Coaching Services for Entrepreneurs

What attracted you to the wonderful world of entrepreneurship? Perhaps you got into business for yourself because you had a great idea, are a master in your industry, have a burning desire to serve others, or maybe you just wanted to bust out of the corporate 9-5 rat race!

Whatever your reason, here you are. You've hung your shingle and made umpteen trips to the office supply store. So where are all the clients? Where is the "ka-ching"?

Well, as it turns out, a successful business is heavily dependent on: Marketing! And where is your marketing plan? Oops, don't have a marketing plan? Well, how do you even begin one? Or, if you are like many, what about that great plan you had a consultant write for you, which is now sitting in a file cabinet somewhere... 

I will help you craft a rock-solid plan that will put your business on the fast track. Better yet, I'll be right there with you during implementation, so that you have no choice but to succeed!

Marketer as Leader
Coaching Services for Professional Services Marketers

As a marketer for a professional services organization (accounting firm, law firm, consulting firm, engineering, architecture or construction management company), you play a pivotal role for your firm. Unlike marketers who help their firms sell "widgets," you are selling services provided by people. Therefore you are in the unique -- and highly stressful -- position of serving your service producers (the accountants, lawyers, engineers, etc.) AND serving your firm's clients. Whew, you need to be a combination psychologist, mind-reader, juggler, artist, high-tech guru, magician, short-order cook and influential strategist. What a job description!

Most importantly, to be both effective and fulfilled in your role, you must step into your leadership as a marketer.

  • Are you seen as a leader in your firm?
  • Do you struggle with managing your many bosses?
  • Do you frequently find yourself working late to put together yet another last minute marketing effort that one of the partners landed?
  • Are you directing your firm’s marketing process strategically? Or are you in reaction mode most of the time?

To be treated as a leader in your firm, you must first see yourself as a leader. YOU are the marketing expert, the go-to guru of all things marketing. You possess knowledge and experience that will absolutely benefit your firm – but are you stepping up, into the shoes of Marketer as Leader? Or are you falling into the rut of being follower of your many bosses?

I have walked in your shoes (and more!). I spent 10 years of my career as Marketing Director in professional services firms – an architecture/engineering firm and a healthcare financial management consulting firm. As a marketing consultant, I have worked closely with accounting firms, A/E firms, IT firms and related associations. As a journalist, I have written both marketing copy and content-rich articles for publications directed to the accounting profession. I understand firsthand the level of demand placed on the marketing function in the professional services environment.

Are you ready to step into your leadership role as a professional services marketer? As your coach, I will work with you to take your career – and your firm’s success – to the next level.

Life Coaching for Individuals
(who may or may not be entrepreneurs!)

You can get coached on just about anything! I work with clients who bring a gamut of dreams and desires to the table. Some are crystal clear about their goals right away. Others have a less-clear yearning for something "more" or "better," and we work together to identify a focus. You may already know what you want to work on, but if not, here are a few ideas... perhaps you have the "itch" to:

Open a flower shop; do stand-up comedy; find a life partner; get healthier; declutter your living areas; quit eating sugar; write a book; get financially healthy; improve your relationships; start up a venture that will help others; add more fun to your life; create a meaningful life legacy; and on and on... what is your brilliant goal?

Perhaps you first had this idea for yourself a few months ago... or maybe even years ago. Well, why haven't you done it yet? What is stopping you? What kind of life are you creating for yourself when you procrastinate on your dreams?

Bring me into the equation and if you are truly committed, you'll reach your brilliant dreams in no time!
