No matter whether you own your business or are managing within a corporate organisation, if you answer YES to any one of the above, then we need to meet.
Right now, many of your competitors are facing the exact same challenges that you are. Isn’t it interesting that when an entire industry is fighting the same forces, some companies do a better job of meeting those challenges than others.
What would it mean to you and your organization if you had someone from the outside, with no affiliation to your industry, come and discuss the strategies you have in place and perhaps offer some other suggestions and support options that might help you gain a bigger edge?
I ask because in reality, to gain the edges needed, you might have to think outside the box… and gaining edges… large or small, is how you can make your organisation the organisation that’s doing the better job in your industry!
It's been our experience that, despite common belief, those who succeed in their business and their careers do so, not because of the amount of knowledge they have, but because of their insatiable need to know more!
It's also been our experience that most business owners and managers don't want to hand over the control of their business or role to get the issues they have, fixed. Instead, they want guidance and assistance to solve their problems themselves. After our 1 hour complimentary session, most come to realise the answer to their problems is complex and unique to their circumstances... one size does NOT fit all... and when they do take up coaching, they want a time-effective and affordable process.

So… why use a Coach instead of a Consultant to help you increase revenue, decrease expenses, increase efficiency / profitability and / or gain a competitive edge over your competitors… build a functional team or even get your time back ?
You need to know the answer to this because they are very different…
A consultant considers your problem, arrives at a conclusion and recommends a procedure to resolve the issue. A consultant provides professional advice and service that he or she develops. Consulting is often narrowly focused on specific issues and methods of solving issues.
Coaching can focus on specific issues, as well. Coaching often expands to encompass the broader scope of the clients' life. A coach communicates with the client primarily using questioning techniques and together, they define the clients' goals. Through the coaching and the process of client-focused self-discovery, the coach and client discover appropriate solutions and activities (ActionPLAN) to ultimately resolve the clients' issues.
In a coaching relationship, client and coach endeavour to uncover and express the client's own answers. Through coaching, a client has the opportunity to acquire new ways of looking at problems and to invent new solutions. In other words, the team of client and coach discover fresh tools that enable the client to create a better life.
Through coaching the client owns the solution, because it is through his or her own process of self-discovery that a 're-solution' is discovered. The end result, positive forward action, occurs because of the clients own reasoning assisted by the coach’s questioning and guidance. Values based goal setting and holding the client accountable throughout the process assures maximum commitment to the clients' intention.

Feb 26, 2009 – ActionCOACH, the world’s leader in business and executive coaching, hosted its Asia Pacific Regional conference at the Gold Coast International Hotel situated in Queensland’s stunning Gold Coast – Australia’s favorite holiday destination.
At the company’s annual Awards Dinner, ActionCOACH founder and CEO Brad Sugars presented several prestigious awards to the Business Coaches within the community.
From amongst finalists that included Herman Susanto (Indonesia), Marcus Kroek (Australia), Tom McIfle (Indonesia) and Warrick Bidwell (Australia), Robert McTague from New Zealand received the Coaches Choice “BrandCOACH” award.
“To be recognized by your peers and honored with an award at any time is something very special. With the economic climate the way it is, it’s up to us to find and create ways to help business owners through their time of need,” McTague said.
He also pointed out that although ActionCOACH has been in New Zealand for over 10 years now; there are still many business owners who don’t know the organization exists.
“One of the ways we are building the brand is through the ActionCOACH New Zealand Education Foundation and by being involved with the Lion Foundation Young Enterprise Scheme, which teaches Year 12 and 13 students about business,” he said. “If we can teach our future business owners the business skills needed to put alongside their technical skills, then I feel we will be able to prepare the future of the small and medium sized business fraternity in New Zealand for success.”
“Robert is working along with his team on various interesting projects to get the ActionCOACH name out there in the business community of New Zealand,” Sugars said.
McTague – along with his team will be introducing a series of “Thrive or Survive” workshops, which will run throughout 2009, covering many aspects of business from cash flow management to customer service. A ‘hands on’ workshop, McTague believes every attendee will leave with ideas and a plan of what they are going to do differently in their own business.
“It’s not all doom and gloom out there. Those who have taken the time to identify what they need to do to lift themselves out of the ‘sea of sameness’ and create a real ‘point of difference’ for themselves are doing very well,” he said. “This series of workshops is for those who are just starting the process as well as for those who want to fine tune what they already have in place.”
McTague believes that the team at ActionCOACH is dedicated to working with business owners who are open to new ideas and who are prepared to make changes to the way they have always done things.
ActionCOACH has come a long way since it first started in 1993 in a small room in a suburb of Brisbane, Australia. Today, it not only enjoys the largest share of the industry – which is touted as the second fastest growing behind IT, but continues to show robust growth even in the middle of the current recession. In January, the company experienced a 21% year-over-year growth and in a historic event, three Business Coaches banked Diamond Level earnings in a single month.
A practice development research recently revealed that companies using the services of a Business Coach can increase profit margins by an average of 46%.
“As a business owner, if you’re in a bit of a mess right now, what got you there won’t get you out,” McTague said. “You’ll have to make changes to the way you do some things before that’s going to happen.”
