Starting or even growing your existing business can be full of obstacles. You could also be feeling stuck in your current job role, and are unsure how to move forward.

The goal is for you to gain new perspectives and take actionable steps based on what they suggest.

Whether you’re starting from scratch or need help on developing a new direction for your business, we’ll connect you with the best coaches to help you do just that.

Choosing a Business & Career Coach

What to expect from an Executive Coach

Like with any form of coaching, an executive coach is there to act as a mentor to help you achieve your goals. More specifically, the goals relating to your business or career. The first step is to identify your aims and any stumbling blocks that you are currently experiencing. During the process, your executive coach will draw on their corporate experience to help you move forward.

Every executive coach will have a different approach to their work. However, the overall aim is to motivate and encourage your journey so that you can succeed professionally. Often, you’ll attend several sessions either in person or virtually to discuss your progress. Some require just a handful of sessions. However, some people prefer creating and maintaining a long-term relationship with their executive coach as they progress with their career.

What to look for in a Business or Career Coach

Your business isn’t just your livelihood, it’s the combination of your passion and ambition too. So when it comes to hiring a business or career coach, you want someone who shares the same determination for it to succeed.

Business coaches, often referred to as executive coaches, usually have a corporate background. Preferably, they will have real life experience in managing their own business too. This includes successfully overcoming challenges so that they can best help you overcome yours too.

Every business is different. However, the qualities to look out for aside from experience is someone motivated, knowledgeable, and firm when needed. You should leave each session feeling empowered, ready to make the necessary improvements.

Different types of Executive Coaching

Executive coaching is a broad definition that may cover several different approaches, depending on whether it’s for yourself or the wider business. You may be an employee looking to reach your potential within your job, or looking to go it alone with a new business venture. So it’s vital to select the right type of executive coaching for your needs.

  • Business Coaching - A business coach will help train and mentor you to become more successful. It is different from business consultancy where external teams will come in and make changes. Instead, business coaching is about giving you the tools to adapt your business model or strategy yourself, so that you fully understand what needs to happen. The aim is to create a long-lasting change in the business through the knowledge gained and the strategies you have developed with your coach.

  • Career Coaching - Feeling uninspired in your current job role? Want to go for that promotion, but don’t know how? Career coaching takes an individual look at where you are now and compares it with where you want to be. It will take into account things such as your personality, as well as your strengths and weaknesses. By identifying what is currently holding you back, your career coach will help you reach your potential in the workplace.

  • Personal Development - Personal development is a huge part of executive coaching. Whether you are an employee, are self-employed, or are the CEO of a large company - everyone can benefit from personal development. It can include everything from boosting your confidence to handling stress better. Or, areas such as public speaking and even improving your time management. If there are aspects that are holding you back in your business or job, then personal development will tackle these head-on.

  • Leadership Skills - Not everyone is a born leader. It could be you have been promoted to a managerial position or are aiming to be, but lack the skills or personal attributes to get there. Leadership skills will take a closer look at what is needed to manage a team. A great manager should possess confidence in their ability, but equally, not micromanage. They also need to be great coaches in themselves, which is why executive coaching that focuses on leadership skills can give you the tools you need to do just that. It may also highlight any areas of weakness so you can become the best version of yourself when it comes to your management style.

How to check an Executive Coach’s credentials

Various executive coaching programs exist, such as AoEC and INSEAD. However, what’s most important is that your coach has the real life experience of running a business. They must understand workplace procedure as well as the ins and outs of business so that they are best placed to coach you. While some executive coaches also work as therapists, the two are separate entities. Though, if you are also looking to work on your personal development, a coach who works across both areas may be of benefit.

Can I access Business & Career Coaching online?

Yes! This service is known as virtual executive coaching. What’s great about virtual coaching is that it’s more convenient versus travelling to a session after work. You can even get business or career coaching during your lunch break when accessed online. As business coaches are located around the world, virtual sessions may also mean you can access the very best professionals who otherwise would be out of reach.

Why is Business Coaching important?

Running a business can be very challenging. There are so many factors that could inhibit the success of a business, regardless of whether your company is a startup or is long-established. Business coaching invites an experienced but, crucially, a neutral individual to give you a fresh perspective on where your business is heading. It can act as much-needed support for any current issues you are experiencing.

Business coaching is also very useful for anyone considering starting a company too. Your coach will help you draw on your current personal strengths, as well as working on any weaker points to ensure you get off to a successful start. They will help you stay motivated so that your business becomes a reality, instead of remaining a pipedream.

How much do Business Coaches charge?

Pricing for business coaching will vary depending on if you require individual coaching, or whether you are looking for wider consultancy across the whole business. Some executive coaches may also charge more for individual sessions versus block sessions.

Should I get a Career Coach?

Career coaching is geared towards those who are ready to make actionable changes in their professional life. So, if you are ready to take your career to the next level, and are willing to listen and put the work in to get there, then yes.

You might be reading this because you feel something is missing in your life right now. If you are taking the time to read the next few paragraphs we wanted to let you know we really appreciate your time. Now, take the time to imagine living a life where you feel fulfilled, where you have great family connections, maybe you achieve the next level of success in your career and you have the wisdom, the inner peace and the strength to create the life that you always desired. What does YOUR ideal life look like for you? How long have you been wanting this and how is it progressing? So many of us want our lives to improve and for a reason or another we get stuck. Our aim is to help you get there, by guiding, counselling, mentoring and coaching you. Receiving the nurturing that you so need to help you achieve what you want in your life. AREAS WE CAN HELP WITH We help people across 3 areas: yourself, your career, your business. SELF: Build resilience and handle stress Develop confidence and self esteem Increase focus and discipline Communicate effectively Clarify your purpose and find fulfilment Improve your relationships Become a better parent Look after and prioritise yourself CAREER Accelerate your career Change your career Become an effective leader Nurture and retain talent Develop trusted relationships Make a greater impact BUSINESS: Aspire to start a business Develop an entrepreneurial mindset Learn to stay ahead of the curve Achieve work-life integration WHAT TO EXPECT FROM WORKING WITH US You will form a unique relationship with your mentor and coach who will prepare you emotionally, mentally, technically for every area of your life you will want to improve. She will help you identify what GAPS you have that BLOCK you from achieving your goals as well as create a DEVELOPMENT PLAN to maximise your potential. It is about you consistently growing and producing the results you are after. A mentor and coach has a different perspective as they see what you cannot see; you are on the battlefield and they have the outsider view. The most successful people have mentors and coaches that help them see their gaps and unlock their full potential. Mentoring and coaching is not just for higher executives but for everyone, regardless of what position you are in. WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT Through understanding the correct PRINCIPLES that govern human wellbeing we empower people to not only become INDEPENDENT (mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically) but also INTERDEPENDENT (learn the art of building meaningful, trustworthy relationships and become effective leaders of others as well as themselves). We feel it is fundamental that whoever is guiding you has walked and is still walking the same path as you, so all our coaches and mentors continue to receive mentorship and coaching on a weekly ongoing basis. Therefore, we understand and experienced similar challenges and difficulties in our life and more importantly we are focused on taking responsibility and making the necessary changes to transform. We know how hard it is to make changes, to transform to do things differently when until now we were stuck in the same pattern. We do not take this lightly and admire the brave ones. It is crucial and vital that we take the leap, face whatever is it we want to run away from and charge ahead with courage and compassion. We feel humbled and honoured to guide the ones that ask for our care.

What do you love most about your job?

There is no greater meaning and fulfilment when you see people growing and developing and achieving their dreams and their ambitions. As a mentor and coach you develop a very close relationship to the people you have the honour to guide and you are there with them, suffering with them in moments of difficulty and there celebrating with them their successes. It's in these relationships, in the leadership we show that we can genuinely transform humanity.

What inspired you to start your own business?

Patricia’s passion for wellbeing has been ignited by her own physical and emotional challenges. Before Metanoia Wellness, Patricia’s background is working in a high pressure corporate environment, responsible for driving the revenue and profitability of consumer goods.

Her journey lead her to understand that to truly make a transformation in your own life you not only have to challenge your own thinking and mindset, but that you also need a multidisciplinary approach to wellbeing as physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing all working synergistically.

Why should our clients choose you?

What is most important to us is that whatever we advise people in doing it is something that we ourselves have implemented and walked the path of. Therefore, theory is useful only in the context of our applicability and experience. Patricia has been mentored & coached herself on a weekly basis since she has founded Metanoia Wellness. Her study has helped her deepen her understanding of how people can achieve independence (mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically) but also interdependence (learn the art of building meaningful, trustworthy relationships and become effective leaders of others as well as themselves).

Lindsay has recently supported my daughter with her anxiety. Lindsay provided a safe and trusting environment for my daughter and provided her with strategies to support her. Thank you!

21 Apr 2024

I contacted Linda at a time of personal crisis after being made redundant and wanting to make a career change. I knew what I wanted to do, but had no idea how to go about it. She was immediatley able to come up with practical suggestions that helped me to effectively articulate my goals on LinkedIn and on my CV. She was pivotal in boosting my confidence and showing demonstating creative avenues to help my with my job search. I highly reccomend her!

I was recently lucky enough to have a coaching session with Phill and he used a technique called Havening. It was simply a safe haven. And while I'm writing this review, I am struggling to remember what was the issue that I had for quite some time..still nothing! This is how good it was! Phil is an amazing coach, patient, warm and with an amazing voice. I would recommend him to anyone that wants fast stable results.
