4 Business Coaching Styles Supporting Entrepreneurial Success

Reality check - Why are you trying to play this business game alone? I’ve learned that growing your business may require partnering with a Business Coach to provide the accountability and clarity needed to execute your business strategy effectively. You also need someone in your corner to motivate you through various business challenges. Choosing a Coach who complements your personality and understands your business can be a difficult but necessary task because all Business Coaches are not the same.

Check out these four (4) business coaching styles and their unique characteristics:

Direct and Assertive 

All Business Coaches provide guidance to help you achieve your company’s goals. However, direct and assertive Business Coaches hold you accountable for executing your strategic plan. This assertive communication style will result in productive coaching sessions providing definitive instructions on the steps needed to reach your goals.

Inspiring and Creative

Entrepreneurs love to think innovatively outside the box. Consider working with a Business Coach focused on inspiring you to maintain a positive mindset to confront the challenges associated with growing your business. These Business Coaches also value helping their clients identify creative methods of reaching their business goals. 

Empathetic and Encouraging 

If you’re looking for a Business Coach to celebrate your wins and support your growth, consider someone who listens empathetically. An empathetic Business Coach will provide you with the encouragement to achieve your goals. A Coach whose foundation rests on empathy and encouragement will propel you to:

• Organize projects efficiently

• Provide precise directives to your team

• Set appropriate and reasonable timelines

Logical Decision-Makers 

Also known as systematic coaching, this style of coaching focuses on the process of planning and executing initiatives. Business Coaches who utilize logic and reasoning have a desire to assist entrepreneurs with making firm decisions that will influence their business’ growth. Logical decision-makers often provide feedback and make suggestions rather than giving directives.
