Business Coaching For Growth

The route to a coaching programme with Level Up is the same for every business.  First we sit together and draw out your Vision and longer term goals for your business.  That gives you – and your coach – a direction, and from that we can agree milestones and plans that you want to hit on that journey.

However, Business Plans have a great knack of sitting on the virtual shelf and gathering dust.  To prevent this from happening to you, then we start you off on a short series of coaching sessions to help you start implementing your plan.  Each coaching session lasts between 60 and 90 minutes, and can be face to face or online to suit you.  Here, we review activity and agree tasks to be done in support of your plan – we can train you in areas you are unfamiliar with, or give you simple tools to use to put into practice what you want to achieve.

If this works for you, you are welcome then to enroll on an ongoing coaching programme where we can meet regularly – and a frequency that suits you and your business needs – to continue to support the growth of your business.

All business ARE unique – they may do similar things for similar customers, but the reasons they do it the way they do it are as different as the people who own and run them.

One of the fears for independent business owners in seeking help and support is that they are going to lose what makes them unique, and get swallowed up by some sort of corporate consultancy monster.

That is the absolute opposite of what we at Level Up provide.  The support we offer is driven by the goals, aspirations and values that you hold dear to you.  If you don’t know what they are, we will help you articulate them – but they are yours, not ours or anyone else’s.

Level Up Support brings what you might not yet have in your business.  Accountability.  An Outside Perspective.  Experience.  Challenge.  A Sounding Board. A Critical Friend.

Level Up is truly sector-agnostic.  We believe that you have the best understanding of your sector (or have access to people who do) – however we know that we understand how businesses work, and that the challenges faced by business owners and leaders are common across all sectors, as are many of the solutions to those challenges.

There are some sectors, however, where you may be better advised to seek out specialist support – in particular regarding agriculture and property development.  

Otherwise, whether you are making product, buying product, delivering services, serving businesses or serving consumers, you will find the support you need with Level Up.

To build momentum and start making a difference, you will start off on a Kickstart Programme, which combines visioning and planning, supplemented by some coaching.  The Kickstart Programme lasts between 4 and 6 months.

Beyond Kickstart, there is no minimum term for a coaching programme – fees are invoiced each month, and all that we ask is for one month’s notice to be given to suspend or cancel the programme.

If you have never worked with a business coach before, then it is quite difficult to predict whether it is going to suit you or not.   

The best and easiest way to find out, is to take advantage of our free introductory business review meeting.  Here, you are going to be asked a number of questions about your business, and get to articulate what you think may be missing from what you are doing now.

Essentially through this meeting, you will be experiencing what it like to be coached – and if you enjoy it, and find it beneficial, then you can be pretty sure that coaching is going to work for you.

We would reiterate though – to be successful through a Level Up coaching programme, you are more likely to be

• Ambitious
• Open to change
• Willing to learn
• Positive in outlook
