Which approach will give me the greatest return on my investment?

If you need a coach but don't know where to start, we offer 30 minute complimentary telephone consultations on Monday mornings. To schedule time for yours, call the office at (847) 968-2468 or email Dave Ferguson at  D.Ferguson@TheGrowthCoach.com. Our clients invest between $200 and $600 a month in coaching individually tailored to their needs and goals. No long-term commitments are required to get the immediate benefits, but we recommend committing to three sessions because it takes time to implement the changes that lead to real results.

The Strategic Mindset® Program for Business Owners and Professionals

Full-day quarterly workshops in a group setting over the course of two years provide an opportunity to develop your skills, increase your focus, grow your business and balance your life. If, like many entrepreneurs, you have been able to successfully grow your business but now  realize there's much more to owning a business than you thought, then this is the opportunity to join other owners with the same frustrations and start working on making your business results meet your expectations. We will cover setting and managing priorities, sales and marketing, managing employees, leadership, and documenting operations. We will open your eyes, stimulate your thinking, and re-energize your spirit. The moneyback guarantee means you can experience the benefits without the risk.

The Strategic Mindset® Program for Managers

With an approach similar to the program for Owners, this one year program of quarterly workshops for managers within an organization brings the same focus and intensity while recognizing that managers must operate effectively and efficiently within the organization. 

Individual Coaching, In Person Or By Phone

For people with an immediate need or goals that aren't being realized, individual coaching is a flexible approach. Together we determine how often to meet and what to work on.  We can meet face to face if you are within a half-hour drive or talk by phone.

Some clients want to talk at least once a week to focus on current issues and be held accountable for results. A 30 minute time slot is set aside on the same day each week for these phone-in sessions. We'll talk about what you've accomplished in the past week, examine the current challenges and develop strategies that will help you to make significant progress toward your goals. People who travel frequently, are located at a distance, or have schedules that are difficult to predict have found this approach to be effective.

For those in the corporate world we also offer shadow coaching. As the name implies, we're at your side to offer instant situational feedback and mentoring in realtime, enhancing your awareness and elevating your performance.

MasterMind Groups

MasterMind Groups are designed for business owners and professionals who want to help, and be helped by, people they respect. Your own personal Board of Advisors, groups are composed of 8 to 12 people from non-competing businesses who meet monthly over lunch or breakfast for approximately two hours to energize, challenge, advise, strategize and hold each other accountable.  We facilitate the groups, handle the logistics and guide the selection of members so as to create groups that can work well and prosper together.  Because of the nature of the discussions, we require a commitment to participation and confidentiality.

Customized Group Programs

These programs are developed to meet the unique needs of specific groups. Whether it is a strategic planning retreat for a group of partners, or sales coaching for a department or the consultants in a network marketing organization, or an entertaining team-building event for a group of employees, we structure the program to recognize the needs of the individuals and the goals of the organization.

The Jump-Start Program

Specifically designed for those who feel their train is derailed, those who feel completely overwhelmed with the startup phase of their business, or those who just want to hit the ground running, we will work together over a short period of time to get you on the path to success for a total fee of $500.

We will meet four times over a two month period. Our first meeting will be 90 minutes of evaluation and goal setting. During the session we will decide if it makes sense to work together. If we agree to continue, a payment of $300 will be required. We will meet one week later for an hour to determine what's working and what's not and focus on implementation. The balance of $200 will be due at this meeting.Two weeks after that we will meet for an hour to evaluate progress and refine the approach. Finally, a month later, we will take a fresh look at the goals, opportunities and obstacles. We will focus on increasing the pace of change by leveraging your skills and talents to take advantage of the opportunities we have uncovered.
