With an abundance of resources now available online and elsewhere, finding a business coach has never been easier. With a few taps, a business owner should be able to find their impartial friend; accountability partner and sounding board. However, finding the right coach for you and your business is a little more challenging. So, who is the Best Business Coach near me?
Key Qualities of a Business Coach
So, what key qualities should you look for in the coach who will guide and challenge your business decisions so as to get you and your business to The Next Level?
Experience and skill set
Study the background of your proposed coaches. Shortlist the ones who have a wide range of business experience. Look for a coach who is comfortable talking to you about all business topics. These topics should include strategy and future plans, new market sectors, innovation, time management, team, delivery, and financial control.
Greater understanding of SME’s
Look for someone who held senior management roles within a large corporation. Another option is someone who has ran their own business and understands the challenges faced by entrepreneurs face every day.
Critical and Analytical
A great business coach helps entrepreneurs improve their business management. They guide them to overcome obstacles. This is THE reason why you should engage with a coach who has strong analytical skills and good judgment. Your coach should be able to cast a critical eye on how you do things and highlight your strengths and areas for improvement. The impartial friend.
They desire success for you
The best coaches are people who are genuinely interested in seeing you succeed. Your prospective coach should be asking you questions about your business instead of talking about themselves, unless you invite them to.
Subtlty, Courage and Confidence
You want your coaching journey to be successful? Then your coach needs to have the courage to tell you to go for Option B, when everyone else including you, is saying Option A.
A coach who always agrees with you won’t push you forward. The best coaches choose the right time and the right way to tell you uncomfortable truths to help you make the best decisions.
How Do I Chose My Coach?
You should always ask targeted questions of any prospective business coach. This will help you understand if they have the desire, experience and drive to help you take your business to the Next Level.
