Business Partner Coaching

To be successful in the long term, business partnerships must be actively nurtured, much as a healthy marriage does. In business, that means working both on business issues and the manner in which the business partners interact.

Why do business partners come to me?

Sometimes I'm approached by business partners who are very successful. While there is nothing "wrong", they want an external perspective on what they're doing to ensure that the business and the partnership continue to function well
In other cases, I'm approached because something is not working so well. For example, the partners want more clarity regarding their roles. Or the business has grown and they want to introduce a new level of of leadership. Or there are tensions in the partnership team.
Or, because there are tensions in the leadership team.

How does business partner coaching work?

Before we begin, it's important to have confidence that we fit together. That's why I offer a free chemistry meeting.
We begin with an as-is analysis and 1:1 meetings with the business partners - how do they view the presenting issue(s), how well do they feel integrated into the partner team, what really matters to them?
Kick-Off meeting with the business partners to define the challenges to be addressed, prioritize them and align on the way forward.
What follows these initial steps is tailored to the needs of the business and the group.

What people are saying

For many years I have worked with a wide variety of people and groups, all of whom have enriched my life. You can read here what some of them say about working with me.

Greg Arena from lrb solutions, together with his business partner Uli Otto, coached us, a 5-member management team, with respect to team and organizational development. What I particularly appreciate about our work together is the human touch and unique way of working with each of our very different personalities. The intensive work we did with Greg and Uli helped us get to know each other better. That created a more resilient foundation for the team’s collaboration. A strategic outcome of the coaching process was a shared vision for our company’ future and an organizational structure that is enabling further growth.
