Business Coaching, one-on-one (1:1)
Not-so-stuffy mentorship from chicks who speak your language
Meet your coach
Author of The Business Bible for the Unconventional Entrepreneur, Certified Business Coach (UCI)
Hi! I'm Liz London - dog trainer dancer, serial entrepreneur, author, and small business mentor. For the first part of my professional life, I bounced between two passions: animals and dance.
I know what it feels like to hit plateaus and slumps in business.
At one point in my first business, I set out to create a team of advisers, but I didn't like my options. The three coaches I interviewed were older, stuffy men. (Not to sound gender-biased, it's just that in the South, there's still a lot of "darlin' and "sweetheart thrown around, even in business.) They didn't know anything about my industry, and they were plenty condescending.
That's why business coaching with me is different.
I want everyone to feel like their industry is taken seriously. Whether you own a hemp bowtie boutique for hamsters or a pole dance studio, I'll work with you through challenges and help you apply the core conventions of business to your industry, your brand, and your personality style.
But how does it actually work?
How do you like to have conversations?
Phone? Skype? In person? Text? A series of weird gifs?
We meet you were you are.
Most ladybosses prefer a monthly phone call, intermittent emails with homework feedback, and weekly check-in texts for motivation and silliness.
Here's a real example.
Crystal is a jewelry designer who was nervous about her first big marketplace opportunity. This is a peek at a conversation she had with her coach checking in days before the event.
What you get
Sounding board
Bounce around new ideas.
Brainstorm.
Then, get advice on how to implement them.
Advice
I won't tell you what to do.
I will tell you what I know, what I've experienced, and what I've witnessed.
Then we can analyze what might work best for your industry, your brand, and your
personality.
Personalized Goal-setting
Where do you need to be a year from now? 6 months from now? Tomorrow? Your work is unique, your brand is unique, and YOU are unique. We'll set big picture goals with smaller milestones that are measurable, actionable, and maybe a little bit of fun mixed in.
B**** Sessions
Vent your frustrations.
Complain about that terrible client.
Then, get back to work.
Homework
Yes, you'll have homework.
Don't worry, your only grade will be determined by leveling up your business.
Don't like homework? Tough.
Accountability
I'll touch base with you weekly to make sure you're staying on track and to see if any new obstacles have crept in.
