more!

Understanding your unique role in the organization with absolute clarity is key to effectively executing in any role.  Clearly defined organizational vision, mission, and values are the foundation for effective managerial leadership, as they enable sound decision-making and positive outcomes.

The fear of public speaking is overrated. 

I hate to break it to you, but this fear does not even rank on the top 10 fears in the modern world.  This surprised me as well as I researched for this piece.  Instead,  things like spiders, snakes, dogs, not being good enough, risk, failure, rejection, all rank - but not public speaking.  In the modern functioning business world public speaking skills are essential for success for any business leader.

To me, communication is very personal. How we effectively communicate with others matters on many levels. In the end, being an effective communicator is the goal. To outwardly convey a message, that is received as intended, with desired awareness or action taken. In a nutshell, there it is.
