What is the difference between executive and business coaching?

Executive Coaching primarily focuses on You, the leader or executive and your role in the organization. Together we focus on your role, leadership, decision making, communication and creating and improving processes used. Sessions can also include strategy & planning, building relationships, and problem solving. Although executive coaching can be used by any leader, it is more commonly used by leaders in larger organizations who are looking for tools so they can create and execute their own plans. Executive Coaching is usually a one-to-one relationship between the leader and the coach.

In contrast, business coaching will focus more on current problems and actionable solutions that can be easily implemented. Business coaching will include all aspects of your business – financial, people, marketing, systems and processes, product and services, and business growth. It can also include issues described under executive coaching. At Ignite Leadership we have over 3 decades of experience leading small & medium businesses and non-profits. It is this experience and our approach that helps you boost performance, resolve challenges and be more profitable.

How will working with a Coach help me?

Coaching is a growing in popularity because of the positive return on investment businesses and leaders experience. These positive results occur in businesses of all sizes. One of the key benefits is that coaching will help you identify your own motivation (your driver) and what is most important to you (your values) and the solutions that deliver the outcomes you want. In addition, coaching has been proven to improve self-confidence, performance, communication, personal and professional development, business growth, enhanced relationships, more innovation… to name a few.

I never cease to be amazed at the power of the coaching process to draw out the skills or talent that was previously hidden within an individual, and which invariably finds a way to solve a problem previously thought unsolvable.”– John Russell

How long are coaching terms?

From our experience, most business leaders do best when they commit to a longer term as our work together involves transformation and the achievement of specific agreed upon results. This takes time.

We recognize that starting with a new coach can leave you less confident with a long commitment. Therefore we have Activate (a short jump-start option) that is a 3-month term. It is for a single issue that you are ready to take action on and believe it will be solved in 3 months or less. Our most popular term is our Accelerate 6-month option.

Many of our clients renew their coaching agreements for 1-2 years or more.

Do you have a guarantee in your coaching programs?

Ignite Leadership International®️ agreements include our Participate Or Get Your Money Back Guarantee. If you participate fully, attend all sessions, do the work included in the program and then do not feel you are getting the value you expected, you can receive your money back within the first 30 days with written notice.

What we can confidently say is our programs are about YOU taking positive action to develop a powerful foundation on which to simplify and manage your business & life. When you participate fully, you’ll get the kind of results outlined. If you do not show up for the calls or follow through on the commitments we’ve made together, the only guarantee is that it will not work for you!

If you are purchasing an online course, you can use the link in the product page. You will receive email communication to give instant access immediately after payment is received.

Some of your products have two purchase buttons. Why is that?

We are located in Canada and serve a global client base. As part of our values, we believe that if you are located in Canada and paying using a Canadian bank account or credit card, then you should have the option to pay in Canadian dollars. You pay the same price + GST/HST as our international clients who all pay using US dollars. It’s our way of supporting Canadians while serving the globe in a currency most other coaches use.

I have purchased an online course. What if I have questions or problems, do I have access to a Coach?

Most of our online courses are self-directed so you can complete them at your own pace. In most instances they do not have any coaching connected to them. We do offer a laser coaching program (ActionTakers) that is a great companion to the online courses. These laser sessions are a great option to help you execute changes in your business too. If you want to explore this option, book an ignition call and we can discuss this with you.

You mention your MoreThanGreen™️ program. How does that affect me?

Our MoreThanGreen program is our social and environmental impact plan. As our client, you can be confident that we donate at least 2% of your purchase price to our designated charities. It’s that simple… working with us, helps others!
