Prospective clients looking for a coach often ask me what my specialty or area of focus is. Any top Scaling Up coach worth his or her salt should be an expert in all of the Four Decisions: People, Strategy, Execution, and Cash. All of these factors drive results. The key to selecting a coach is to look at the results your business will garner from the Scaling Up process and how the coach specifically implements, and not an individual coach’s personality, gender, etc. I work with successful client-companies from around the globe, with a focus on North America. Most of you seek coaching because you need the entire team (People) to catch up with you, the CEO, to better deliver on Strategy and Execution, which in turn drives Growth and Cash.
If for some reason my client roster is too full to coach your business, or my direct and accountable approach to A Players and bottom-line results does not appeal to you, here are several other top Scaling Up coaches from around the world I can recommend based on firsthand experience of their expertise, reputation, and character.
