Katie Gilkey Launches The Growth Coach of Central Kansas
Hutchinson, KS (PRWEB) September 06, 2017 -- Whether she’s working in a dentist’s office or as a national sales trainer, Katie Gilkey has always found ways to think outside the box to help people reach their goals and live successful lives. Now she’s looking forward to using those skills to help business leaders and sales professionals with her new company, The Growth Coach of Central Kansas.
The Growth Coach is the largest provider of affordable group coaching workshops in the nation, but coaches also offer group and one-on-one coaching for sales professionals, managers, management teams, self-employed professionals and more. Other services include remote coaching delivered via phone and web, coaching for special projects, business valuation services, sales mapping and more. The Growth Coach’s mission is to help business leaders build more successful business and more balanced lives. The Growth Coach of Central Kansas serves Hutchinson, Salina, McPherson, Emporia, Hesston, Hillsboro, El Dorado, Maize, Park City, Bel Aire, Andover and the surrounding areas.
Gilkey first started thinking about becoming a business coach during her days as a dental hygienist, when she saw dentists and other medical professionals working with coaches and trainers to learn how to run the business part of their practice. After 17 years working in dentistry, Gilkey decided it was time for a change, and after obtaining her health insurance license took a job as an area manager for 360care. She was so good at her job that the company started asking her to help train their inside sales team which markets for the company’s current 16 state area. That’s when she started to see sales and business coaching clearly in her future.
“As I had the opportunity to work with other sales professionals, I found that I really enjoyed pubic speaking, leading sales teams to success and helping people meet their goals. I thought back to the consultants I saw working with the dentists and how much their guidance could positively impact the business and I thought, you know, that’s something I would love to be able to do. That’s when I found The Growth Coach and, as I did my research, everything was just jumping off the page. This was what I had been looking for. The Growth Coach gives me a gateway to make a positive impact on business leaders in my community,” Gilkey said.
As a Growth Coach, Gilkey is certified in The Strategic Mindset coaching process, which adheres to the standards, practices and policies that the International Coaching Federation has set forth in their Code of Professional Standards and Ethics. The company’s landmark Strategic Mindset Process is so effective that it comes with a money-back guarantee. Gilkey, who is also a Registered Dental Hygienist and licensed insurance agent, is opening The Growth Coach with the support of her husband of 20 years, David, and their two teenage sons, Logan and Rhett.
“So many business owners, company leaders and sales professionals are great at the technical piece of the business, but they need help seeing the big picture and taking action to improve the business and find balance in their lives. Even if you go to school to be a dentist, they teach you to be a dentist, but they don’t necessarily teach you how to run a business, motivate employees or excel in sales and marketing. The Growth Coach is unique because we can help you learn how to be a great business person – not just a great technician,” Gilkey said.
The Growth Coach, founded in Cincinnati, Ohio, sold its first franchise in 2003, but its leaders have a successful 20-year track record of helping business leaders find success and balance. Today the business and sales coaching franchise is in more than 100 markets worldwide.
