SUCCESS ELEMENTS INC is pleased to offer its Strategic Planning and Business Growth workshops designed for small/ medium size businesses. Each series has been scaled for SMEs in a format that can be completed and implemented for near-term impact. Participants can expect both topics to be demystified and streamlined for their use – including tools and templates usable in their businesses immediately. You will compare notes with other business owners who have encountered similar frustration with the concept and execution of both. Most importantly, you will have a brief time away from your day-to-day operational roles to look at your business from another perspective.

Our Success Board is a business service offered by Success Elements to business owners and executives in a peer group environment. The service is specifically designed for small to medium sized business to act as an advisory board for each Success Board member. Each month members meet to share their expertise and experience across a wide range of business topics. Each member is from a non-competing business and while sharing similar challenges and successes brings with them a different perspective and approach. It is this ‘same’ but ‘different’ factor that creates a dynamic advisory / mentoring environment where all members benefit in ways not available in any other process. It becomes your advisory board, confidential and virtually risk-free.

Monthly meetings are facilitated by a trained Certified Professional Business Coach with Success Elements. In addition, the facilitator works with you and fellow board members to confirm and / or identify strategies, tactics and action plans that make sense for your business and situation. Equally important, all members are held accountable by fellow board members for the implementation of strategies agreed upon for their respective businesses. Because each business has unique needs your Success Board coach will support each member to provide whatever services are required over and above the services offered within this program.

Executive Coaching has its genesis from the world of athletics where elite athletes have for decades used coaches to elevate their performance to achieve their goals. Similar to the athletic world, owners and executives have increasingly engaged Executive Coaches to improve 2 critical aspects of leadership – personal and business effectiveness. It is an old cliché but accurate – it’s lonely at the top. It is equally true that finding independent, objective, experienced and unbiased advice can be the difference between an average performance and an extraordinary one. It’s about realizing your Vision and effectively managing change.

At SUCCESS ELEMENTS we understand the fine line between taking it over the top and missing a rung on the ladder. Our Executive Coaching program is unique in that it deals with both a) the high value immediate impact issues, and b) the longer term strategic challenges…en route to building a strong business platform with best practices and alignment throughout.

Program participants meet with their Certified Professional Business Coach from Success Elements on a weekly or bi-weekly basis for up to 90 minutes. In addition, the coach works with you to confirm and / or identify strategies, tactics and action plans that make sense for your business and situation. Equally important, all participants are held accountable for the implementation of strategies and actions agreed upon for their respective businesses with the support of their coach.

Business Coaching at the executive level is the catalyst to making vast improvements in an executive’s Personal and Business effectiveness. A snapshot of topics that can be covered include:
