Weekly Plan

Weekly individual coaching is the fastest and most effective way to improve your business. You'll meet with your coach every week, for a minimum of an hour. All Business Evaluation, DISC and FINTEL tools are included. This also includes team coaching for key staff members as required. You'll also have unlimited telephone and e-mail coaching support.

You and your coach will spend the first few weeks gathering information and analyzing where your business is and where you want it to go. The agenda after the analysis is then decided by you and your coach, with the most pressing issues being addressed first.

Bi-Weekly Plan

The Bi-Weekly Coaching Plan is similar to the Weekly Plan, with the exception that the one-on-one meetings that occur every two weeks. The same coaching tools are included, with telephone and email coaching support between sessions limited by the coach.

Business Effectiveness Evaluation

The Business Effectiveness Evaluation is a tool that helps business owners "grade" the effectiveness of themselves and their business in the areas of marketing, sales, customer service, human resources, business systems, profit margins, financial management, leadership and work/life balance. This Evaluation is a part of every coaching assignment and the Business Effectiveness Series. It is used to determine areas of strength and weakness in a business and is also available as a stand-alone service.
