Executive Leadership Coach | Keynote Speaker | Corporate Trainer MT2Leadership Premier Executive Coaching Aug 2016 - Present · 6 yrs 8 mosAug 2016 - Present · 6 yrs 8 mos Boise, Idaho AreaBoise, Idaho Area Over 40 Years of Experience as a Leadership Coach and Trainer. I help Executive Leaders using the MT2Leadership 'Dirty Boots Coaching' framework. It's a whole new way for business leaders and owners to see themselves, understand their market and message, and take ownership of their results. The framework helps them overcome a lack of clarity in their offer, correct disjointed marketing strategies, and clears the fog around their buyer's journey that stops them from connecting their product and services with their perfect future customers. Here is how my strategy gets results: > 1. Lay a Foundation to find who, what, and why: a. Conduct a DISC assessment and review with key leaders. b. Get into the trenches on how the company runs to identify strengths and weaknesses. c. Determine the ‘results’ the products and services provide. d. Identify past, present, and future customers that need the 'results.' > 2. Connect the who, what, and why to the company’s value proposition: Help build an understanding of how a ‘givers highway’ brings their ‘results’ to the target market and creates value. a. Help develop a 'results-based' message for the target markets. b. Help leaders understand their marketing strategy. c. Help leaders understand and assess their engagement with the marketing strategy. > 3. Connect the value proposition to the company’s worth: Help leaders take ownership of receiving the fruits of their labor and investing in their future. a. Examine the sales process to make it easy for customers to buy. b. Examine the buyer’s journey and the pipeline of future customers. c. Examine how the company generates worth through investing in employees, the company, future products, and the owner’s dreams. > 4. Go back to the start and refine and monitor to ensure they have awareness, understanding, and ownership of their results. > If your company needs to grow this year, and you're not afraid to get your boots dirty, contact me and arrange a meeting.
