Coaching - The Directors' Centre Way

Do You Need To:

• Work with someone who can really help you develop your business?
• Spend some time outside the business to work on the business?
• Find some independent, impartial expert advice...?
• Use a sounding board without the baggage or politics?

Working with a Directors' Centre coach may be the answer.

who Is It Aimed At?

• Owner-managers or key decision-makers of growing companies
• People who feel they need some help from someone who has 'been there and done it'
• People who will appreciate our no-nonsense approach to helping businesses.  

How Does It Work?

1. Meet with the coach for an exploratory meeting - check the chemistry and that you feel that this is the right person for you to work with.
2. Agree a clear outline and objectives, purpose of the relationship, issues to be addressed, desired outcomes, timing and fees.
3. You sign the contract and work starts almost immediately.
4. Usually, the first meeting runs from 4pm to 2pm the following day. This fast-tracks the relationship... the coach gets to understand you and your business (strengths, weaknesses, key issues). You leave with an action plan for yourself along with an outline agenda of how, when and what you are going to be working on.
5. You meet to address the key issues as agreed on a monthly basis. Meanwhile, you will speak on the phone and use email as arranged.

What Sort Of Things Can You And Your Coach Work On?

Recent assignments include the following:

• Sorting the strategy or sales/marketing plan
• Sorting the people (senior management team, board) roles, relationships
• Grooming the business for sale, or for investors
• Responding to sudden, fundamental changes
• Auditing the current business environment, new product development, preparing for team strategy events, implementing a plan, and so on.

What's So Special About The Directors' Centre's Way?

• Working with Directors' Centre people you get coaching in our particular style - the same philosophy and approach that permeates all our work - honest, practical, challenging, goading, output-oriented and results-focused.
• Our one-to-one coaches are trained and qualified but more important, they have run (and/or are running) their own businesses.
