What exactly does a Scaling Up Coach do?
It’s Time to Grow
You’ve reached a point in your business where it’s time to focus on some serious growth. You’ve tried a few things, but gotten stalled or distracted. You have a million ideas, but no time to execute them. Or perhaps you’re feeling like your leadership team is not up to the challenge and you can’t move forward without some solidarity. Scaling a business can feel much like climbing a mountain - scary, exhausting, and full of unknown obstacles.
This is precisely where a certified Scaling Up Coach can come along side you and act as your expert guide. Using the most effective tools and evidence-based best practices, a coach’s most important job is to ask the right questions. By asking key questions and holding a leadership team accountable, he or she can help you unlock the potential of your company. And not in a cookie cutter prescribed way, but with a diagnostic and customized approach that addresses your specific needs and goals.
Your Scaling Up Coach becomes a trusted confidante and part of your team by providing you with a peer-to-peer sounding board. Leading a company can often feel lonely. You may also feel plagued with the fear of failure, and the fear of letting your team down. As entrepreneurs themselves, our coaches have personal experience with all of these emotions and concerns, and they are ready to share their knowledge in actionable ways.
