Consultive Business Coaching
Where can the busy business
owner find the right counsel and support to tackle the real issues? We help
you refine your vision, reignite your passion and apply the critical core
values that your staff needs to help your organization thrive. Don’t settle
to just survive.
There is an important distinction we make of this service.
-
Consultive means an outside consultant has the expertise they
bring to a solution.
-
Coaching in a business sense means you the client have the
content knowledge and a coach helps you draw it out. However, the
client has ownership of the solution or course they choose.
While
each of these outliers can be useful, at VisionMakers’ we carefully develop
a shared partnership toward your vision and goals. You have the
entrepreneurial vision and expertise within your industry. We invest in
help you learn and apply the principles of highly effective leadership to
the situations and challenges you have. Working closely together, our
partnership results in you increasing your mastery and ownership toward the
issues you face rather than unhealthy dependencies on external parties.

Retreat Facilitation
There are
often critical milestones in developing your leadership team or organization
to have the right focus, roles and trusting relationships to tackle the tall
challenges you have. Creating a catalyst to make that happen can be quite
difficult for internal staff or even in your own role as “the boss”.
VisionMakers’ listens carefully upfront what your desired objectives are and
partners with you to plan and facilitate a retreat that makes holistic
shifts in thinking, renewal of core values, positive momentum for the tall
challenges ahead and accountabilities for follow-up actions.

"Dennis has been very
helpful to me and my staff in leading our last few staff development
retreats. He surveyed the staff to look at morale and attitudes. We
used this information discover methods to help us more effectively deal
with deal with conflict in the work place. He also helped to discover
our particular gifts and talents, which allowed us to better understand
one another and more effectively work together. Dennis is an excellent
facilitator and does a great job of generating openness and trust.
As a result of his help, morale has improved greatly and we have become
more effective as team members working toward a common goal. "
