What is a business coach?

 

Business coaching is a synergistic relationship between a business coach and a client designed to tap into the client's full potential. Just as Olympic athletes wouldn’t think of training without the added insight, objective perspective and enthusiastic support of an athletic coach, many of today’s most successful business leaders, professionals, executives, entrepreneurs, and CEOs use the services of a business coach to take their lives, careers, or businesses to the next level. MrJackBrickhouse will address your coaching needs for both your personal and professional life.

Why does business coaching work?

​

"Coaches have the ability to view things from afar — in what some call ‘helicopter vision’ — and to shed new light on difficult situations. Often they can act as a sounding board through tough decisions, help sharpen skills, and motivate."

​

An article in Public Management revealed a study where training alone was compared to business coaching combined with training. The study showed that training alone increased productivity by 22.4% while training combined with weekly life coaching increased productivity by 88%.

 

Here is why:

 

1) Accountability. Most business coaches have 3-4 calls or meetings per month with their clients. This regularly scheduled call prompts clients to get more done than they would if left to their own devices. Think about it, if you work out with a personal trainer at the gym, you work much harder than on your own. Clients take bigger actions, set bigger goals, and think bigger when they work with a professional coach.

 

2) Expertise. A business coach knows how to help you set the right goals, make more money, and structure your personal and professional life to achieve greater productivity with less effort. You’ll achieve more in less time with the input of a business coach on your side.

 

3) Delivery. A business coach knows how to use the right words so that you are naturally motivated. It doesn’t take brow-beating or nagging when you are working with a skilled life coach. Coaching typically works best with a weekly call or meeting so clients have time to integrate new ways of thinking and take action each week toward their goals. Business coaching can be done by phone or in-person and is usually delivered in half-hour to one-hour coaching calls. The experience is challenging and uplifting. You’ll look forward to your weekly calls with your business coach. 

 

4) Speed. Most people find that things start to happen very quickly after hiring a business coach.

 

Who works with a Business Coach?

 

Entrepreneurs, executives, business leaders, actors, musicians, creative people, managers, small business owners, start-ups, professionals, and home-makers all reach their goals with the help of a business coach. If there is a gap between where you are now and where you want to be, there is room for business coaching. Not only will your business coach help you close the gap, but your business coach will also help you break through your limited beliefs and challenge you to think bigger.
