We are at our very best, and we are happiest, when we are fully engaged in work we enjoy, on the journey toward the goal we’ve established for ourselves. It gives meaning to our time off and comfort to our sleep. It makes everything else in life worthwhile – Earl Nightingale

Business Coaching

Business coaching is for business owners, entrepreneurs, managers, and executives at all levels, from corporate, private and non-profit or education sectors. The emphasis of business coaching is on personal development COMBINED WITH the fundamentals of good business - such as strategic planning, communications, marketing, employee relations, leadership and organizational effectiveness.

Business coaching can help accelerate success through increased achievement and effectiveness, accomplishment of significant goals and renewed passion for work, while safeguarding personal values and well-being. The coaching interaction accelerates progress by offering new perspectives and greater awareness of choice.

Some aspects of business coaching include:

  • Defining business or personal goals, vision, strategies and mission.
  • Improving individual performance and bottom-line results, including profit, client service, and competitiveness.
  • Tackling issues and obstacles that can impede success.
  • Increasing confidence, skills-enhancement and self-empowerment.
  • Expanding personal development, communications and interpersonal skills.
  • Moving beyond self-limiting thought patterns and behaviors into new areas of learning and initiative.
  • Designing work that reflects values.
  • Making organizational goals personally meaningful.
  • Transitioning into new roles and managing change.
  • Improving your sense of purpose and job satisfaction.
  • Increasing work/life balance and personal fulfillment.
  • Identifying and changing inadvertent ways of obstructing success.

Business coaching takes stock of the whole person versus isolated components, since many aspects of life are inter-related. At the same time, business coaching focuses on precisely what a client wants and needs - whether it's day-to-day specifics or broad issues. The coaching process establishes where a client is today and identifies where he or she wants to be tomorrow, then facilitates the tools, support and structure that allows moving forward successfully.

Coaching draws on the rich skills and experiences of the individual coach, including human resource management, change and project management, strategic planning, leadership, marketing, organizational development, training, mentoring, stress management, communications and interpersonal effectiveness - as well as life in general.

Business coaching sessions are supportive, flexible, 100% confidential and tailored to meet the individual needs of each client. They are delivered in-person - either in our Wayzata office or in the client's office, over the phone or by email, depending on the client's needs and scheduling parameters.
