Gadgets, the Pandemic, Stresses, Distractions- the reasons why communication has faltered are numerous. The reality is that both Trust and Effective Communication are at all time lows. Study after study is confirming this.

Answering the Questions About Coaching-Addressing the Assumptions

Suggested Length: 45-60 Minutes

Have you ever said to yourself: "I'm an expert at what I do. Within my skillset, trade or profession I am an expert- shouldn't I know how to run a business too?" The answer is likely NOT. Don't let your ego get in the way!

Have you asked yourself any of the following questions: What does a business advisor do? How can an advisor help your business? Do I need one for my business? How do results get measured? Will a coach really make any kind of difference? Is working with a coach hard work? Will I get any value?

We’ll examine the questions to ask a potential advisor. We’ll also address some additional questions to ask yourself (around coachability and your readiness for a coach), what a coaching program is; the process and a session looks like. If you have asked yourself one or more of these questions, then this talk is for your organization or team. It can be structured to be part of a Continuing Education/Learning Session for Associations as well.

Who Is This For?:

Any Leader or Business Owner who is looking to start up, scale up or is in the process of change within their organization or business.

Transformation, It's An Inside Job

Suggested Length: 30-45 Minutes

As the famous Zig Ziglar said: "People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing – that's why we recommend it daily." Motivation, or inspiration, are words that get tossed around plenty. Have you ever attended a conference or seminar? You leave full of motivation, fresh ideas and plans- only to fall back into your old habits within a few days, all of those ideas forgotten? Yes, us too!

Transformation comes from within. It's an inside, out process and when taken seriously moves one from needing to be motivated- daily, weekly or even monthly- although we do still recommend bathing regularly.

Who Should Attend:
Business Leaders, Team Leaders, Sole Proprietors, Small and Medium Sized Business Owners, Spiritual Leaders, People wanting to tap into their true potential.
