Business and Leadership Coaching
Do you ever ask yourself why did you start out in business? More time and freedom, building your pension pot. Or perhaps you felt you had something to prove and perhaps the money would give you the freedom you want?
The reality for most business leaders at the top or on the Board, is that it’s really hard work and often self-doubt and anxiety get in the way of actually enjoying what you’re doing. It can also be a lonely place where difficult decisions rest heavily on your shoulders.
I’m Tracey Carter, and I’ve had my fair share of challenging times during my 25 years working as a Managing Director, Director and Board Director.
I have set-up and run a multi-million-pound company, won awards for innovation in training, delivered many award-winning projects and gained national recognition for providing quality services.
I’ve lead teams of all shapes and sizes, developing both myself and others to achieve success.
Now, I’m helping other business leaders to achieve their goals and aspirations. I love to see the people I work with succeed and perhaps I can help you too?
Are You Achieving The Success You Deserve?
Hear From My Clients
How Can I Help You?
Business Review
Where are you at right now, and where are you going with your business?
There’s a world of clichés surrounding the words ’Business Review’ and for me, it’s rather simple. I want to hear what you want from your business; what your aspirations are and where you think you are right now.
My job is to then help you plan for the future, see what’s gone wrong in the past and help you get to a better place, with some defined plans. It’s not about you fitting into my plans, it’s about me understanding you.
Marketing My Business
Finding new customers and encouraging them to buy from you is what marketing is all about. And todays marketing landscape has become more fragmented and more difficult to manage than ever before.
My job is to help you focus on getting your house in order, and then understanding where you need to be spending your marketing money in order to get the sales you need for your business.
Leadership & Vision
Why are difficult conversations so difficult?
Running a business isn’t easy and leading others in your team has some big challenges too. If you’re struggling or anxious about your own leadership ability, well, you’re not alone. You need to be strong, resilient and capable, and your team look up to you for those traits. Yet you may not be feeling ‘strong, resilient and capable’ and it’s my job to help you get to a better place.
How Come My Business Isn't Flying?
I’m doing all the hours under the sun – why am I not doing better? It’s the perennial conundrum of so many businesses.
And the truth is, it’s what nearly everyone in business experiences. We all hear about the guy who sold for £30m, and don’t get me wrong, there’s no harm in aspiring to do just that!
My job is to help you get a plan in place to deliver the growth you need to get your business flying just a little higher.
Better Work-life Balance
My family needs me, my business needs me, my customers need me. Where is there time for just me?
How can you balance what looks like an impossible call on your time and energy? Well, for starters, you need some structure, some boundaries and some goals. Perhaps you need to look at yourself too and the things you truly value.
My job is to work with you, challenge you a little and find a way through to achieve a work life balance that puts you at the centre – perhaps for the first time?
Business Coaching
Business coaching means different things to different people.
For me, it’s about creating a safe personal space to confront the challenges of life, business and more. A confidential one-to-one relationship where you can grow, as well as exploring your own issues enabling you to move to a better, more fulfilling place.
My job is to help you create the space and time to help you grow and thrive.
Mental Fitness 6 Week Programme
I’m a business leader, so I need to be tough and resilient, don’t I?
Actually, you don’t. You need to be effective, curious and it’ll do you no harm to be kind too.
And, perhaps obviously, you need to be in the right mental space.
My 6 weeks ‘Mental fitness’ programme helps you build your capacity to deal with life’s challenges with a positive rather than a negative mindset. Over the six weeks we break existing habits and create new ones that allow you to intercept the negative thinking and use the positivity emotions of empathy, curiosity, gratitude, creativity confidence and focused actions.
My Prices
I have worked in public services all my life so charging people for my services is a whole new experience for me. My value system is about giving excellent value, so I have tried to make sure my prices reflect that. I have found collaborating with people for free isn’t valued.
I have also undertaken courses myself that recommend high price coaching means high value another philosophy I don’t support so I am going to be transparent and offer prices that make my services accessible and worth it to your business. I will also tailor my services so contact me for that discussion.
