Coaching for Clarity

What if you are running your own company - working all hours while all around you seems to be falling apart and still the work keeps piling up... ring true?

How are you supposed to see where your company is going in that situation? Or keep your eyes on the big picture? You�ve become so focused on all the details that your vision has become a blurry mess. This is where business coaching or mentoring comes in, says KJ Associates.

Katie Jones specialises in coaching business owners and directors when they find it difficult to see the wood for the trees. Working either on a one-to-one basis or in small group sessions, she can help you find the best way to achieve business success.

With totally impartial input, many clients find thrashing proposals and ideas out in this way highly beneficial, illuminating and refreshing.

Katie said: �Business coaching is about listening and asking questions, where the business coach acts as a sounding board. They will sit down with the clients and help them to assess their goals and recognise obstacles that stand in the way of achieving those.

�For example, you might find that you�re struggling to keep up with all the incoming items that you spend the whole day stressing out and find you can�t spare the time to see to the important matters. By identifying the problem, you and the business coach can sit down together and work out a planned strategy to get you moving and refocused.

�Perhaps you are overworked because you are poorly organised - in which case working with the coach will enable you to work out how to more effectively manage your time.

�If you have a tendency to micromanage, they can suggest ways in which to delegate work effectively. Or it may be a case of developing a business plan to provide action points for moving your business forward.�
