Why Coaching?

Coaching with Jo will help you focus on what's most important, instead of what's most urgent, to achieve professional success and live a fuller, richer life along the way.  A powerful coaching relationship can help you achieve breakthrough success. 

What is Coaching?

Coaching is a partnership between coach and client, based on trust and commitment, to help clients achieve their goals.  The first step in goal achievement is to create powerful goals.  The second is to develop a plan to achieve your goals and the third is to implement your plan for success.  Jo can help you do all three for unstoppable results.

What is the Role of the Coach?

Jo is a business partner and confidant to her clients.  She questions, probes, challenges and encourages, in addition to providing information, insights and advice.  She is confident in her clients' ability to achieve stretch goals and holds them accountable for their progress.  Jo helps her clients develop and implement new strategies for personal and professional success.

What are Common Areas of Coaching Focus?

Jo and her clients most frequently focus their work together on one or more of the following areas to achieve the results her clients want:  

• Business Development
• Client Relations
• Internal Communications and Collaboration
• Practice Management
• Time Management
• And More

Individual Coaching for Private Clients

Jo helps her clients live fuller personal and professional lives, while simultaneously contributing more to the success of their firms.  The secret?  She helps them align their own talents, interests - even passions - with the needs, strategies, and best interests of the firm.

"When one owns and runs a company, it is difficult to have some conversations within the organization.  It just plain requires going outside to someone that can help with business issues in a totally objective manner.  I certainly have found that resource in you."  - Chief Executive
"Our work together was invaluable.  You helped me break through the fear of what I'm not and focus on what I am."  -Attorney
"You have the heart of a lion."  -Vice President of Sales
". . . unfailing support and focus."

Team Coaching for Small Firms, Practice Groups or Functional Teams

Team coaching is most beneficial when members are working on joint goals and/or compatible individual goals.  For example, we often work with practice groups to develop and implement both group and personal business development plans.  As in the group coaching described above, teams benefit from group dynamics:  more people, more input, more collaboration.  Your team might benefit from training or consulting prior to team coaching.  See Business Development Training, Management Training, Mentoring Training, or Strategic Planning for additional information.
