Coach Cliff Happy to Join BusinessCoach.com
My name is Cliff Jones and I’m new to BusinessCoach.com. I have been consulting and coaching since 1991 and just completing my coaching certification. I live in Scottsdale, Arizona and have worked most recently with a Certified Public Accounting firm, a mortgage bank and a foreclosure wholesaling company. I am extremely pleased to be learning and applying new coaching methodologies. The new skills I am learning as a business coach are a wonderful compliment to the coaching and consulting I’ve been doing over the years.
I have committed to Coach Gary and the entire team at Businesscoach.com to blog on a regular basis. Please feel free to post your comments and contribute as you see fit. We’ll eventually have many more coaches contributing as well. The overall goal is to make the Businesscoach.com blog more informative by communicating powerful ideas to help business owners, entrepreneurs, and corporate executives transform themselves and their organizations. This is also intended to be a resource for coaches. And let’s not forget non-profits as many of us realize that more and more non-profits are being run with more of a business approach. It’s just as competitive for them and they benefit from coaching too!

In response to your comment concerning non-profits - You are on target in recognizing that many are running with more of a business approach because they have learned many lessons of how to best succeed in being responsible for many of their members' and benefactors' donations. Often times, non-profits lose sight of their mission by not communicating it properly or often enough to their membership and leadership. I have various experience in both creating and leading non-profit organizations, both philanthropic and professional, and find that the most successful are those that follow best practices by holding annual retreats for their leadership and active members. These retreats address what is working best for them, what does not work, and what has been missing in their organizations. Then a plan is developed to improve the organizations performance as it relates to their mission and core values. A great resource that I use in facilitating annual retreats for non-profits is Jim Collins’ monograph, Good to Great and the Social Sector, and its application of the Hedgehog concept.
Best of Success!
