What is Business Coaching?
Business Coaching is regular, one-to-one support in which a certified coach helps a business owner set goals, build systems and execute with discipline. Unlike a course or one-off consulting, the coach follows execution week after week until results appear.
Which companies is ActionCOACH coaching for?
For owners of small and medium-sized businesses, mainly with 5 to 50 employees, who want profitable, predictable growth and to stop being the centre of every decision.
How long does it take to see results?
ActionCOACH offers a 17-week results guarantee: if you complete the agreed tasks and attend the sessions, events and workshops, you recover your coaching investment and reach the results agreed at the start. Otherwise coaching continues free of charge until you do.
How much does Business Coaching cost?
The investment depends on the program and the stage of the business. The first step is the Free Analysis of about 60 minutes, where the coach understands your goals and proposes the right format, with no commitment.
What is the difference between coaching and consulting?
A consultant delivers a diagnosis or a plan. A business coach builds the plan with you and follows execution every week, with KPIs and commitments, until the team and systems work without depending on you.
How does the Free Analysis work?
It is a conversation of about 60 minutes with a certified ActionCOACH. It starts with your personal goals, moves to the business goals and ends by identifying your biggest lever and the first concrete step.
What is the ActionCOACH Method?
It is a 6-step system, proven for over 30 years: Foundations, Positioning, Systems, Team, Multiplication and Freedom. Each step removes a typical growth blocker, from initial chaos to a business that runs without its owner.
