Similar to a sports coach, a business coach works with you to help you realize your full potential. Whether you are a business professional, executive or entrepreneur. The Sage Alliance provides you with an experienced business professional, one who knows the ropes, to discuss your business.

Sage Alliance business coaching can help those who:

• want to improve their skills to advance their careers
• are trying to grow their companies and want motivation & accountability
• would like to be more effective and productive in their professions
• are contemplating a job or a career change
• would like to bounce ideas off of a experienced business professional

Business coaching is proven to help professionals and organizations better meet their goals and realize their full potential.

Manchester Inc. recently released the results of a study of 100 executives that quantifies the business impact of external executive coaching. Companies that provided coaching to their executives realized improvements in productivity, quality, organizational strength, customer service, and shareholder value. They received fewer customer complaints, and were more likely to retain executives who had been coached.

In addition, a company's investment in providing coaching to its executives realized an average return on investment (ROI) of almost six times the cost of the coaching.

Benefits to executives who received coaching were improved:

• Working relationships with direct reports (reported by 77% of executives)
• Working relationships with immediate supervisors (71%)
• Teamwork (67%)
• Working relationships with peers (63%)
• Job satisfaction (61%)
• Conflict reduction (52%)
• Organizational commitment (44%)
• Working relationships with clients (37%)
