Business Coaching
When I was in school studying for my business degree, I had a particularly progressive professor who stressed the importance of networking, mentoring, and coaching. She believed that career advancement and success is a lot easier to come by when a person has a solid support system to rely on.
Though I didn’t stick around the corporate world long enough to put any of my old prof’s advice to work, a number of my classmates did. I still keep in touch with a lot of them, and am not surprised to hear that business mentoring plays a large role in their careers. Almost all of my former b-school buddies have had a mentor at some point, or have used the services of a company like ActionCOACH.
I’d heard about ActionCOACH before, but had never looked into their services prior to today. I spent some time reviewing their website, and was impressed by the amount of information available. Unlike other companies that I’ve dealt with in the past, ActionCOACH spells out exactly what they can do for your business. They not only identify reasons why you need a business coach, but also show how their experts are uniquely qualified to get the job done.
Out of curiosity, I decided to try to find an ActionCOACH in my area. After just a few clicks, I found a list of seven coaches that fit the bill. Each one is located within a reasonable driving distance from where I currently work, and each has a nice biography posted on the ActionCOACH site. If I were truly in need of a coach right now, it would have been a simple matter to read through the biographies to select the expert whose business philosophy most closely resembles mine.
If you’re considering finding a business mentor or coach, you would do well to check out the ActionCOACH website today. There’s a wealth of information about the ways in which ActionCOACH can help businesses of all sizes, so I’m sure they’ve got the right coach for you!
