​
Provide fresh insights and thinking on emerging or unfamiliar issues
Respond to your ideas and play devil's advocate where required
Provide wise counsel on issues raised
Provide high-quality objective advice, guidance and support
Monitor business performance, holding you accountable for your targets and KPI's

The program kicks off with a 1-day intensive strategy session to define your strategy and goals for the year. We then select your Business Coach and Virtual Advisory Board members based on your specific business needs.
​
Each month you work with your Business Coach, and each quarter you will meet with your virtual advisory board.
