Is Coaching Right for You?

Do you love being in business, yet strive for greater success with more ease?

Do you sometimes feel like your business (or businesses) are running you, instead of the other way around?

Do you like being in charge of your time and money, but sometimes find you don't have as much of one or the other as you would like?

Do you want to create more support, innovation and partnership in your business without giving up your control and independence?

Do you want to live your best life, while still achieving your professional and financial goals?

If you answered "YES" to any of these...

Then I might be just what you are looking for.

My name is Michelle Schubnel and I am a professional coach, speaker and fellow business owner/entreprenuer.

I know how challenging it can be to achieve the things we want in our business and life, from my own experience and from working with hundreds of business owners and entrepreneurs over the past 8 years.

Even the most intelligent, motivated and energetic individuals experience the inevitable challenges that accompany growth and success.

That's why the savvy ones work with a coach.


How Coaching Works

In my experience, there are 6 main areas where coaching yields significant ROI to business owners, executives and entrepreneurs. While each coaching engagement is customized for the client's unique needs and situation, most of my strategic business coaching focuses on these areas:

1. Vision: Many clients come to business coaching with one or two specific goals in mind. So we begin by clarifying what you really want to achieve. We'll look at your values and what you truly want for yourself, your business and your life. We'll also look at your reasons.  Are they compelling and propelling? You need good reasons that fire you up, especially if you're going big. Through our work together you will develop a clear, vivid and inspiring vision, that will accelerate your achievement of it.
   
   
2. Belief: Our beliefs are rarely neutral. They either move us forward or hold us back. We'll explore your beliefs so you can leverage the positive ones and reframe any that might keep you stuck.
   
   
3. Strategy: Excellent strategy yields outstanding results. We look at what's working, what's not and what needs to change. You'll develop specific strategies designed to maximize your success.
   
   
4. Action: Once you have your strategy in place, we focus on implementation. What are the actions you need to take and what can you delegate or outsource? How can you spend more of your time taking inspired action?
   
   
5. Operations: I have never met a person who can't improve their operations. For many of my clients, this is an ongoing area of focus. We'll strive to make things as automated, efficient and profitable as possible. What mechanisms can be put into place so your action is inspired and feels effortless, and everything else happens automatically?
   
   
6. Development: Who do you have to be to achieve the business success and personal fulfillment that you desire? I love the saying, "If you're not growing, you're dead." I'm a believer in personal development, the law of attraction and life long learning. My clients are as well.

"Michelle, your input and feedback on my website was absolutely pivotal in opening up the inquiry pipeline. Until you and I talked about the pathway through the site, there were very few inquiries. Now they come in every few days, just like clockwork. Out of 7 recent inquiries and comp sessions, 5 new clients! Thank you for your contribution and support. You have made a huge difference for me in my client acquisition process."
- Carmine Leo, Coach & Consultant

"When I first thought about working with a coach, I wondered, why hire someone to help you do what you could do by yourself? Because it helps. Working with Michelle has been a valuable opportunity to gain perspective, maintain motivation, and sometimes simply to vent to a sympathetic ear. I am not doing anything that I COULD not have done on my own, but I am doing things that I WOULD not have done on my own.
Michelle helped me step back and look at the big picture, figure out what's really meaningful, then create a strategy to make that reality. Her support has enabled me to determine what's standing between my current life and my ideal life, and I now have a plan in place. Michelle has provided unwavering support that stems from her unique perspective and her carefully considered philosophy. To her, our answers lie within each of us, and it is her role to help us illuminate them.
I do not intend to imply that this is a touchy-feely process, however. While her open-minded support is the cornerstone, it is emboldened by worldly experience and practicality. Michelle stresses setting concrete goals with specific time limits and then holds you to them. She also offers useful advice on tackling real-world problems and is adept at suggesting avenues which I had not previously considered.�
- Kevin McFarley, Attorney

"It is interesting the role that your coaching has played in my being more mature about business and my view and temperament on issues. What I mean is Thank you!"
- Larry Hillman, National Sales Director, Siemens

"Talking things through with a coach provided the clarity I needed and enabled me to really focus on my priorities. My life is more balanced and I'm more successful at work than ever.�
- Jeff Breyer, Management Consultant, Accenture
