Business Coaching

Pam Watson Korbel and SmartGrowth, Inc. specialize in providing executive coaching to founders, CEOs, executives and managers of fast growth companies. Pam builds upon her success as a Marketing Manager and CEO to help her executive coaching clients enjoy more money, less work, more fun ™.

Executive coaching in entrepreneurial firms helps to focus the client and business on leadership and management skills, relationships, business systems, policies and procedures, and strategy. Using a variety of assessments, the first step is to determine how the client is doing. Then, quarterly goals are set for improvement.

SmartGrowth, Inc. uses three metrics to measure the value of executive coaching: sales growth, profit growth, valuation growth. Through specialized methodologies, Pam Watson Korbel has conducted research to substantiate soft skills like leadership and relationship development to hard results like business growth and equity.

The process to engage Pam Watson Korbel starts with a 20-minute telephone interview. If the client and coach ‘feel’ like a good fit, then Pam conducts an assessment that results in a free coaching session and proposal.

Some sample clients who benefitted from executive coaching include:

• The eldest child of a company founder who needed a structure for succession while developing leadership skills and an understanding of how to grow a business profitably.
  
• A technology company founder who needed to round out technical skills with people and relationship skills plus direction on strategy.
• A construction company CEO who needed coaching on how to work with the founder and board on realistic strategic and business plans.
• A health care business where the founder and executives lacked business acumen.
• A woman who founded a business that grew from $0 to $5 million in three years and desired a support system to develop leadership skills while growing the company more.
