What
is small business coaching?
by Stan Mann, a Michigan coach serving Detroit area in person and worldwide by telephone
Business Coaching is a new profession
Coaching honors you as the expert in your personal and/or professional life and believes that you are creative, resourceful, and whole. Standing on this foundation, the coach's responsibility is to:
- Discover, clarify, and align with what you want to achieve
- Encourage your self-discovery
- Elicit self-generated solutions and strategies
- Hold you as responsible and accountable
Professional Coaching is an ongoing partnership that helps you produce fulfilling results in your personal and professional life. Through the process of coaching, you deepen your learning, improve your performance, and enhance your quality of life.
In each meeting, you choose the focus of conversation, while the coach listens and contributes observations and questions. This interaction creates clarity and moves you into action.
Coaching accelerates your progress by providing greater focus and awareness of choice. Coaching concentrates on where you are today and what you are willing to do to get where you want to be tomorrow.
Coaches do the following:
Our small business coaches teach you what you need to know exactly when you need it, help you understand yourself and those you deal with so that you have maximum influence, and help you change your surroundings so that you are inspired rather than hindered by people and things around you.
- Provide structure, tools and support so you achieve more
- Help you set better goals and then reach those goals
- Encourage you to do more than they would have done on their own
- Quickly produce results by having you focus more clearly

We will help you attain your ambitions and dreams in life
- a better career, probably more money
- a healthier, more fit body
- warmer, more intimate relationships.
- a life that is just the way you want it to be
We will help you get focused and produce faster.
How Is What You Do Different From Consulting? Therapy? Sports Coaching? A Best Friend?
Consulting. Coaching is a form of consulting. But, unlike a consultant, We stay at your side to teach you new skills, inspire changes and implement your goals so good things really happen.
Therapy. Coaching is not therapy. You are an emotionally whole person, already successful who wants to succeed even more and be way above average. Coaching focuses on the present and future, therapy on the past.
Sports Coaching. Coaching includes several principles from sports coaching, like teamwork, going for the goal, being your best. But unlike sports coaching, most professional coaching is not competition or win/lose based. We strengthen your skills instead of helping you to beat the other team.It's win/win.
Best friend. A best friend is wonderful to have. But is your best friend a professional who has the training and skills needed to properly to advise you on the most important aspects of your life and/or business? Have a best friend and a coach.
What IsYour Basic Philosophy Of Coaching?
That you are in a league of your own and different from the crowd simply because you are investing the time and energy in finding ways to become even better than you already are. We believe you already have all the inner resources you need to become great-and We have the tools to help you trigger those resources so that you can get what you want faster and easier.

Why Is Coaching Becoming So Popular?
Thomas J. Leonard explains it best: "Coaching is becoming popular for several reasons:
1. Many people are tired of doing what they think they "should" do and are ready to do something special and meaningful for the rest of their lives. One problem is that many can't see what this is or, if they can, they can't find a way to reorient their life around it. A coach can help them do both.
2. People are realizing how simple it can be to accomplish something that several years ago might have felt out of reach or like a pipedream. A coach is not a miracle worker (well, sometimes they are), but a coach does have a large tool kit to help the Big Wedea become a Reality. Fortunately, people now have time and resources to invest in themselves in this kind of growth.
3. Spirituality. If you tracked the phenomenal success of James Redfield's Celestine Prophecy on the NY Times best-seller list back in 1994, you got a sense of just how many people are willing to look at, and consider, the notion of spirituality. Wow. Many coaches are spiritually based -- even the ones who coach WeBM and AT&T. America is growing more spiritual very quickly. (Our working definition of spirituality? "How connected you are with yourself and others.") The coach helps the clients to tune in better to themselves and to others.
