What is Business Coaching

If you are a small to medium-sized business or organisation, chances are at some point in the journey you have been the marketing manager, accountant, sales manager, relationship manager, supply chain and operations manager, with an endless list of hats being worn. You do this because it is your own business, you are passionate about making it all happen with minimal overheads to ensure the future growth, success, and sustainability of the organisation.
To support you on this growth journey, a business coach guides you and keeps you focused, accountable and on track to achieving your goals. Without the coach being immersed in the day to day running of the business or organisation, they take a birds-eye view of the organisation to support you in navigating through challenges, finding new opportunities and creating growth with impact and purpose that aligns to your values and what’s important to your life.
Your strategic goals and objectives may be…
• To create 20% year on year growth
• Structure the business for an exit strategy
• Build an organisational structure that allows you to travel the world and spend more time with your family
• To build a business that also supports marginalized communities
• To be the number 1 exporter of a particular product
• To design 3 new profitable products for International market export
Catherine and the team at THiNK Business Coaching support you to identify the key strategic goals over a 3 year, 12 months and 3 month period, whatever they may be to keep you fulfilled, happy and filled with purpose.
A question we would love for you to answer – would a professional rugby team set their sights on the World Cup without a coach or would a professional basketball team want to win the grand slam title without a basketball coach?
Having a business coach is no different. They guide, challenge your thinking, support you to navigate some of the challenges but ultimately they are not on the field playing the game, just ensuring that you are the best version of yourself to lead your organisation to reach its strategic goals.
