    What to Expect

      Coaching begins with listening. Together, the client and coach identify priorities, examine options, and agree on realistic next steps. Clients get the greatest value when they arrive prepared, share accurate information, complete agreed actions, and communicate when their needs change.

      Best For

        Aspiring entrepreneurs, new business owners, and established businesses preparing for growth.

        Eligibility and Availability

          Complimentary coaching is available to for-profit businesses located in Hillsborough, Hernando, Pinellas, Polk, Pasco, or Manatee County. Nonprofit organizations are not eligible.
