Coaching & Mentoring

How it Works

There are two approaches the first, a fluid and flexible approach, the second a structured exacting approach. Generally people will start with the latter and move to the former as they are experiencing some success.

Option 1 - FLEXIBLE MENTORING

The standard coaching program is self-directed. In our initial session we will set specific goals and plans, you will set next actions and set you next meeting with me as you require. You have unlimited access to me by email, phone, fax, regular mail, etc. We can meet in person, as well, if convenient for both of us.

I help people strategically (high level goals setting and execution thereof), and tactically (what to say at the meeting tomorrow, critiquing plans, overcoming obstacles, and so on).

Some people call me daily, some weekly, and some monthly. Some visit, others don’t. The frequency and style are decided mutually depending on the nature of the project.

Rates and fees are discussed and agreed to up front depending on your requirements.

Option 2 - GUIDED COACHING & CONSULTING PROGRAM:

Some individuals who require a more structured relationship with additional accountability for meeting their goals may qualify for Guided Coaching & Consulting. In this version of the program we choose those areas, which are of highest priority and create:

  • A detailed game plan with specific completion dates, and
  • Formal, scheduled contact times to discuss accomplishments and any obstacles preventing short-term tasks from being completed. I will enforce completion dates and task accomplishment.

Ask people who are thriving in todays economy to name the top things that helped them succeed and they will probably list the following. So this is what we cover off;

  1. Finding, hiring, and managing “super-great” people
  2. Embracing change and moving quickly
  3. Understanding and excelling at business development and at making deals with other companies
  4. Prioritising tasks in a job that changes every day
  5. Marketing & Selling - to people, to businesses, and to markets

Other skills covered include life balance for the long term, obtaining capital and other sources of funds, being creative, and understanding the impact of new technologies

 

A passion for fitness and health led Trent into starting his own Personal Training Business. Trent was becoming increasingly overwhelmed with working so much (early mornings and late nights). Trent was considering wrapping up the business.

“ I increased my sessions from 60 per week to 90 in 4 months. I work a day less than I was and I am making more money!”

The Guided Program provides for “externally enforced” discipline, in that you are accountable for specific completion activities on certain dates for which I follow-up with you.

The Guided Program is recommended for those at any level of their career who feel the need for increased structure, whose intellectual curiosity and talent cause them to wander from task to task prior to completion, and who require more urgency in creating results.
