What types of organizations have your worked with in the past?
I have worked with numerous types of clients varying from personal coaching, executive coaching, small business owners, start-ups, nonprofits, large corporations. My heart is to serve and bring strength where I can, partnering with you where you are at to help you get to where you want to go.
I have felt overwhelmed with numerous tasks. I don’t even know where to start. What should I expect in the beginning stages of a working relationship?
After our initial call and choosing your customized package, we will engage in a contract, start with a personal and/or organizational assessment(s). We will begin to clearly define the needs/pain points, collaborate on the best approach/action steps and execute that plan in accordance with our designated timeline. Collaboration and communication is key - we are in this together!
What if I am not in agreement with the recommendations and action steps?
We will approach each step/project together. I am committed to partner with you, not run ahead of you and drag you behind. I will help create boundaries and healthy communication, while challenging the status quo. We will be having several discussions that revolve around mission, vision, core values, belief systems, business development, ROI, internal systems, conflict resolution, creating culture, etc. Recommendations are simply that. We will decide together what the best approach is and develop the best plan, with the best approach, for the best value to maximize your results.
What are some initial questions that I should address before launching my own business?
This is a loaded question(s) and should be addressed thoroughly to meet your particular needs and future goals. I prefer to discuss these details in person if possible and discuss the macro - while beginning to dig into the micro - it’s all connected. It’s important to dig deep and uncover questions within the questions (so to speak). Here is a great online blog from Forbes: “25 Frequently Asked Questions on Starting A Business”
I am realizing that I am needing to address some personal concerns prior to focusing on my business development. Do you only work with clients focusing on their businesses?
No, I work with clients both personally and professionally. With the clients permission, more often than not, I start with the personal aspects/concerns prior to engaging in the professional. I prefer to address concerns in a holistic approach, uncovering roots issues/belief systems, habits/behaviors that hold us back, etc. I will either work with you one on one, provide resources/tools for personal development, make recommendations, refer you to additional professionals for varying support, etc. We will collaborate together on the best approach to obtain the greatest impact.
