Business Coaching
Business leaders are aggressively looking for answers to overcome the obstacles that surround the building and maintaining of a business in today's fast paced and often 'insane' world. Over the last ten years the 'rules for doing business' have changed tremendously. Even the most successful professionals are besieged by challenges on every side: increased regulation, constant technology demands, working longer hours, more competition for less business, and personal and professional burnout.
Traditionally business leaders have gone into 'overdrive' by working longer hours and pushing harder. Not only does this tend to erode relationships (staff, clients, colleagues, family) but takes a tremendous toll on health and well being. This reactive approach is not the answer. In order to surpass this new and often hostile business climate, the professional will require fundamental changes in the way they structure strategize and implement systems.
Judy Irving coaches professionals and business leaders who are tired of working nights and weekends to get the results they want. Irving's clients report a dramatic increase in business, sometimes 20% -30%, while enhancing their lifestyle. This means they can take nights and weekends off, even vacations without calling into the office. She coaches Executives to create optimistic and empowered teams while having the time to enjoy life.

Coaching Success Story
When I met Ted he had made some poor decisions in choosing his past business partners and consequently his finances had hit bottom a couple of years before he came to work with me. Two things were going on when we met, one he working nights and weekends, with little money and no time for family and self care - therefore he was overweight and out of shape. Second, because of his bad experiences with his previous partners, he wouldn't let go of control. He did most of the work himself, with only a part-time receptionist and brought his wife into the office one day a week. Ted was on the road to 'no where' fast.
Fortunately he trusted me. Because of this trust and his willingness to look at life from a different perspective, try my systems and take some calculated risks - several things happened. He got on track physically, he started sleeping well, he learned to block time and hired a full-time assistant. He even brought his wife into the office three days a week. Because Ted learned to create templates, set up systems and delegate, he now had time to market his business.
The result: in just over a year, Ted's income and confidence tripled. He was able to take evenings and weekends off, as well as every other Friday. Because he now shared more of his life with his wife, she learned to understand Ted's business challenges. Therefore she began to take on more ownership of both the successes and the worries. And even more importantly she began to see her husband in a very different light than she had when she'd been focused only on his past business failures.
Do you see how it all works together? Creating a balanced life and a profitable business is very possible with the right attitude, the right tools, the right systems and right team AND the right advisor in place.
