Need to Clarify Your Strategies to Realize Your Business’ Potential? 

Contact Lisa Levesque from FocalPoint Coaching and Training.

High-growth businesses go through constant change, so how do you navigate the challenges that come with explosive business growth?

At FocalPoint Coaching and Training, we have comprehensive experience developing businesses and teaching senior managers, business owners, and leadership teams new ways to drive and manage growth.

We know all about the benefits that business coaching can offer ambitious business managers and owners. Coaching helps them spend time working on the business instead of at the business. It adds clarity, structure, and challenge to the strategy development process and accelerates business growth. 

To give you a better idea of what business coaching can do for you, we wanted to share how we helped a manufacturing company in the packaging industry reach its goals.

Challenges Facing the Company

A family-owned company hired us to facilitate an intergenerational change in leadership. The new leader was at the beginning of his career and needed coaching in leadership as well as key operational concepts. The company has historically been very successful despite the fact that they did not consistently rely on operational metrics for decision making. 

How Did We Help?

Through the coaching relationship, FocalPoint and the client focused on two specific tracks: 1) leadership development and 2) operational efficiencies.  While they started slow in introducing operational metrics, favorable results were realized in only a few months.

Results Achieved 

After working together for a short time, the new leader has developed a deeper understanding of the importance of clear communication and leadership. He has learned how to establish a rapport with his team, set appropriate expectations, and hold them accountable for results.

Operationally, the company had several inefficiencies in the end-to-end manufacturing process, which lead to higher costs and late deliveries.  Working with his coach, the leader introduced time standards for each manufacturing department and is working to identify and remove bottlenecks. He established a weekly operations meeting in order to hold the manufacturing team accountable to the process and allow them to be part of the solution. The team is beginning to use the newly established metrics and is working together to improve the processes.
