In the dynamic realm of entrepreneurship and small business ownership, one undeniable truth prevails: the significance of guidance, support, and accountability.
Despite their expertise and fervour, many entrepreneurs find themselves overwhelmed, struggling to strike the right balance between working on their business and working in their business.
Recognizing this challenge, the business coaching network Impactified embarked on an inspiring journey to team up with partners and create not just one, but two coaching clinics to empower entrepreneurs and small business owners.
Business coaching clinics: the vision
The Impactified journey started with a powerful vision to provide transformative coaching experiences that would empower entrepreneurs and small business owners.
The team acknowledged the complexities of entrepreneurial life on the one hand, and the limitations of traditional coaching methods in addressing the unique needs and challenges faced by business owners on the other hand.
Driven by a desire to make a genuine impact, we thus decided to establish a coaching clinic concept with strategic partners, that would serve as a catalyst for growth, innovation, and personal development.
– A unique approach to empower entrepreneurs.
To create a truly meaningful impact, Impactified crafted an approach that went beyond generic advice and offered tailored solutions to entrepreneurs of all types. Whether their business generated a hundred million dollars in revenue or barely launched a new offering, the point was to make an impact on their journey.
Months were dedicated to designing unique tools that seamlessly integrated coaching methodologies with business acumen. And even more energy was invested in building ways to deliver those methodologies: in person for those who need a personal push, through courses and online materials for those who want to get going on their own, and through business coaching clinics for those who just needed an occasional push in their own environment.
The objective was clear: to help entrepreneurs break free from the daily operational grind and focus on strategic thinking, goal setting, and long-term visioning, but also team development and creative thinking.
Two business coaching clinics set in Hong Kong
During the second quarter of 2023, Impactified opened two business coaching clinics in Hong Kong, in partnership with selected and highly entrepreneur-friendly organizations.
In partnership with Blueprint, a co-working space owned by Swire, Impactified gave entrepreneurs and their teams access to a business coach in residence, one day each week. For those who need a quick brainstorming session or get stuck with a problem, what could be better than a private sounding board?
Unsurprisingly, the concept rapidly gained popularity among entrepreneurs, and soon enough, this led to the expansion of the concept into another business coaching clinic in partnership with The Executive Center, a prominent office space provider across Asia.
Why is the concept successful? Because the coaching clinic’s holistic approach allows participants to delve deep into their business challenges, uncover hidden obstacles, and explore innovative solutions. Through personalized one-on-one coaching sessions and engaging group workshops, entrepreneurs gain invaluable insights, strategies, and access to a supportive network.
Transforming Perspectives for Success
One remarkable aspect of Impactified‘s business coaching clinic lies in its ability to shift perspectives.
Entrepreneurs often enter the clinic feeling overwhelmed and trapped in the day-to-day operations of their businesses. Through targeted coaching techniques, our business coach in residence helps them shift their mindset, enabling them to see beyond immediate tasks and embrace a more strategic approach.
This transformative shift empowers entrepreneurs to envision a future where they can truly work on their business, driving growth and achieving their goals.
Nurturing Long-Term Success
Recognizing that sustainable success requires ongoing support and guidance, Impactified goes beyond providing a one-time engagement.
The business coaching clinics foster long-term relationships with entrepreneurs, ensuring continuous access to coaching resources, accountability measures, mastermind groups, and networking opportunities.
By nurturing this supportive ecosystem, Impactified enables entrepreneurs to consistently tap into a wealth of knowledge, mentorship, and inspiration throughout their business journey!
Business Coaching Clinics: Concrete Applications
“The Impactified business coaching clinic has produced remarkable outcomes, showcasing the tangible benefits entrepreneurs have experienced through their participation”, said Samuel Demarais, business coach and General Manager of Impactified in Hong Kong.
– Networking Mastery:
Entrepreneurs who attended the Impactified networking skills workshops were able to take their networking efforts to the next level. They gained an opportunity to work with a coach who provided them with a valuable tool for framing and monitoring their network.
This allowed them to track their connections, nurture relationships, and seize new opportunities. As a result, these entrepreneurs were able to establish stronger connections, expand their professional networks, and unlock new business prospects.
– Strategic Business Planning:
We often see business owners approach strategic business thinking and funding research with vague and impractical business plans found on the internet. Recognizing their limitations and the lack of depth of their first attempts, they however seek feedback and guidance from the coaching clinic.
Through a series of focused questions and discussions, these entrepreneurs gain clarity on essential aspects they had overlooked.
Our coaches can also introduce the Impactified proprietary business plan tool, which rapidly helps develop a robust and comprehensive plan and makes a real difference.
Armed with this new plan, business owners can then present a compelling vision and plan to potential investors and secure funding to launch a new business line.
As Antoine Martin, Impactified Co-Founder often says, “nobody cares about your business plan if all you have to offer is a bland piece of paper. What matters is to show you have a business with a plan” – this is precisely what the business coaching clinic is there to help with.
– Team Support
Entrepreneurs don’t just work on their own, they also have teams who also benefit from business coaching sessions.
Sometimes the sessions help them solve a problem. Sometimes they help them with handling their coworkers and becoming better managers and leaders. And sometimes they help with adding a dose of creative thinking into the discussion – a precious insight that really makes a difference.
– Holistic Support:
The Impactified business coaching clinic extend beyond business challenges and provide support for non-business issues as well.
When individuals face personal challenges, the clinic offers referrals to professionals in their extensive network, such as life coaches, accountants, lawyers, and more.
By connecting participants with these experts, Impactified ensures they receive comprehensive assistance and guidance to address various aspects of their lives.
This holistic approach acknowledges the interconnectedness of personal and professional well-being and supports entrepreneurs in achieving overall success.
