An integral part of being an effective business consultant and advisor is the ability to listen, provide insight, share successes and failures (what works and doesn't work), identify a range of options and assist a client in reaching clarity in determining the best course of action for guiding their future. The coach's role is to be impartial, objective, insightful, honest and probing. One of the key attributes of an effective coach is the ability to ask "the right questions" and to then question the "why" behind the response. It's the ability to elicit responses that may be deep in the psyche of the client while providing an external perspective, guidance and feedback. The relationship between client and coach is a precious relationship – one based upon mutual interpersonal chemistry, a strong bond and connectivity, with an inherent and growing level of trust. Each respecting the other with a commitment to the client's personal and professional growth.

PointNorthEast™ coaches have also built a strong relationship with our clients, helping them achieve their next step in life or business. Our client experiences include:

  • A highly successful professional who achieved incredible monetary success yet yearned for other entrepreneurial challenges and opportunities. He acknowledged that while he enjoyed practicing in his profession, he loves the challenges and opportunities of creating new and creative business ventures.
  • An incredibly successful entrepreneur who achieved his aspirations of becoming a billionaire but recognized his personal style and approach were creating a less than positive professional image both inside and outside his wide portfolio of businesses around the world.
  • A former teacher recruited to be a law firm administrator who achieved his goal of becoming a lawyer and now owns and manages his own successful immigration law practice who shared: "You were the most influential person in my life – if it hadn't been for you, I would have never achieved what I have accomplished. Thank you for being there for me – I will be forever in your gratitude".
  • A highly successful fashion designer who had succeeded in business but had the feeling of failure in the other key dimensions of life. The formulation and implementation of a strategic life plan led to a shift from being only successful in business to also being successful in life.
  • A young, talented, ambitious but inexperienced mid-level manager with aspirations of success. Over the years he continued to excel, achieve and reach the pinnacle of his professional career as chairman, president & CEO of a premier national company.
