Small Business Coaching

The typical small business owner/manager needs support with time management, dealing with change, maintaining excellent customer service, developing effective marketing strategies, communication skills, stress management, strategic consulting, work plans, HR solutions, and team-building among other things.

Here are some ways that I will help you:

• Increase productivity: Is everyone on your team making the best use of his/her time? Are you? Are you spending enough time growing your business? If not, I can help!
  
• Project Management & Completion: can help you streamline your project, prioritize tasks, and set do-able timelines to help you get the job done!
  
• Improve Customer Service: Are your customers singing your praises to everyone they know? If not, learn how to make that happen!
  
• Marketing: Do you have all the clients you want/need? If not, find out how to get more!
  
• Stress Management: Do you have a high pressure job? Do you or anyone on your team seem to be suffering from high stress? Symptoms include: Inability to concentrate, irritability, feeling tense, backaches, headaches, stomach aches, low energy, and feeling overwhelmed by the never-ending lists of things to do. Learn some ways to help improve you and/or your team’s ability to deal with stress- It Is Easier Than You Think!
  
• Communication skills: Do you ever feel misunderstood? Are you sure that people are receiving the message that you intended to send? Are you accurately receiving messages from others? Learn some ways to improve your communication skills- you will be able to get your message across much more effectively and efficiently.
  
• HR solutions: Are you adding/changing staff on an ongoing basis? Do employee roles change as the company grows and changes? I can help you develop creative solutions for maintaining a sense of continuity in an unstable environment.
  
• Team building: Does your staff work together well? Is the office morale high? If not, team building can help!
  
• Leadership training: Do you want to have a more powerful, positive, and lasting impact within your organization, profession, family, and/or community? I can help you recognize your personal leadership strengths and know how to use them most effectively, and perceive and build on the strengths inherent in others to create powerful alliances and achieve mutual goals.
  
• Change management: Most people do not care for change. It is a survival mechanism that our ancestors passed along to us and is very useful in many situations. However, in a fast-growing company, change is the norm rather than the exception. Don’t expect your team to naturally embrace constant change- it goes against much of human nature. You can learn ways of minimizing the negative effect of change and training your team to embrace new opportunities in the workplace.
  
• Vision and employee buy-in: Do you spend much of your time fighting fires instead of growing your company? Is your company and your staff directionless? If you do not have a company vision statement, you should create one, and if you already have a company vision, this may need to be updated. I can help you develop/ update your company vision- It will be fun and will energize you and your team!
