Coaching Institutes Announces Revolutionary New Recession-Busting Business Coaching Programs

Coaching Institutes has launched a series of revolutionary business and individual coaching programs designed for every type of learning style, and every budget. These programs were developed in response to the economic downturn that has kept many companies from any plans for expansion.

Gaithersburg, MD (PRWEB) November 10, 2009 -- Coaching Institutes has launched a series of revolutionary business and individual coaching programs designed for every type of learning style, and every budget. These programs were developed in response to the economic downturn that has put many companies in a “bunker mentality”. Fearing the economy will prevent any future expansion plans, hiring at many companies has been reduced or eliminated. The Small Business Administration reports that small businesses have created roughly 70 percent of all new American jobs in the past decade. Without small business on board, we have no recovery.

As the comfort zone for executives continues to shrink, it is more and more difficult for them to make the decisions necessary to start their businesses growing again. To reach more business owners in need, Coaching Institutes has taken a radical departure from standard coaching practices. Not only do people have different modes of learning, but also some prefer to learn alone while others prefer to learn in groups. Coaching programs must accommodate these styles and preferences.

Business or executive coaching is traditionally done on a close individual basis, much like a consulting engagement. But, executive leadership coaching can also be done in a group setting with others at a similar level, in a non-competing environment so ideas can flow easily. With an experienced moderator to keep things on track, this group is called a Mastermind Group. This group decision making process is the secret behind virtually every successful organization.

For individuals who prefer to learn alone, the Inner Circle membership community would be the answer. In the Inner Circle, members have access to streaming video coaching modules, complete with exercises they can work through at their own pace. The next level up, Inner Circle Silver, members also have access to question and answer webinars that extend the learning of the videos. One more step up brings the members into individual one-on-one coaching with all the benefits of a personal coach.

A frequent objection to coaching is cost. The international consulting firm of Booz Allen & Hamilton undertook a coaching program for some of its senior members. Separately, they engaged another consulting firm to study the effectiveness of their internal coaching program. The independent results showed an astonishing 689% return on the coaching investment. This study indicates that a coaching program is not a cost to the business, but in fact, a rather lucrative investment.

In these uncertain times, when business executives find it harder and harder to make decisions regarding future growth, a business coach is more important then ever. Regardless of what level an owner may be at in their business, coaching can bring them to a higher level. In the words of Michael Larsen, “If business owners find it difficult or frustrating to run their business, a business coach may be their best resource for the long term.”

Coaching Institutes provides management consulting, coaching and organizational development training since 2005. Michael Larsen has over thirty years experience as a management consultant, business owner, executive coach, author, and professional speaker.
