How much value do Business Coaches add to your Business? The world of ‘Business Coaches’ has seen a massive explosion over recent years. But what value does a Business Coach bring to yourself and your organisation. Promises of massive bottom line improvements and all your dreams coming true – is it too good to be true? What do Business Coaches do that Business Managers don’t? Background KeyLine Coaching and Consultancy It is perhaps helpful to start by looking back at the development of businesses over the past thirty years, during which time the computer has revolutionised the way we live and perform business. The power of analysing data has given unprecedented insight into customer activity and global efficiencies but the cost of gathering this information has meant that Systems and Processes have defined and taken over how our businesses operate. Scripts lead us through scenarios with flowcharted questions and validation controls define our results all of which, over time, have eroded our initiative, lowered confidence and increased stress as we adapt into a forced way of ‘doing’. These cumulative effects have all taken their toll on our ‘Being’ and created cultural habits that adversely affect our business and life. “When personal motivation and business objectives are aligned, a collaboration is formed that can transform a mediocre business into a high performance organisation” After fifteen years in Middle and Senior Management positions for Blue Chip and other fast growing organizations, Robert created KeyLine Coaching in 2006 having recognised and experienced first hand how a changing business ethos and increasing workrelated stress levels have a detrimental effect upon both the lives of individuals and on an organization's productivity and success, KeyLine Coaching now assists individuals and SME businesses break through these barriers and challenges by developing an understanding of our own unique design and what we want to achieve, and then enrich and widen our vision to create new possibilities. Where required KeyLine Consultancy can supplement the work of coaching through interim financial management and the development of performance indicators and dashboards to identify key areas of business success control. For further information on our services please contact Robert Broughton on 07730 059 634 or email Robert@KeyLineCoaching.com. As computer systems have become increasingly complex, providing greater system and process agility, we find ourselves in a situation where these cultural habits need to be reversed to more fully engage individuals in developing reciprocal relationships and in maximising the potential of our businesses. The opening up and alignment of personal motivation with business objectives will become the difference between the mediocre and the high performance organisation. This, coupled with organisations facing uncertain times, compromised goals and reducing capital expenditure places a greater performance and contribution expectation upon the individual over the coming decade.
