Acorn Business Coaching's Philosophy

A Coach believes that the executive has the potential and desire to improve his/her performance. By helping this person to learn techniques, they have helped the person to consistently produce a superior performance. Coaching is not fishing for the person but teaching them to fish.

Acorn Business Coaching (ABC) is designed to support the senior executive in improving business performance by bringing experience, focus, and an outsider's perspective to the executive's problems. Our goal is to give your business the competitive edge during this challenging time of change to an information-based business economy.

ABC is based on the belief that successful executives have a fundamental expectation that improvement will come from commitment to these basic principles:

• The importance of developing relevant new ideas.
• The need to appropriately test new relevant ideas.
• The use of results to create more ideas.

ABC Coaching focuses on the use of continuous minor change, with new ideas and feedback from those ideas, to improve the results of a business. A continuing series of measured, innovative improvements can keep your company ahead of the competition!

ABC understands that determining how to spend executive time is one of the key decisions of any senior executive. The ABC Business Coach can help in several important ways.

We can help executives directly by:

• Clarification of valuable management ideas and separation of pertinent ideas from the fluff of new management theories.
• Identification of new methods and procedures from other businesses that may be relevant to your company.
• Development of foreign subsidiaries to expand market potential.
• Focus on more comprehensive and measurable delegation of responsibility within your business

ABC can also increase positive executive-employee interactions, which add to understanding of common goals, by helping the executive:

• Coach employees reporting directly to the executive.
• Improve the team approach through more complete communications.
• Develop methods of financial reporting which are appropriate for employees making daily decisions on running the business.
