Gain Success in Business

Earl Nightingale said, “All you need is the plan, the road map and the courage to press on to your destination.”

Let’s reframe the three components:

  1. The plan – What do you want?
  2. The roadmap – Where are you going and how will you get there?
  3. The courage to press on – Consistent, motivated, actions to bring your idea into reality.

What do you want?

You know you and your business better than anyone.  We will design an alliance to make your ideas into your reality.  You may not have a clear idea what you want.  Then we can work together to develop your vision and build the foundation to get what you defined you want.

Where are you going, and how will you get there?

Once you zero in on what you want, you can decide on where you want to take this vision, how you want to get there and what steps it will take.

The SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time activated) system will help to develop a program to get you there.

Consistent, motivated, actions to bring your idea into reality.

Time activating each step will help outline consistent action. However, obstacles often appear that take a toll on either consistent action or motivation or both.  The coaching process will help you get past the obstacles, put the motivation back in the task at hand and refocus on consistent action.

How Does Coaching Work?

Coach Kelley helps business owners, executives and managers to create change.  Change that will evoke consistent sustainable growth and profitability, greater productivity and a compelling work-life balance to meet or exceed their own expectations.  

Most clients prefer two one-hour sessions per month. Some clients opt to meet more during the month. Coaching is delivered by telephone, Skype, Google, or a communication technology of the client’s choice. By leveraging technology, we can make effective change to transform leaders to excel in business and work-life balance.

Group Coaching

Group coaching can be a cost-effective way to get coached for those who could not otherwise afford a coach.  Group coaching helps individuals in the group get into action, take risks and add a dimension of accountability.  The group coaching approach increase each member’s knowledge and experience and foster community within the group. And group coaching is an affordable and good value alternative to one-on-one coaching.
