Business coaching is intended for all types of managers: ETIs, VSEs, start-ups, SMEs... Any business manager can call on a business coach in order to support him on his problems.

The coach can also intervene in team management by optimizing management and working with the various members. At VISCONTI Partners, this team coaching can take place as part of the executive committee Or of board of directors.

Objectives of business coaching

As part of support aimed at achieving a previously set objective, the coach can help you:

  • Manage your agenda
  • Implement a clear and effective strategy
  • Manage your teams
  • Managing sources of conflict
  • Define your vision or the purpose of your business
  • Set your goals as part of a strategic plan

The areas of intervention of the business coach

The business coach is generally called upon to solve a specific problem in the company. He then analyzes the situation and determines, with the customer, the source of the problem and the points on which to work. The business coach is often called at a pivotal moment, when the business is stuck or in a downturn due to a complication. Its areas of intervention can be varied.

The loneliness of the leader

In making decisions, the tasks to be carried out, the thoughts to have, the speeches to be given, the leader is alone. He is exposed to great loneliness in his professional life.

This can then become a source of tension, stress, or even lead to health or psychological complications. This can create a lack of self-confidence, uncertainty, or even a fear of making decisions.

These complications can then have an impact on the life of the company and its evolution.

A coach can encourage the manager to talk freely about his feelings and to put his finger on the problem (s). The coach can then help him redefine his pace or even optimize his performance.

A problem in the company

Very often, calling on a coach takes place when a problem occurs and persists. The lack of prospects for the future, the feeling of not finding solutions push the manager to seek help.

The business coach then seeks to optimize the skills and assets of the manager and his company. It may therefore be necessary to implement a reorganization.

A transition period

A change in the company, a merger, an acquisition, a growth, a major shift are all moments during which it is useful to be supported. It is then necessary to work on your ability to adapt, anticipate, sometimes even your strategic turnaround and make decisions.

Coaching sessions provide managers with the confidence they need to make decisions with confidence in this period of stress and risk.
