“How to Use A Strategic Thinking Approach to Confirm That NOW is the Time For You to Engage and Benefit from a Business Coach ”
By J. Glenn Ebersole, Jr., Founder & Chief Executive of J. G. Ebersole Associates and The Renaissance Group ™

Many people are wondering how they can know if they truly need a business coach and if they need that business coach now, rather than later. People want assurance and confirmation that they first need a business coach and second that they need the business coach now, not later. With that in mind, I tried to develop a strategic thinking approach to answer that question. Here are 10 questions I suggest you ask yourself to determine if NOW, that means today, not tomorrow, is the time for you to engage a business coach.

1. do you want to establish a clear vision of your business?
2. do you want to manage your time more effectively?
3. do you want to learn how to think and act strategically?
4. do you want to create clear business goals & objectives?
5. do you want to develop effective business systems?
6. do you want to learn how to communicate more effectively?
7. do you want to learn how to market yourself and your products/services more effectively?
8. do you want to maximize your potential as a leader?
9. do you want to have the benefit of an independent and experienced business professional in an open and trusting confidential client-coach relationship that will hold you accountable?
10. do you want to experience growth in your business and on a personal level?

My experience leads me to believe that you did honestly answer YES to at least one and probably many of these questions. In more than 24 years of experience in my own strategic thinking consultancy I have learned that many people go into business being good at what they do but not knowing how to run a business. Eventually, and I am saying that means NOW, business owners and leaders have to face up to and admit to the need to take control of managing and growing their business. And the way to do that is to engage and work with a business coach.

The coaching process involves the person being coached to work on finding solutions to their problems and to finding ways to capitalize on their opportunities with the coach acting as a skillful guide and facilitator. Through questioning and challenging the person, the coach will guide the individual into defining and developing solid realistic action plans. And the coach will hold the individual accountable to those action plans.
