Great People on FocalPoint Discovery Day

What a day!

I just finished something called "Discovery Day." It's a part of the process someone goes through before they join us as a Business Coach.

We have a 2 party decision making process. The potential Business Coach has to decide to do this, and we want to make sure the right people join our team.

Today's call was great. The group was representative of the kind of people that look at FocalPoint Coaching. - Senior VP's, Serial Entrepreneurs, and High Performing Managers. I love it when we do our intro's and it becomes clear its a meeting of peers.

One of our guests said something I jotted down that really captures what many others have said. His reason for looking at joining us and becoming a coach was based on his question..." What can I do with the skills I've developed, and use them in my own business?..."

He's right. Business Coaching is the logical conclusion for someone who wants to get paid from the neck up. It only make sense to build on your existing skills.

You might be interested in an overview of the varied backgrounds of the people who were on our call. By way of summary...

  • A Business Professor, turned corporate, rising to very senior levels in Banking
  • A high performing Mortgage Broker
  • A CPA who also has an MBA
  • A Corporate Finance and Accounting Exec
  • A Real Estate Exec
  • A Senior Manager from Major Accounts in Telecom
  • A serial Entrepreneur in the Consumer goods industry
  • A Seasoned Professional Presenter with an very interesting entertainment angle !

I also want to give kudos to one of our top coaches, Brad Ness from Columbus, Ohio who joined us to share his perspective on being a FocalPoint Coach .

As I said, what a great day. Our team is growing at a perfect pace, with the perfect people!

Thanks for tuning in!
Steve Thompson, FocalPoint Coaching
