What Is a Business Coach?

It’s important to understand what a business coach does. Many leaders confuse executive/business coaches with consultants. Believe me, they’re not the same thing. A consultant will come into your business and work with you regarding a single issue in which they have a level of expertise. That can be very helpful. But that’s not what a business coach is all about.

A business coach examines your whole organization, and “gets under the hood” to see how things run. After considerable observation, a business coach will suggest pragmatic steps to take, provide you tools to make needed changes, and coach you in the implementation of those actions. And the most important point of all? A great coach will hold you accountable for all you have committed to!

If you want to see dramatic changes in the way your business operates, you can’t conduct business as usual. You need to identify meaningful goals and create a strategy for their achievement. That’s exactly what I do. I have the tools and the experience to help you create and achieve specific, realistic goals for you and your company.
