Business Growth
I will work with you to analyze what’s working and what’s preventing your business from growing. From there, we’ll co-develop a strategy to help you get unstuck and on the path to success.
Core Values
When you choose to work with us, you are not only getting highly qualified expertise, but a firm which embodies the following values for our clients:
Integrity
We believe it’s vital for every client to know they are getting a trustworthy, honest, and authentic coach who will do what’s right for them. We will not misrepresent ourselves, will treat client information confidentially, and exhibit the highest ethical standards.
Safe Spaces
We will take the lead in creating a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to share, be heard, and make progress. At the same time, we will extend empathy and compassion for each client while respecting their boundaries. We will continually stay attuned to ways we can best assist our clients.
Positive Progress
It is important to us for each client to leave their coaching session feeling better than when they came in. We will hold ourselves accountable to coaching agreements and help our clients celebrate wins.
Responsiveness
Clients and potential clients are not always in control of when they will need help. Out goal is to respond to all communications within 24 hours or less during normal business hours. We will keep our commitments or communicate why a particular commitment cannot be held, setting new expectations accordingly.
Professionalism
Each of our clients can expect they will be treated with the utmost respect and professionalism regardless of background or circumstances. We will arrive on time for appointments, keep our language respectful, stay engaged in the coaching experience, and dress appropriately for all client engagements.
