1-on-1 Coaching for Owner Managers in Edmonton

Helping you work on the business, not be stuck in it.

When they call you “the owner” it has a deeper meaning than “the boss”. It means you can’t quit, no matter what happens.

You know what the weight of real responsibility feels like, and you chose this path. Your team depends on you, your business depends on you, and your family depends on you.

We know how blurry the line between you “the person” and you “the business” can be, and we respect it. We coach you to find balance, set clear priorities, lead your team, and develop your management abilities to meet the challenges your growing business presents.

How 1-on-1 coaching works for Edmonton leaders

Step 1: We Listen

We know that you are the expert in your business, we start all engagements by interviewing you to understand what’s going well and what you would like to be different.

Working alongside you we map how your business gets done, your team environment, financial metrics, mindset and more.

Step 2: We Ask

Once we know where you are, we help you gain clarity on where you would like to be.

We support you in setting and clarifying goals and identifying gaps.

Step 3: We Deliver

Now that we know where you are and also where you want to be with your business, we design a customized development plan with specific training objectives, clear deliverables, timelines and expected benefits.

Step 4: We Arrive & Evaluate

What makes our coaching programs different is that they always come with a defined end date from the very start.

That way there are no awkward, “when are we done this” conversations.

We design coaching programs to help you accomplish your own specific goals and we deliver.

When we reach the end of our agreement, we will then review progress together and decide on next steps, if any are needed.

Step 5: We Wait & Support

Upon completion of a successful development program, like your other professional advisors, we go on “standby” mode.

Here if you need us, but not driving up your expenses.

Some clients enjoy our optional quarterly support program where we schedule periodic sessions to assist you with accountability and support as you work towards achieving your goals.

Client Testimonials

Leaders judge by outcomes. Edmonton owners and executives report faster decisions, accountable teams, and time back after 1-on-1 coaching with Focal Point Edmonton. Here’s what they say.

“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!”
