EnCours Business Coaching starts with a Strategic Planning session. This session will be attended by the owner, co-owners and members of the senior team that the business owner thinks should be present. Typically the session lasts 5 or 6 hours, and the discussion is facilitated by the coach.

The first job of the coach is to ensure that everyone around the table can see the benefits to themselves in their personal lives of the business moving to greater heights of achievement. The Vision and Mission of the business will be developed and the discussion will be captured by the coach on a one-page Strategic Plan. Gradually plans evolve which will move the business towards the vision, and meaningful goals are set for everyone to achieve in agreed timescales.

There will be some key issues discovered that need special attention. EnCours has a range of tools to deal with these, which are grouped under three categories of issues - Time, Team and Money (see below). We employ these tools, showing the business owner how to use them and giving guidance and structure.

Following on from the Strategic Plan, the coaching relationship depends on the coaching programme selected by the client. There are three programmes:

Silver: Up to an hour's coaching per week by telephone if possible, and a monthly face to face coaching session

Gold: As per Silver but with the addition of a half-day team session avery 6 months

Platinum: Up to 2 hours coaching per week by telephone if possible, a monthly face to face coaching session and a half-day team session every three months.
