What’s the difference between a coach and consultant?
A consultant tells you what to do.
A coach helps you become the kind of owner who knows what not to do, what to do and gets it done.
I don’t just hand you a plan. I walk with you to make sure it works for your shop, your team, and your goals.
How do you define the coach relationship?
We’re in this together. I’m your coach, your sounding board, and your accountability partner.
I’ll help you get clear on what’s holding your shop back, give you the tools to adjust it, and support you as you grow into a true owner. Not just the one who puts out fires all day.
Today’s auto shop owners don’t need more to do or add to their day. With my repeatable framework, subtract activities that don’t serve you or your business and focus on the right activities at the right time. Gain clarity, control, confidence and results.
Who do you work with?
I work with single-location auto shop owners who want their business to be profitable, sustainable, and enjoyable again.
If you’re worn out from being the only one making things happen, I can help.
I don’t work with owners who know it all, complain all the time and blame others when things don’t go as planned. Owners who see themselves as victims and all their challenges as something beyond their control.
How do I know if I’m ready for coaching?
You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to be open to managing and leading differently. Making changes, and building a shop that doesn’t depend on you 24/7.
If you’re serious about wanting more freedom and less stress, you’re ready.
The most common thing that owners who invest in themselves tell me is “I should have done this sooner.” That’s because you’re ready before you think you’re ready. You had the dream and you have the grit. Now it’s time to take your dream and turn it into reality. Have the business and life you love. I call that work-life fulfillment.
