About Business Coaching

Whether you are just starting up or improving your established business, I will work with you to clarify your vision, identify your strengths, and areas for growth. I will guide you to develop and use your critical judgement and honestly evaluate what is and is not working.

I will be your navigator.

As your business coach and consultant, I will be your navigator. I am an objective and skilled partner whose only purpose is your success. My style is straightforward and pragmatic. My focus is to develop your potential as an effective business leader.

I will encourage and challenge you.

We will meet and have a focused conversation; I will ask questions so that you will learn more about yourself and I will learn about you. Through active listening, together we will clarify where you are stuck and where you want to be. 

Owning a business requires you to tap into your potential so you can successfully provide services and products to your customers. If you have an established company, we will meet to evaluate the processes in your company that require special attention. You will have a customized coaching plan that will address your company’s challenges.  

As your coach or consultant, I will provide an ongoing structure for commitment and accountability – supporting you to use new skills and act on them. I will guide you to develop and use your critical judgement and honestly evaluate what is and is not working. I will challenge you to become a thoughtful decision maker. My role includes supporting you to have a realistic perspective and discuss how you will sustain your motivation through the inevitable ups and downs of business endeavors. I will empathize and recognize your achievements.

Let’s set realistic goals and recognize challenges.

I will start by asking:

  • What are your biggest challenges?

  • What results would you like to achieve?

  • What needs improving?

  • What are your biggest strengths?

Let’s start with a conversation!

About Business Coaching

A business coach is your reliable, focused and resourceful wilderness guide!   As your business coach, I will help you to develop a plan of action for your business and be your reliable and steady mentor to implement each step until it is successfully completed.  As your coach I will help you clarify and develop your purpose and the skills needed to meet your business goals.  

We will map out a plan collaboratively to get you from A to B.

Through building on your strengths, supporting the areas where you are challenged – you will attain your business goals.  I will guide and challenge you to define a path and stay on it until you have met your goals successfully. Brainstorming and motivational strategies are part of the coaching process. Sometimes limiting beliefs, fear, and self sabotage need to be addressed to help you stay on track.

A business consultant is more of an expert advisor you turn to for guidance. As your consultant, I will draw on my extensive background in business planning and strategy to help determine the direction and scalability of your business.  Depending on your needs, you will learn and develop hard and soft skills such as business planning, marketing strategies, and effective negotiation.

You will learn to be your own business analyst and you will create an action plan.  

 

I can work with you on acquiring and retaining customers, pricing, sales, marketing plans and implementation, and developing sustainable and successful relationships with your business partners. 

There’s a lot we can do together.

  • Clarifying the direction of your business and creating a path for success.

  • Business planning

  • Marketing Planning and Strategy

  • Managing/Delegation strategies and styles with staff and clients

  • Sales Development

  • Negotiation/Buying and Selling

  • Establishing Effective Business Systems

“I’ve worked with Marty on a couple of ventures, and couldn’t have asked for a better coach and consultant. He brings a wealth of experience, a strategic, visionary mind, as well as creative, counter-intuitive advice that actually gets results. He has helped me make big leaps in my career, and he is my go-to choice for solving tough problems.”
