Coaching to enhance business and organizational success.

Introduction
Business coaching entails engaging in once-off, seasonal or consistent consultation with employees, management, teams and stakeholders within a business, profit or nonprofit organization, faith-based organizations, institution or government. The objective is to improve the clients processes, operations, awareness , performance and organizational behaviour so as to accomplish business goals or organizational strategic outcomes through consensus. Successful coaching helps the client achieve agreed-upon business or organizational outcomes.

Business coaching enables the client to understand their role and level of commitment in achieving business efficiency, progress or success, and to enhance that role in ways that are measurable and sustainable. The coaching process may take different forms such as individual or team coaching. Business coaching involves different approaches and identified goals. These can range from stress and burnout prevention, leadership/executive development, absenteeism management, improving employee morale and many other identified goals based on the needs analysis and agreedupon business goals or organizational outcomes. Throughout the process there is a clear focus on the business goals or organizational strategic outcomes.

Business coaching establishes an atmosphere of mutual trust, respect, safety, challenge and accountability to motivate both the client and the coach. To that end, the business coach must conduct an ethical and competent consultancy, based on appropriate professional experience, business knowledge and an understanding of individual and organizational change. It is important to take note that business coaching is an inclusive term that refers to all types of business and organizational coaching. It is practiced by internal and external coaches who may identify as motivational speakers, business speakers, business consultants, business coaches, corporate coaches, executive coaches, leadership coaches, organizational development coaches or other types of business coac hes. Regardless of the practitioners title, business coaching is defined by its dual focus on the client and the clients organization.

Kindly, bear all this in mind as you access this profile and media kit of Sev Seane, Motivational Speaker and Business Coach as well as the umbrella organization Blossoming Destiny Business Coaching.
