Coaching Approach for Entrepreneurs
Philosophy: Entrepreneurs in the direct sales industry are enterprising leaders! While building a strong financial future, they encounter challenges that demand increased resiliency and skills. Skill-based coaching provides goal setting, strategies, communication, team building and general leadership to grow the business and take control of one’s personal life. Coaching will enhance current strengths and can be used to counter weaknesses. Coaching will build motivation, confidence and focus leading to desired results. The coaching enables and energizes; clients “own” their development and its execution in their businesses and lives.
