Coaching Success
Andy has helped business owners and leaders achieve success in a variety of ways.
The patriarch of a family business intellectually wanted to transition more control to his adult sons, but emotionally he could not let go. I listened to all stakeholders, in a group and one on one. Once I understood their concerns, fears and desires I then established pathways to surface them, so they understood one another, and I then enabled strategies to commence greater engagement by the sons in the family business.
A senior executive and named partner of a highly regarded professional services firm around his late ’60s faced an age-based mandatory retirement and had to transition away from his multi-decade practice. Money was not the issue, but his identity was - to be defined by who he is, not what he does. I created strategies for the individual to pursue, with definitive milestones and pathways and he reemerged happier more focused and highly productive in the next stage of his life.
An international business owner around 50, found his earnings stagnating and his business purpose vacant. I spent time to listen and then help define his passions and purpose in order for him to transition to a new business model, then align his skills with the model. The outcome has been to reinvent himself, become highly successful and live a much happier life
A former attorney and owner in his 70’s, of a real estate investment business felt irrelevant, indeed lost. I listened then focused to transition him back to his old confident self and his past successes, by concentrating on his skill sets and a sense of purpose. He subsequently became more engaged and focused, resulting in a reenergizing and of his investment business that has now become highly successful, and he feels very relevant and is much happier in his life.
A female executive faced retirement. She was concerned about her transition to the next phase of her life. I listened to her concerns and desires, then helped her map out benchmarks and steps to pursue her passions, while quelling her fears. Through a clear plan and pathways, she has reinvented herself as a very successful and happy owner of her business, post-retirement.
A female dynamic business owner and her husband own highly successful business. Their lives have become so busy that they feel a loss of emotional control over their assets, I listened to their concerns and needs, then devised a “wealthbook” to summarize their assets, their short term financial needs and spent time communicating what is in the “wealthbook”. As a result, their emotional fears have dissipated, and they have transitioned back to being able to grow their business, with confidence they know what they have, and where it resides.
A husband and wife own a very profitable business, but they wanted to transition to have more time to enjoy their lifestyle in their 60’s. I was engaged in helping them negotiate a venture with a potential partner. I first ensured that I understand their dreams and also the realities of their business and lives, then was a spearhead to negotiate arrangements to enable their goals to become reality.
