Coaching
Each of our clients is unique. During the initial business needs
review session, we tailor a plan together to address your most pressing concerns
and goals. While respecting your values and honoring your objectives, I will
challenge you and encourage you to make changes and achieve the results you want
in your business and in your life.
Coaching 1:1: Individual Coaching
You reach your goals
more quickly when you move beyond ideas and go into action. Coaching
provides you with the structure, focus, and accountability necessary
for building your ideal salon/day spa. Using wisdom of more than 15
years as a salon/day spa success agent, I will help you clarify and
set goals, overcome barriers, and create new opportunities for
business and personal success. My purpose as a coach is to help
create significant and sustainable positive change in your business
and your life.
Coaching 2:1: Partnership Coaching
You’ve heard the old
adage “two heads are better than one.” Well, in a salon/day spa
partnership, it’s true as long as both individuals hold the same
vision and organize themselves to work towards it. Coaching gives
partners focus, structure, and a way to hold one another
accountable. We create a forum to hold candid conversations that are
essential for a salon/day spa’s true success.
Questions clients ask about coaching
Does coaching require that I adopt a new set of
beliefs, or change everything I’m doing now?
Coaching does not require you to change anything, but you
will definitely notice a shift in the way you approach your work as
a result of coaching. It is not my intent to convince you to think
or behave like I do, or like any of my other clients do. But when
individuals are ready to make significant changes, I do everything I
can to guide them to new ways of looking at their situations so they
can achieve the goals they design for themselves. I work with
owners/managers who hold varying philosophies and embody different
styles of management/leadership. One of the first rules of coaching
is to stay with the client’s agenda. Know that I am committed to
honoring that tenet, while helping you honor your own commitment and
intention to change, grow, and develop through the coaching process.
How long does coaching last?
It varies from client to client. In some cases, two to three
months of coaching is all that is needed for a client to achieve
their goals and move forward with an action plan. Some clients stay
engaged in the coaching process for six months to a year or even
longer. The frequency of coaching sessions and the total coaching
time depends entirely on each client’s needs and the results they
are achieving.
Is it possible to measure my return on
investment if I sign up for coaching?
It is difficult to say in advance what a client will achieve.
It does not make any sense to say, “Coaching will increase your
revenues by 20%.” That may or may not even be your goal. The return
on investment is unique to each client. Early on in the coaching
process, we establish clear objectives and the criteria by which we
will gauge success. So, your individual ROI will be determined by
measuring your goals going into the coaching process against the
results you ultimately achieve. Most clients report their ROI
related to new ways of thinking, learning, and leading. The tangible
benefits—improvements in productivity, teamwork, and/or
finances—tend to be the result of new attitudes, skills, and
behaviors.
