It is important to note that nothing can be achieved without your full commitment. Successful coaching relies heavily on the clients being fully engaged and committed to create their own success. Being able to delegate tasks; being accountable and hold others accountable are attributes essential to operational efficiency.

One's ability to learn when coached well and exposed to the right elements can be a fast track to the top. With your commitment and willingness guided by our expert coaching you are certain to get what you want, when you want it, CONSISTENTLY!
Business coaching is an excellent way to obtain and improve: leadership, corporate infrastructure, operational efficiency, business automation, organizational skills, admin procedures and operational protocols, HR best practices, employee accountability, teambuilding & leveraging key employees, sales success strategies, streamlined time management, communication skills, goal setting, and critical thinking & strategic planning. Simply put, Growth By Design can support you in each critical aspect of your business operations.
In any business, success is not a matter of luck or the product or service you sell, rather it is a matter of developing the right skills and the know-how to create and execute the right strategies. In order to succeed, you must integrate continuing personal development with advancement of your professional skills. You must create your unique recipe of success; master the ability to come up with the appropriate strategies when required, and execute those masterfully, every time.
For a business to succeed it must perform well in three critical areas:

Your coach is not your cheerleader. He is not there to tell you how wonderful you are; rather to make you perform at your optimum level. An expert coach knows how to drive individuals like a GPS system. Always the same theme - no ‘wow you are brilliant’ rather ‘go here now’ - ‘try this next’. He must also be able to help you identify those attributes of your own behavior that impede your growth; identify and build your key strengths and develop critical strategies, specifically for you – however, he does not execute -- this is your responsibility.
Growth by Design's unique approach to business and life coaching is based on an understanding that recommendations alone, while an essential place to start, do not equate to solutions. There must be implementation of critical, strategic decisions in a timely manner
Having been in the trenches for 30+ years, we understand that loss of control, open-ended engagements without specific performance measuring methods and not knowing exactly how things will develop, are legitimate concerns shared by most business owners, when considering bringing in an outsider. We know that each business is unique and only the owners and operators have a full handle on all of its nuances and dynamics. We are fully committed to addressing these concerns – we understand that you must maintain full control during the coaching process, that confidentiality is of the utmost importance and that you must not get bound into open-ended arrangements.
We work with small business owners and entrepreneurs to get their company off the ground – and we also work with existing businesses, and those wanting to expand, either locally, or Globally. We provide specific, step-by-step coaching to get them to the next level, and then the one after that.
We not only coach you to develop specific solutions for your business needs in any and all areas of your business; we also use our network of key contacts to help you obtain and implement those solutions.
We coach our clients at all stages of their business formation and development, from the very basic to extremely complex matters.

Our clients have found that our Audit and Action Plan is packed with value, and a most logical starting point. It is designed to give you an accurate snapshot of your operation and an opportunity to test, asses & evaluate; a sort of a test drive of our services and our ability to perform & deliver -- all of this at a minimal cost and without any ongoing binding agreements. During this Audit, we identify, who does what, how well are they doing it, what’s working & what’s not, what’s missing, and what’s needed? We look at the nuances & critical functions of each and every aspect of your business and the main drivers of profitability. We also identify specific areas of improvement and exactly what resources maybe needed and are available. |
