About Focal Point Edmonton

“We were lost working in the business and had no idea how to break out of the loop to grow our business. That's when we met Jeff McLarty at an event, and we resonated with him right from our very first conversation. Fast-forward a few months and after completing our first training, we now have a much clearer idea of how to navigate forward, track our results, and plan for scaling the business. He helped us to define a clear structure to our business and gave visibility on what was missing. Beyond being a great business coach, Jeff is also a wonderful human being. Thank you, Jeff!”

“I had the pleasure of working closely with Jeff during his contract with Qdot Technology. I can say with confidence that he is a great addition to any organization. He is diligent, professional, insightful, and highly adept at strategic thinking. As a technology development company, having someone with his business acumen involved was very helpful in refining our vision for the future. If our paths cross again in the future, I would not hesitate to work with him.”

“Jeff did a great time management workshop for our non-profit organisation! He was able to tailor the content for our needs and was great to work with. Highly recommend.”

“Jeff is absolutely wonderful to work with. He is a wealth of information and was able to tailor each session to my needs. He helped me with practical strategies to lead and grow my organization, theoretical backgrounds for team-building and task development, and provided supportive mentorship as I applied the things I learned. He is calm, engaging, well prepared, and a very enjoyable person to be around. I highly recommend Jeff as a business coach. Both I and my organization have benefited from working with Jeff. Thank you so much, Jeff!”

Working with Jeff and Focal Point has been an absolute game-changer for Zero-Defect Canada. As an IT entrepreneur and a newcomer from Brazil, the initial challenge of entering the Canadian market, especially navigating the unique business customs and network here in Edmonton, was immense. Jeff provided not just mentorship, but strategic clarity that immediately accelerated our operations. He helped us transform general business ideas into actionable strategies, which was critical for a company like ours. His insight into the local ecosystem allowed us to quickly pivot and focus our efforts where they matter most, saving us months of guesswork. I highly recommend his expertise to any business looking to successfully establish and scale their operations in Canada. Thank you, Jeff, for your mentorship and support.

"Working with Jeff has been truly eye-opening and informative. He has a rare ability to take business concepts I thought I understood well and explain them in five minutes so clearly that it feels like I'm learning them for the first time. His insights have had a massive impact on moving my business forward. Highly recommended!"

"Jeff did some training and DISC profiles for our team at Norwood Dental Centre. His session with us was engaging, informative, and fun. Our team left with practical insights on how they can communicate better with one another and our patients. I especially appreciated Jeff’s efforts to relate and integrate his training into our “real lives” running a dental clinic; this direct connection makes it easier for the team to action their learning and integrate it into their practice. Thank you, Jeff!"

"Jeff has been such a rock, supporting our business through its early stages. His approach and proficiency in dealing with high-level executive functions has reduced the burden of strategic isolation experienced by startup founders. He has helped shape our financial strategy with practicality and pragmatism. If you're a business owner or entrepreneur in a bit over your head, then Jeff is the calm, assuring, and grounding presence that you need. Personable, experienced, and wise, he will surely help you sift through the noise and find your Focal Point."
