Here at ActionCOACH West Herts we recently awarded Michelle from Graze Life our Coaches Fast Start Award. This award was given to Michelle as we feel she was the client that had made the most significant progress working on their business. This award recognises mindset, action and the achievement of goals.
Over just a few months Michelle has worked in with her business with her coach to …
- Deliver the key business goals they defined together:
- Contracting services of a Baker, to provide a flexible & scalable solution to baked goods, previously identified as one of the time bottle necks when operating solo. Coach encouraged Michelle to think beyond employees as solution for Operations. Taking action on this from negotiations and quality standards setting made it happen
- Michelle embraced new recruitment methods and approach to team, with pace to ensure goal of a flexible team of makers and drivers were in place for Christmas. Not only is the team in place, they are now fully briefed on the culture, standards and ethos of the business. They have joined a start-up and have the opportunity to grow with it. James’ idea of the org chart with ?’s in was well received at the team briefing. A staff incentive to help drive sales is also in place.
- New premises found which Graze Life has just moved into.
- 90 Day goals set and being aligned to financial planning (for the first time)
James who coached Michelle and couldn’t be happier with her progress:
‘Speaking to Michelle both before and after her team meeting felt like speaking to a new person. The spark and the passion was alive (it’s always been there and is evident in the presentation of her brand and products), having people in her team was clearly not just about getting stuff done, satisfying more orders, freeing her into bigger things etc – it was the beginnings of her Graze Life community, one l she will enjoy leading and growing with the business.’
