The Process of Being Coached

Entrepreneurs and small business owners want to know what business coaching really "looks like". Unlike a management consultant, we do not tell you what to change with your business. Certainly, in the course of assessment, we may make observations about improvements and have ideas for possible improvements, but our main objective is to find out what you need for improved success. You define what is - we help you do it. This generally means assisting you identify your areas of strengths and weakness. We support you as you develop in the areas that are defined - by you - as areas for improvement.

We help you during your initial consultation to articulate you goals as well as your needs for support. We will assess you with some tests and questionnaires to understand your "personality type". The assessment process is key to our intervention strategy. We'll also interview you about your self-observations- what motivates you and what holds you back. After our assessment consultation will tell you genuinely if our team can help with your needs.

Once personal and business needs have been defined, we'll talk about your work and home environment. We'll arrange for a time to visit at your site (if geographically possible) for our next meeting. Also you'll have the benefit of working with one identified person at CenterGround. You will not be bounced around to a person who is unfamiliar with you or your business.

We contract with businesses on a three month basis. Each month we will meet with you for three hour-long meetings (telephonically or in person). We will also check in with you weekly by email. We are also available for consultations between meetings should there be an issue or need you have that you would like to discuss.

We have a money back guarantee with all of our work. If you are not satisfied with our work we will return your money. Our best business referrals are from word of mouth. We want you to be pleased with your investment with CenterGround and tell others about how we helped you get ahead.
