What I can do for you

 

Business coaching supports entrepreneurs in achieving the results that are important to his or her personal success and the long term success of his or her organization.  I assume that my client is the expert on his or her own business/career.  My role as a business transformational coach is to draw out my client's expertise or lack thereof through inquiry, curiosity, challenges, and accountability.  I help my client to stretch into his or her best self.  To do that, I introduce self-observation exercises and behavioral practices.  I am attentive to my clients physical, emotional, cognitive and spiritual state.  I help my client to focus on his or her presence and behaviors.  My role as a business transformational coach is distinct from therapy, or counseling.  However, business transformational coaching does address personal issues or life conditions that impact a client's professional effectiveness.
