Weekly individual coaching is the fastest and most effective way to improve your business. With the Weekly Coaching Plan you'll meet with your coach every week, for a minimum of an hour. All Business Evaluation, DISC, FINTEL and limited Profiles International tools are included. This also includes team coaching for key staff members as required. You'll also have unlimited telephone and e-mail coaching support.

You and your coach will spend the first few weeks gathering information and analyzing where your business is and where you want it to go. The agenda after the analysis is then decided by you and your coach, with the most pressing issues being addressed first.

The Bi-Weekly Coaching Plan is similar to the Weekly Plan, with the exception of the one-on-one meetings that occur every two weeks. The same coaching tools are included, with telephone and email coaching support between sessions limited by the coach.

A BANG! group combines group coaching and accountability, networking, Business Effectiveness teaching, and Masterminding, all into one group. Meeting every other week for two hours, the BANG group brings together a small group of successful business people and a professional coach who work, on a confidential basis, to evaluate and solve each others business problems. In a BANG! group you''ll evaluate the state of your business, understand your unique leadership behavior styles, understand the best business practices of other successful businesses, confidentially brainstorm with fellow business owners to solve problems, confidentially work in teams and with partners to develop plans for improvement, follow-up with fellow business owners to insure plans get implemented and see Radical Results in your business.

The Business Effectiveness Series is a 13-week group coaching session that covers the essentials of Business Effectiveness. This series meets for one two-hour session a week for 13 consecutive weeks. Topics covered include a personal style analysis (Extended DISC), vision and mission, marketing, sales, customer service, human resources, and financial analysis. This series is most effective for motivated self-starters who need little follow-up to insure they put the knowledge gained into practice in their business.

The Business Effectiveness Evaluation is a tool that helps business owners "grade" the effectiveness of themselves and their business in the areas of marketing, sales, customer service, human resources, business systems, profit margins, financial management, leadership and work/life balance. This Evaluation is a part of every coaching assignment, the Business Effectiveness Series, and the BANG! group. It is used to determine areas of strength and weakness in a business and is also available as a stand-alone service.

Extended DISC is a personal behavior style analysis. It is a self-assessment questionnaire that identifies personal style strengths and development areas. The online questionnaire takes only 10 minutes to complete and results are ready within minutes. It will provide specific information to help you and your employees make better decisions that will improve your bottom line. Extended DISC is provided with every individual coaching assignment, the Business Effectiveness Series, and the BANG! groups.

Extended DISC Team Analysis combines a team's individual assessments into one report that shows team dynamics and the strengths and development areas of the team as a whole. Team analysis is also available as a work-pair analysis that is especially helpful for work-pairs like business partners, supervisor-subordinates, and two-person teams.

Executives are constantly looking for breakthrough strategies that will give their companies a competitive edge. Once those strategies are formulated they become operating plans and departments are charged with carrying out specific activities. Finally, it's up to individual employees to execute and support those plans.

According to a survey conducted by Right Management Consultants, 30% of all executives and managers are lacking in management skills, including communication skills. The skills most often missing include the ability to engage others in strategy and vision, to help subordinates develop their talents, to communicate, to share information, and to motivate co-workers.

What happens if strategies are not well communicated?

What if cultural barriers stand in the way of progress?

What if employees lack essential skills to accomplish their work?

Brilliant ideas are only as good as the organizations that nurture them and the employees who execute them. Enduring business success happens when companies have the organizational capabilities to transform good ideas into market value. These organizational capabilities are formed by the collective skills of the employees. With this in mind, executives might do well to consider whether their organizations would benefit more from a brilliant new strategy or a plan to upgrade employee skills. Intangible assets, such as employee business skills, culture and leadership may be the key to achieving more successful business results.
