What you get.

Participating in a Strategic Business Leader coached monthly group will help you achieve greater success through brainstorming, planning, problem-solving, education, accountability, and support. Group sessions (on Zoom) and support between sessions are facilitated by one of our professional business coaches using our CoachAccountable platform.

The value of coaching.

While business owners, leaders, professionals, and entrepreneurs may be experts in their domain - be it real estate, investment, law, home service, entertainment, design, accounting, marketing, publishing, IT, or any other business pursuit - they are not necessarily experts in developing and running a business and making it highly successful.

According to a study by PriceWaterhouseCoopers and the Association Resource Center, the average Return on Investment of coaching is around 7 times the initial investment. And over a quarter of coaching clients report an ROI of 10 to 49 times the cost. A primary benefit cited is improved decision-making.

How CoachAccountable takes group coaching to the next level.

CoachAccountable offers you and your group members goal setting and accountability, progress tracking, planning, personalized support, community and connection, and access to resources:

• Goal setting and accountability: CoachAccountable provides a structured environment in which you, aided by your coach and fellow group members, set clear goals and milestones with deadlines. Scheduled reminders and, as needed, prompts from your coach and group members aim to keep you on track. CoachAccountable helps you stay focused and accountable.

• Progress tracking: You can set up Key Performance Indicators in CoachAccountable and visually see your progress toward the goals most important for your future success.

• Planning: Developing your strategic business plan with your coach is at the heart of the Strategic Business Leader coaching approach. This process is supported by CoachAccountable features including whiteboards, journals, actions, and metrics.

• Personalized support: CoachAccountable’s communications and tracking mechanisms enable your coach to see your progress and provide personalized support. You and your coach can easily schedule appointments and set up reminders.

• Community and connection: You have immediate access to your group peers for ongoing support and motivation.

• Access to resources: You can tap a library of resources, including group session notes, worksheets, videos, live webinars, training sessions, articles, and exercises, to help you achieve your goals by deepening your understanding of key business concepts and developing new leadership, planning, and execution skills.

How it starts.

Through our unique exploration process, driven by our CoachAccountable coaching platform, you are guided through:

• Scheduling a discovery meeting with the coach.

• Completing a short questionnaire before the meeting. The questionnaire asks you about your vision of great success, what’s in the way of getting there, your goals, what you would want from coaching, and your preferences, strengths, and weaknesses. Your responses will help guide the conversation about how Strategic Business Leader group coaching can help you achieve greater success. They will help your coach provide strategic and tactical guidance, right out of the box.

• Touring the process. We set you up on our CoachAccountable coaching platform and show you how the platform supercharges the group coaching relationship.

Create success through monthly sessions and weekly calls.

Going forward, the group and your coach will help you with planning support, creative ideas, and wise decision making. You will challenge one another to set and accomplish strong goals - both in the sessions and in between through accountability calls. Your coach will guide deep-dive discussions about your and the other members’ key issues and opportunities and will help the group gain knowledge and skills that create success — as each member defines it. A mutual commitment to confidentiality and having no competitors in the group will encourage honest and deep sharing to produce the best guidance.

Here’s what happens in the group sessions.

You meet monthly in 3 - 3.5 hour sessions with 4 - 12 business peers. Here’s a typical session agenda:

• Introductions/check-in (what's on your mind?) 8:30 - 8:50

• Open session. Each member raises a current problem and/or opportunity for feedback 8:50 - 9:50

• Topics for group consideration: Presentations and discussion 9:50 - 10:30 (Examples: achieving long-term success; developing good habits; productivity; goal setting; key performance indicators.)

• "Hot Seat” in which a member gets deep input from the group on a key business issue or opportunity 10:30-11:10

• One-on-ones for accountability calls 11:10-11:15 Pairing of group members for weekly accountability calls.

• Tasks and commitments 11:15-Noon Each member commits to a set of 30-day accountability goals and reports progress on previous 30-day goals.
