Is Leadership Coaching worth it?

Before we start, it’s fair to say that it’s going to be worth it for you. You’re reading this because you are obviously hungry to be better and curious as to how a coach can help you. Therefore you are the perfect kind of person to benefit and excel in leadership coaching. Every time I work with a client they always say, “ I wish I had done this years ago”, every time! This is no coincidence, most people only succeed with the help of others; you couldn’t succeed without employees or customers and you are unlikely to achieve consistent success without the help from an experienced business advisor. With someone on your side, you can accelerate your business growth and learn from the mistakes of others gone before you. Don’t do it alone – the answers are already there.

Pause for a moment. What’s the alternative?

Everything stays exactly the same! You try to make changes to your team but they don’t quite hit the mark. You try to bring your team together but are still seeing some divisions or people lacking a clear vision. You read some blogs or books on leadership development but struggle to transfer these universal ideas into practice. It’s affecting productivity, which affects profit and it’s affecting you enough to search for a better way. Leadership Coaching can help you have both an immediate impact and to drive long-term change for you and your team. It can expedite business growth, create happier more engaged workforces and challenge you to be the best leader you can be. The hardest part is taking that first step and finding a business coach that’s right for you. You can ask around for referrals and search on the internet, but ultimately it’s about connecting with that person and their message. Let your instincts be your guide.

It’s time for a confronting question

What is more important to you?

1. to keep your ego in shape and be able to say I did it by myself?
OR
2. achieving the dream of ongoing high profits and freedom enabling you to live the life that you have always wanted?

I’m not saying you’re letting ego get in the way, but often once you dig down there is a small element of ego and the best leaders worldwide are those that can separate thoughts coming from ego and think more about the overarching vision. That’s why one of my favourite phrases with clients is

‘Give up the need to be right and focus on results’

That phrase rings true when choosing a coach too, focus on the results you can achieve with a coach.

I know what’s holding you back

If you’re questioning the investment, I can unequivocally say each and every client I have worked with who have implemented my principles and systems has reaped massive returns – with many adding millions to their profits and turnovers and even average companies being catapulted to the top of their industries. Following this proven approach delivers results, far greater than the return-on-investment (ROI). These results are reflected industry wide with a recent global survey by PriceWaterhouseCoopers and the Association Resource Centre finding that the mean ROI in coaching was 7 times the initial investment, and over a quarter of coaching clients reported an ROI of 10 to 49 times the cost.

Applying These Principles to Your Business

Over the past 30 years I’ve worked with more than 125 companies and 45,000 business owners, leaders and sales professionals across Australia.

Many of these organisations have gone on to become leaders in their industries, building strong teams, improving profitability and creating businesses that no longer depend entirely on the owner.

For business owners who are serious about building an outstanding organisation while creating greater personal freedom, I occasionally accept a small number of new advisory clients each year.
