Business
Not everyone may be aware of it but the importance of business coaching cannot be overstated. Author Andrea Schlapia provided a clear insight into the value business coaches provide when she wrote “business coaches support professionals who desire major and comprehensive improvements in all aspects of their firm. Collaboration with a coach encourages breakthroughs in change, helps manage evolution, and supports the implementation of desired outcomes.” To further explore the key role business coaches play in the success of any business, I talked to my first business coach, John Nieuwenburg. John is an award-winning professional business coach, TEDx speaker, and overall nice guy. John has been a professional business coach since 2004. To date, he has coached hundreds of clients and was awarded Canada’s CEO Trusted Advisor Award by MacKay CEO Forums in 2019. In this episode, John candidly answered some of the questions most people have about entrepreneurship and coaching—how you can hold yourself accountable, his advice for those who want to scale their business, and the common misconceptions people have about delegation. My hope is you’ll get as much value as I have from today’s episode, so please don’t miss it!
