Recent years have seen a surge of interest in business coaching, but some people hold negative perceptions towards it, viewing it as costly and ineffective. However, when done correctly, business coaching can be incredibly transformative for business growth and the business owner's personal development.
Taking the time to find the right business coach is critical. In the UK and globally, there are countless business coaches using a myriad of models and approaches. However, the Alternative Board (TAB) employs a proven method of business coaching that has transformed businesses and the lives of those who run them.
At TAB, we firmly believe that every business owner deserves to reap the rewards they want from their business. Our business coaching, combined with the other advantages of a TAB membership, assists in making that a reality. Are you tired of confronting your challenges alone? Are you ready for your business to start delivering what you want?
If so, continue reading to understand why TAB Business Coaching works and why a staggering 98.9% of our members affirm this coaching provides tangible value to their business.
All our facilitators are seasoned business professionals with a minimum of a decade’s experience as business owners or senior leaders. They stem from various backgrounds and sectors, but all share a common aspiration - to help local business owners lead better lives and operate stronger businesses. Their vast experience in practical settings equips them with the expertise to achieve this goal.
Simon Hudson of the Soapy Group shares his positive experience with his TAB coach, Elliot Rich:
"Elliot's strength lies in tailoring his approach to the needs of each individual. His advice and coaching are grounded in 25 years of directorship experience. This has earned my trust and demonstrated the value of his coaching."
Although many business coaches employ specific processes with their clients, TAB provides a flexible structure that adapts to your unique needs at any given time. As a result, your TAB coach can seamlessly transition between the roles of business coaching and consultancy, depending on what is required.
At TAB, our primary focus is you, the business owner, as an individual. We keep your pressing business challenges and potential solutions at the forefront of our coaching, sometimes leveraging our Business Builder's Blueprint – an exclusive online platform for strategic planning.
TAB's business coaching is invaluable because it is uniquely structured around you and your challenges.
TAB member, Peter Bird, shares his experience:
"The 1-2-1 sessions offered excellent business advice, accountable actions, and valuable contacts. At times, these sessions felt like business counselling and delivered some home truths that, while hard to admit, were incredibly valuable."
What sets TAB's business coaching apart is its integration with our business advisory boards. These boards amalgamate business owners and leaders from non-competing sectors in a group setting, functioning as a board of directors. During the monthly TAB Board meeting, members help each other identify opportunities and solve challenges they each face. With a TAB membership, you essentially have multiple business coaches at your disposal.
Following these board meetings, you will tackle the action items identified during your coaching sessions. These steps often play a crucial role in achieving your broader strategic vision.
Thousands of business owners have seen personal and professional growth from this combination. Their businesses have also seen remarkable success. Samantha Stones of WF Web Design shares her experience:
"As a new member of TAB, I’ve attended 4 peer board meetings and had 7 coaching sessions with Simon. These 22 hours have helped my business grow by 140% over the most challenging months any company could face. Being a TAB member has been insightful, engaging, and time well spent working on my business."
In conclusion, it's clear that business coaching, particularly when provided by experienced and adaptable professionals, can greatly contribute to the growth of a business and the personal development of the business owner. The Alternative Board (TAB) offers such business coaching backed by a network of seasoned professionals and a flexible approach that puts the individual business owner and their unique challenges at the centre of the coaching process.
By coupling coaching with advisory board meetings, TAB offers a holistic approach that enriches business owners with a wealth of advice, insights, and actionable steps. With an overwhelmingly positive response from members, who have experienced significant business growth and personal transformation, TAB business coaching is certainly worth considering for anyone seeking to enhance their business performance and personal leadership.
