I was at a networking event recently and a gentleman asked me, “I’ve been hearing about the idea of using a business coach, could you give me three reasons why I should?” I said, “Why limit me to three?” He said, “Well if you have more I’d love to hear them.” I fired off twenty-four. Here they are:

1. Gain an objective opinion of your business.
2. Create a strategic plan that will direct how your business will grow.
3. Learn how and why leadership is so vital to business growth and success.
4. Increase the productivity of your business and employees, now and in the future.
5. Uncover skills you didn’t think you had.
6. Increased revenues and bottom line profits.
7. Locate what is missing in your plan in order to develop increased action.
8. Reduce the stress in your personal and business life.
9. Reach and achieve what you once thought were unrealistic goals.
10. Hear how others are achieving success in their business.
11. Cultivate a much larger capacity for producing exceptional results (compared to your current results.)
12. Operate in life as someone who can overcome ANY obstacle regardless of what it is.
13. Have power over your time instead of your time having power over you.
14. Experience having “fun” in business again.
15. Work from a place of creating in life rather than “surviving.”
16. Make a difference in the world in a far more profound way that you are currently.
17. Have greater awareness and greater clarity around goals and objectives.
18. Experience improved relationships among all of your departments in your business.
19. Greater capacity to initiate change within the culture or future of your organization.
20. Increase your competency for conflict management.
21. Become more assertive and make decisions easier.
22. Increase your competency of creating successful new leaders.
23. Experience increased retention and addition of high performance employees.
24. Experience significant ROI (Coaching produced a 529% return on investment and significant intangible benefits to the business. Including benefits from employee retention boosted the overall ROI to 788%.  (Source: Executive Briefing: Case Study on the return on Investment of Executive Coaching Prepared by: Merrill C. Anderson, Ph.D. MetrixGlobal, LLC.)

I just wanted to take a minute and congratulate our sister company, Frankel Media Group.

OK, we get it. We are in a recession. Now that that’s out of the way
what are YOU going to do about it? The truth is, if you are experiencing
a slow down in your business it’s not just due to “the recession.”
It’s very easy to blame it on the recession, the weather, the government,
your employees, the dog, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!

Do you want to know a secret? It won’t help. Success comes once
you decide for it to come. Success comes once you decide to take
control of your destiny. Success comes once you declare an
impossible future that you are willing to commit to and have someone
hold you accountable to.

It takes courage, strength and commitment. Are you willing to step into
that place of possibility? Are you willing to do the work. Most people
are not and that is why they run average and ordinary lives and businesses.

I know that may sound cold, but it’s true. Yes we are in a recession, but
did you know that 16 of the 30 companies that make up the DOW were
started during a recession or even a depression!

For almost three decades I’ve coached employees, businesses and entrepreneurs.
What I’ve found out is that we all need a coach. Regardless of where you
are at in your life or business there is always another level to obtain. The
coaching relationship is unique, powerful and in my opinion one of those things
that should not be negotiable in your life today – especially today!

Coaching is an extraordinary relationship between two or more people that
commit to a common goal or future.

The role of the client is to be willing to change their approach to business
and be open to reinventing themselves and their current belief system.
The client must be committed not only to change, but to learning and growing.

The role of the coach is to discover what the client is passionate about in
their business and personal life. At times the Coach will intervene when he/she
sees the client drifting or losing focus on their goals. The Coach always
STANDS in The future that the client wants to create and is totally committed
to the CLIENT’S success.

Business Coaching is a powerful solution for organizations that want to
have breakthroughs in areas where they have previously been stuck or
experienced unsatisfactory results.

To make it work, the client must want it to work. The client must be coachable.

Are you coachable AND will you be coachable?

Let’s look at the four types of “Coachable” people.

Not Coachable

•    The person who ONLY takes action from their own
voice in their head to the exclusion of the coach’s voice.

Selectively Coachable

•    The person who ONLY takes action when they AGREE
with the Coach.

Reluctantly Coachable

•    The person who takes action with the Coach
while simultaneously living with DOUBT or DISTRUST.

Completely Coachable

•    The person who takes action with what the coach has him
do and COMPLETELY trusts that his Coach has his best
interest at heart. (This is where magic happens!)

Which one best describes YOU?  If you really want to grow your
business, have more time and make more money and IF you will
be coachable, business coaching can be your competitive advantage.

If you would like to learn more, please feel free to visit us at
Frankel Coaching Group. Success in business will come when your
team is all showing up on the same court. It all begins with YOU –
the committed leader. Find an accountability partner and take your
game to the next level.

To your greater success,

Cris

My name is Cris Frankel, Founder & CEO of Frankel Coaching Group. Thanks for checking out our blog.

For almost three decades now I’ve had the opportunity to work with Business Owners, CEO’s, Senior Executives and Entrepreneurs to create high performance teams and winning cultures. I’ve made coaching my life’s work in the areas of new business development, sales training, marketing, teambuilding and leadership development. 

Whether in a start up environment, The Fortune 500 Arena, Retail Chain Store Expansion or a National Franchise Launch, I am most effective and fulfilled coaching leaders that want to take their business to the next level.

Just like a sports coach guides players to victory with a winning game plan, a Business Coach guides business owners and Executives to an improved and more profitable business.

Today’s current environment of increased global competition, rapid technological advances and worldwide economic challenges have upset many of the old rules and made a dysfunctional executive team a significant strategic liability.

As certified business coaches we provide powerful solutions for organizations that want to have breakthroughs in areas where they have previously been stuck or experienced unsatisfactory results. For over twenty years, our methodology has successfully served over 500 organizations representing more than 60 different industries. 

Only a few short years ago, just a small percentage of businesses had the insight and commitment to success to seek out the services of a legitimate business coach. Some well-known examples are Jack Welch of General Electric, Andy Grove of Intel, Roger Enrico of PepsiCo and Leonard Lauder of Estee Lauder. These and other leaders like them had a vision of building leading organizations and knew that coaching was the essential ingredient.

Whether in sports, the performing arts or business, there is always another level, always another mountain to climb, unless of course you want to be just another “me too” competitor, existing in the land of ordinary.

Today, nearly 60% of all small to medium size businesses work with a business coach. 

We believe, especially in the current economy, the ultimate competitive advantage of your organization comes down to a single imperative – your ability to grow and develop leaders faster than your competition!

Sure, we all have to cut costs, be conscious of every dollar, but as Sears Chairman Arthur Hernandez has pointed out, “You can’t shrink your way to greatness!”

A business coach may very well be one of the most cost efficient business investment you ever make – especially now! Done correctly, the result will help ensure that your company’s culture is based on inspiring people to realize an extraordinary future they can passionately engage in. Coaching is about inspiring, empowering, enabling people to live deeply in the future, while acting boldly in the present. 

A seasoned business coach will offer new insights and strategies that will dynamically improve the overall integrity of the business, improving your “bottom line” profits.

A coach is a partner trained in accountability — a person who wants you to win. They see what you don’t. They believe when you can’t. They push you to your fullest extent when you think you can’t give anymore. When you are ready to give up, they are there to hold you to the vision and passion you had for your business goals and dreams once before!
