"If people are coming to work excited...

if they're making mistakes freely and fearlessly...
if they're having fun...
if they're concentrating doing things, rather than preparing reports and going to meetings,
then somewhere you have leaders."

Robert Townsend

The term Business Coaching is used to describe coaching with entrepreneurs of small and medium-sized companies, professionals with private activities or start-up companies. Coaching conversations concentrate on the development of the effectiveness of business activities and those of the entrepreneur or professional. In the last decade, one emerging theme is the generation handover in small and medium sized businesses.
Entrepreneurs and professionals are increasingly absorbed nowadays by day-to-day events, thus losing sight of the big picture, the development of their staff, the attention towards their customers, and, very importantly, the balance between their private and working life.
The business coach intervenes to help the coachee redefine his purpose, mission and objectives. Working not on what but on who, the coach helps to drive a real transition with significant steps forward.

Some strategic benefits that can be obtained with this type of coaching are:

• improvement in communication and interpersonal skills;
• development of human resources and teams and the overcoming of obstacles and conflicts;

• increase in the ability to delegate responsibilities;

• better time management;

• business development and increase in productivity;

• capacity to identify new markets and attract new business.

On the level of personal benefits:

• stress management and increase in energy;

• life/work balance;

• increase in confidence;

• removal of performance fears and anxieties.

   

Again in this case, the business coaching path can last from 4/5 months to a maximum of 9 months. Two meetings are usually held each month for sessions of up to two hours.
