Think in Colour

Science has shown that the left and right sides of our brain deal with different aspects of cognitive function. Our left side is our analytical side - we use this part of our brain in reasoning, rationalizing, and thinking objectively. Our right side is emotional, creative, and impulsive in nature.

As we problem-solve challenges in our lives, both sides of our brain work together to evaluate the situation and think through an appropriate solution. Both sides are also active as we learn - if we stimulate both sides of the brain we are better able to internalize concepts, remember them, and actively pursue appropriate practical implementation.

At my seminars, we dispose of traditional pens containing blue or black ink. Instead, participants are required to use coloured markers to take notes and complete worksheets. This simple modification to the learning process encourages the attentive left side and the visual right side of our minds to engage together and focus as much cognitive energy as possible on the concept being presented. The outcome is sometimes startling; participants have experienced an increased ability to comprehend, retain, and capitalize on the material being mastered. Creative thought combines with factual knowledge of business processes, and lively discussions on a variety of issues in the business world surface. Amazing value is added to these seminars as we apply key principles to real-life situations, and it never fails that every participant leaves with new ideas, new ways of considering challenges, and an increased desire to overcome the obstacles that keep them from achieving their goals in business and in life.

If you are unable to make time for my upcoming events, please take the time to change up your writing utensils. Put the plain pens aside and start thinking in colour. See for yourself how seemingly simple changes can bring about amazing results. 



What Are Business Owners Saying?

A Business Coach will tell you what you didn't know you didn't know about business. There is always room for positive change and improvement; if you think you know it all about how to dominate your industry, you just made your first mistake.

If we haven't spoken yet, it isn't because you don't know how to contact me. Whatever your reason is, don't let it be the small obstacle that kept you from getting massive results. Does your competition have a coach? What will have to happen before you will take action? Will it be too late?

Don't settle for anything less than the best - the numbers don't lie. Real results are real results - ask me what my quantitative results are. If your tooth still hurts after visiting the dentist, something didn't go right. If your car still growls after a tune-up, something wasn't done properly. And if your business isn't running better with a Business Coach, it may be time to re-evaluate the situation.

SO WHAT ARE YOU STILL WAITING FOR?

Here's what some of the people I've worked with are saying:

"The Downtown Business Revitalization Zone has partnered with Action Coach on a number of business building workshops for our members. These workshops are very popular with our members. We always receive positive feedback from workshop attendees who greatly benefit from the professional coaching expertise provided by Action Coach. We would highly recommend Action Coach to anyone looking to positively impact the way they do business."

-‐ Ted Stilson, Executive Director, Downtown BRZ and Lethbridge Main Street Project

"Action Coach really know what they are doing. Allow me to explain; if you were an airline pilot and you were just a few degrees off course you might miss your destination by hundreds of miles. The trouble is that we don't always know what the "few degrees" are in our businesses. Action Coach have the expertise, experience and objectivity to help you take your business to the next level!"

-‐ Peter Etches, General Manager, A.E.Cross Studio

"As I implement the strategies and systems taught in the sessions I have more time, have a better income, and enjoy a better balanced life. I expect that by staying the course I will see my income double over the next year and my stress level continue to decrease."

-‐ Blair Foster, Aurora Capital

"We are now growth oriented and setting goals and actions on a weekly basis. We have been able to make some important changes in the last year and know that with the help of Action Coach we are moving in the right direction."

-‐ Stella Reger, Energy Smart

The Right Tools

No job is going to be easy without the right tools to complete it. In this way, running a business is no different than building a deck. Having all the right pieces is just the first step - being able to strategically place them, have them fit together, and get the most out of them is where a system of business tools comes into play.

The Measuring Tape - Initial Assessments

Some business tools provide initial evaluations and generalizations. For example, are you even ready to become an entrepreneur? A simple test will help you find out. We encourage other assessment mechanisms, such as using our Business Calculators. Initial assessments are key to moving a business forward - if you don't know where you're at, how will you ever know where you're headed?

The Instructions - Educational Resources

Every great business owner has a collection of educational tools that help keep them at the top of their game. It may be a collection of videos, a series of e-books (or a tangible library), membership in a seminar group, or a routine including mental positive reinforcement or consistent reading of newsletters. Whatever the means or the source, every business owner should seek a constant stream of inspiration. Continual growth on the part of the owner means consistent growth on the part of the business. A collection of educational tools is essential.

The Hammer - The Numbers

No matter what industry you're involved in, the numbers for your business provide the most valuable tool of all. Without a bottom line there is nothing to build, improve, adapt or manipulate. If you don't know your numbers and use them to your advantage, you don't know anything at all about your business.

Endless are the tools used by business owners worldwide. Luckily ActionCOACH also spans the globe. ActionCOACH offers the best line of business tools and strategies of any Business Coaching company in the world - the proof is in the results. The strategies that business owners take away from their relationship with ActionCOACH are invaluable. With hundreds of strategies focusing on every aspect of business, from marketing to pricing, from team building to profit margins, ActionCOACH Business Coaches are skilled and experienced in finding the best method for any company to build their bottom line.

Coach David with ActionCOACH Lethbridge brings an amazing background of franchise knowledge and experience to the home playing field of Southern Alberta. Isn't it time that you took advantage of a wealth of proven business systems and strategies?
