I have not had much luck with business coaches and self-development. I have an engineering and general earth moving contracting background and I have the requirement to learn through actions and applications, not from someone telling me the positive mindset.
I need actionable steps that I can find in most books being written today if you read the right ones! For most self-development groups they give less than desirable action steps to move forward that are too broad and not specific to a person or business.
The world is full of information and you have access to a lot of things. Trying to decipher it all gives most people headaches and a lack of action!
How staff work and create a culture in a $500K company is different from a $25M company. Yes, the actions are the same, but the process is different. What makes it different is the access to people. It is much easier to communicate with everyone in a small company versus a large one.
For your job and self-development, research for yourself what applies to you as a staff member, so that you can be informed when leaders and owner set up consultants or coaches to come into the business. They are bringing in outside help to improve morale and business structure. Leaders and owners typically already have a plan forward, they bring in self-development to improve communication.
Hopefully, this post didn’t ramble too much and gave a little more clarity on coaches and consultants. Money being spent by any business should produce a viable result. If you need help building systems and processes inside of your company, reach out to our team at Future to Now Consulting.
