Gain perspective
Ava, a small business owner, set up regular coaching sessions to help her think through many stages of her business. She focused on specific issues such as diversifying to a new service line, adjusting her leadership style for the various stages in the life of the business, transferring the business to a new owner, and starting the next business. The coaching sessions enabled Ava to consider her options with the guidance of an objective listener, and gave her the confidence to make the often difficult decisions about the future of her business.
