Strategic Mindset® Workshop

The Growth Coach® has a unique year-round coaching and accountability process called the Strategic Mindset, designed to enhance the mindset, focus and results of entrepreneurs, franchisees, executives and self-employed professionals. Through an interactive and fast-paced workshop format, the Growth Coach helps these business owners and professionals sharpen their focus, increase their effectiveness, grow their incomes and simplify their lives. Our clients gain clarity about who they are, what they want out of their business and life, and how to go about achieving their goals.

Once a quarter, we provide a comfortable and confidential setting that our clients can consider a sanctuary from the daily hassles of their hectic business, career and personal life. This peaceful setting gives business owners and professionals the structure, discipline and time to reflect, face reality, think and plan on improving themselves and their businesses or careers. This personal, strategic retreat takes place once every 90 days and is an ideal opportunity for our clients to take a step back and see themselves and their businesses through a “big picture” and objective perspective. The Strategic Mindset® is a two-year coaching and accountability program delivered on a quarterly basis.

Strategic Mastery^SM

After two years, clients graduate to a life-long coaching and roundtable program called Strategic Mastery. The Strategic Mastery program continues the quarterly coaching process that allows our clients time to reflect and re-evaluate their thinking, behavior and goals. But in addition to these strategic time-outs, the Strategic Mastery program also includes a roundtable discussion that allows business owners and professionals to talk about common issues, challenges and achievements with other Strategic Mindset® graduates. Not only does this help our clients continue to grow in their businesses and careers, but it gives them a new opportunity to collaborate and exchange ideas with others who have gone through the same strategic-focusing and transforming process.

The Growth Coach® provides one-on-one, face-to-face coaching for clients who require additional support, follow-up and attention. Most one-on-one clients like the privacy and frequency of these individualized and customized sessions. Business owners, franchisees, executives, and self-employed professionals may often feel overwhelmed, alone, fearful and out of control. Too often, they feel uncomfortable or too vulnerable seeking support from spouses, peers, co-workers or anyone else they know.

However, they still need an outlet through which they can vent their frustrations and start to move past them. They need someone who can help them see the reality of a situation – an objective perspective – and help them determine their options and potential solutions. Our coaches will be that objective resource. They will act as a sounding board, a confidant, and a mentor – and they will help our clients clarify their situation, set goals and go about achieving them.

One-on-one coaching is typically conducted in person and, as needed, can be followed up via phone or e-mail. However, all one-on-one coaching starts with a face-to-face meeting which is the beginning of a relationship-building process. The process is tailored to meet the client's individual needs and one-on-one coaching sessions can take place once a month, twice a month, and, if you prefer, on a weekly basis. Our coaches offer hourly rates or fixed monthly retainers. Each session typically lasts from 1-2 hours.

Today, owners and executives of small businesses and large companies alike are demanding better return on their payroll dollars. They want to develop their "Good Managers Into Great Managers." Companies want managers who are productive, focused and effective; managers who act as true leaders and take charge. Developing strong managers is one of the best investments a company can make. And that’s where Growth Coach’s exclusive and proven coaching program, Strategic ManagerSM, comes in. Our guaranteed, on-going process helps turn ordinary managers into extraordinary Strategic Managers.
     
Imagine the benefit of having managers who take action to drive big results. Our Strategic Manager program develops managers who desire to take on greater responsibilities and find better ways to grow the company’s profits and improve operations and customer satisfaction. Imagine how this will impact your company’s team and bottom-line results!

Typical management training doesn’t work. One-time, quick-fix training does very little in the long-run to change the mindset and results of your managers. Most seminars aren’t effective either. Lasting and positive change only occurs when your management team engages in an on-going development and accountability process designed to help them gain a wider perspective and take action to drive superior results. Strategic Manager is a powerful, guaranteed, on-going process that produces real results and real changes in your managers. It brings out the very best in your team, transforming them from mere managers into strategic leaders. Also, since the process is delivered in a group format, it is very interactive and affordable.

We guarantee that you will see results in your management team. We promise you will see a great return on your investment. If you don’t see a noticeable change in your mangers, tell us within 30 days of the initial session and we will promptly refund your money.

Also, after one year, your managers will qualify to participate in "Strategic Mastery for Managers" - an ongoing quarterly coaching and strategic roundtable program.

Because we are gifted at facilitation and helping clients to define and achieve goals and leverage their time, talent and resources, we are often called in to help make sure business strategies and goals are fully implemented.

We help these companies and their owners hold themselves accountable and ensure critical changes are made to improve their businesses. Our solutions will help re-shape the thinking of the owner and the structure and systems of the business so that the business and the employees are productive, efficient, and, above all, effective.
