A business coach can provide you with the support, guidance, and accountability you need to develop a winning strategy, overcome challenges, and achieve your goals.

After a hugely successful pilot programme at the beginning of this year we are launching our next six-month business coaching programme on Wednesday 29 November. The interactive, online course is designed specifically for FMB members and delivered by award-winning business coach, Maria Coulter.

And, if your business is CITB-registered you can get this coaching fully funded through the CITB Skills and Training Fund. A great opportunity to get this excellent coaching for free!

What will the coaching programme cover?

Maria Coulter, The Construction Coach, has developed a ‘success path’ for builders, tested with over 100 small to medium sized businesses, which follows these key themes:

  1. Mindset (Motivation and business vision).
  2. Identifying profit stealers and risks.
  3. Improving productivity using tech & innovation.
  4. Winning work and getting paid what you are worth.
  5. Getting the delivery right.
  6. Attracting the right people to work for you.
