1. WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF COACHING?

Currently, there are two major branches of Professional Coaching: Personal Coaching and Business Coaching, but each is quickly gaining sub-specialties. Each one goes by various names.

For example, Personal Coaching is also known as life coaching, success coaching, personal life coaching, and career coaching. It is commonly used to help everyday people in their personal lives accomplish their dreams and grow personally. Usually, it does not focus on professional development, leadership skills, company profitability, management training, business development, team building, organizational development, or change management.

Business coaching is also known as: executive coaching, corporate coaching, management coaching, small business coaching, sales coaching, and leadership coaching, to mention a few. There are distinctions and separations between these areas and even the specific names, but the primary differences are in: the people served and the problems most commonly encountered, rather than the techniques used, the coach’s ability, their training, or even their personal experiences.

The coaches at Fortune100Coach.com specialize in Business Coaching. Our coaching is typically tied to:

Your personal performance	Your personal leadership style
Enhancing your leadership skills	Team Building activities
Your team’s performance	Motivating your people
Improving their productivity	Your career development
How to grow your company	Strategies for building your business
Executive Leadership Development	Management Training
Strategic planning for future business growth

2. WHAT IS EXECUTIVE COACHING AND BUSINESS COACHING?

Executive and Business Coaching is a 1-on-1 interactive relationship between a Coach and a Client. The client has a position of leadership, ownership, or management in an organization. The focus of the coaching process is designed to help leverage organizational performance and leadership development while working with our Clients to achieve their goals, dreams, visions, and plans faster than they could on their own.

3. I'M STILL NOT CLEAR ABOUT HOW COACHING WILL HELP ME OR
MY COMPANY. CAN YOU TELL ME MORE?

Absolutely. Here is a good analogy based on sports. Professional and Olympic athletes have long recognized that having a 1-on-1 personal coach can help them reach the top of their game faster and stay there longer than they can on their own. For example, Michael Jordan was kicked off his high school basketball team because the coach thought he didn’t have any talent. Throughout his first years in the NBA, Michael was a good player, but it wasn’t until he came under the guiding eye of Phil Jackson that Michael Jordan truly came into his own and became the greatest basketball player of all time. The moral here is that even a Michael Jordan needs a Phil Jackson.

Golfing phenomenon, Tiger Woods, attributes much of his current success to the regular work he does with his personal coach.

Think of coaching as a proven support system for your personal and
business success.
Coaching will help you rapidly accelerate your development and achieve your
goals
Coaching is a support structure for problem solving.
Coaching is for people who are seriously committed to investing the time,
energy, and financial resources it takes to better themselves, develop their
people, and build their company.
Coaching is an insurance policy against mediocrity.
A coach will help you dream bigger dreams and live a bigger life.
A coach provides you with an objective sounding board.

4. WHAT IS THE RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI) OF BUSINESS
COACHING AND EXECUTIVE COACHING?

Executive coaching is a collaborative partnership focused on helping your leaders and teams reach peak performance, increase their productivity, and develop more effective leadership skills in their workplace resulting in significant corporate growth and profitability.

A 2001 research report involving more than 100 executives, mostly from Fortune 1000 companies, found the average company experienced a 600% Return on Investment (ROI) when they provided their executives with 1-on-1 executive coaching and leadership development. The executives reported directly saving or making an average of $100,000 for every $15,000 to $20,000 spent on their coaching, in addition to other intangible benefits such as enhanced morale, improved interpersonal relationships, and a stronger leadership team.

A 2002 study of mid-size companies found an average ROI of over 520% for management and leadership coaching initiatives.

There is a reason why more and more companies are regularly using executive coaching—because it works!

It would be unethical to guarantee a specific outcome for a client. However, our coaches have years of experience helping many leaders, managers, and executives discover and implement cutting-edge leadership development techniques that rapidly enhance their skills, increase productivity, and improve their Company's bottom lines. Plus, we guarantee our executive coaching can help you achieve maximum results for your time, efforts, and resources.

6. WHY DO YOU OFFER A FREE COACHING SESSION?

It is one thing to read about the power of coaching and quite another to personally experience how coaching can help you. Also, coaching is not for everyone. Some people are not ready to be coached or can be better helped by a different kind of professional.

We don't use the free coaching session to hard sell you, upsell you, or side sell you. Instead, we use the free session to get to know you and your situation before offering to coach you around a specific goal, obstacle, or topic. We want you to experience the power of coaching firsthand and then let you make the decision as to whether or not it would benefit you.

At the end of the free session we will simply ask you if you want to continue the coaching relationship and if you chose not to, that's ok. Coaching is not for everyone. We must believe you are a good fit, that we can help you achieve your stated goals and outcomes, and that you are ready to be coached.

Free Coaching Session Policy
Our free coaching sessions are only available to new clients or customers. Several of our programs and products come with one or more free coaching sessions. If you purchase or sign up for multiple programs or products, you are only able to use the one that offers you the most sessions at the time of purchase or sign up. The maximum combined coaching sessions possible is four 30-minute sessions.

7. DO YOU PROVIDE ANY KIND OF GUARANTEE?

Yes and no.

As coaches of integrity, we cannot honestly guarantee that our coaching will lead to any specific results. There are too many variables and uncertainties. We don't know you, your specific business, your level of commitment or competency.

However, we do offer something extremely rare in our industry—a 100% money back guarantee on all our coaching services and products. If you are not absolutely satisfied with the value you have received from our coaching services or products in the first 30 days, we will give you a full refund. No questions asked. Guaranteed.
