business coaching
Working with an executive coach offers benefits few other resources can. Signing on with an executive coach translates into meeting regularly with a professional whose only job is to offer you feedback, insights, and recommendations. Allowing you to benefit from a viewpoint based on their experience as well as the experiences of other leaders who have overcome many of the same challenges you face. An E.C. can deliver what employees and peers cannot, serving as a sounding board and when required confronting or correct you without fear.
Let’s talk return on Investment
You can find Dozens of studies showing the financial benefits of a good coaching relationship. I will point out two.
Manchester Inc. surveyed 100 executives and found that coaching provided an average ROI of almost six times the cost of the coaching. The Personnel Management Association produced an internal report that showed that when training is combined with coaching, individuals increase their productivity by an average of 86% compared to 22% with training alone.

Business Coaching Services:
Scope Assessment
Programs begin with a free assessment session that may include a conversation about goals and personal professional history.
We will define communication strengths and needs and decide together a plan for moving forward.
Action Plan
Following an initial assessment, the coach works to set goals and create a customized action plan. This plan becomes the roadmap for leaders to develop. The plan designed may require weekly one-hour coaching sessions or may best be served by meeting once a month for a 3-hour session. Plans will vary and together coach and client will define the best plan to meet the desired goals; work together; work in real-time on projects such as meetings, presentations, conferences, and appearances. Sessions are scheduled one to three months in advance so that clients can set aside the time and make it a priority. The coach will be available for extra sessions whenever there is a major event or if a concern arises.
Frequently homework may include a materials purchase recommendation (book, journal...) Germaine Life does not sell materials or benefit financially from the sale of any recommended materials.
