As managers and business owners we are thrust into our positions through what is commonly referred to as “Promotion into Incompetence”. We move through the ranks or begin our own businesses based on our highly developed technical skills. Little thought is given to the actual (non technical) skills and mindset needed to manage people and run a business well.
If you are having difficulty with something in your life it can generally be solved by learning new skills.
Business Coaches provide you with feedback regarding what you need to do to get your business on track. A healthy business coaching relationship will provide an honest ongoing assessment of your Business Development Activities, assisting you to focus your efforts on the areas that will have the greatest long term positive impact on your business.

When evaluating a particular Business Coach, ask for several references from coaching clients past and present. Contact the references and ask them questions about their experience with the Business Coaching Organizations.

This will save you from Business Failure...
"67% of New Businesses Fail in the first 5 Years" We have all heard this statistic, or variations on it before. It's quite a scary fact when you consider the implications, especially if you have started or are about to start a new business.
Inspiring Innovation and Creativity through Business Systems
We are surrounded by systems, and our lives revolve around them and rely on them working infallibly. The cars (or motorbikes) we drive, the computers we use and the human bodies we live in, are all brilliantly refined and intricate systems that we use everyday. We expect them to work predictably and consistently every time we use them.
