A problem shared is a problem halved.
Business
owners frequently feel isolated, lonely and stuck due to sometimes
having a limited network and peer group, and are unable to share
experiences with people who can understand and at the same time offer
solutions. The coaching club was set up with exactly that in mind - to
help you to find solutions to your problems and at the same time grow
your business.
It is based on the 'Masterminding principle' where two or more
individuals get together to accomplish a goal, activity or result. Large
established businesses already recognize the value of coaching as
being a longstanding and powerful motivational tool; SEE's intention
was to create a supportive group where local business owners, each with
the potential to grow, could meet regularly to share problems and
experiences, set specific goals and be accountable to each other. The
initial Coaching Club programme (put together by Morton Patterson) took place over 4 months, during the
summer with fortnightly sessions on average lasting 2 hours and a
maximum of 7 participants per group.
How joining the coaching club can help you?
- Increased confidence and clarity about your business
- You get the benefit of differing perspectives, input and feedback.
- The opportunity to build your network and access connections that you might not have on your own.
- A sense of accountability and inspiration from the group
- Greater focus towards achieving your goals.
- Find solutions to problems that may have been unresolved for some time
A recent participant was quoted as saying, "For me the
coaching club has been really helpful not just with the business but
with my personal development too. When you work for yourself and at home
it can get a bit lonely and you can lose perspective. The coaching club
has provided me an opportunity to discuss issues with other people... I
have already learned so much and grown as a person. It is invaluable."
