Master licensees Craig and Annette Hohnberger are game changers. The clients who work with them see an increase in revenues, morale, and growth. That’s why it was no surprise to the ActionCOACH community when the couple announced last month that they had won the 2018 Pickerington Ohio Area Chamber Business of the Year award.

The pair, who have been in business for more than 18 years, beat out dozens of other businesses in the running for the prestigious award. Such a distinguished designation positively impacts the ActionCOACH reputation within the community, and further credibly brands the Hohnberger’s as experts in the field.

“It’s like our motto ‘Real people, real results’ says,” Annette said. “Well, we are definitely real people. And we get real results. Those are just the facts.”

Criteria used for judging the awards included job creation/expansion and customer service, to name only a few.

According to Annette, in 2018 their successes included the creation of many jobs through client expansions and the addition of internal team members, expanded client new product lines, increased revenue and doubled salary for business owners, saving a marriage through coaching, international recognition for a client who was featured on HGTV, and happy business owners who have been able to take family vacations for the first time in years.

“These successes are really just a testament to our commitment to the success of our clients,” Annette said. “It’s really not about what we did, but what our clients did through our support. We are in the business of changing lives, and that makes it the most amazing business on the planet. We are humbled and honored to be a part of ActionCOACH.”

Reason #1: Different styles and methods of business coaching don't work for everyone

It's important to be honest with yourself and conduct a realistic assessment when it comes to business coaching. Though business coaching can have many benefits, it might not work for everyone.

Every individual brings their own experiences and values to the coaching dynamic, so results will vary. Additionally, some individuals might need more than just a coach. They might also need specialised knowledge or communication strategies specific to their industry or target audience. Below are a few key factors to consider:

Reason #2: There is no clear focus or vision (talk about time dedication here too)

cIt's important to be honest with yourself and conduct a realistic assessment when it comes to business coaching. Though business coaching can have many benefits, it might not work for everyone.

Business coaching is an effective tool for developing a clearer focus and vision for growing your business. A good coach will help you to take a comprehensive look at your strengths, weaknesses, and available resources that can be used to reach those goals. They will also help you draw up action plans with step-by-step instructions to get there.

By providing honest feedback and being patient throughout the process, a business coach can make sure that you’re on the right track. This will enable you to set realistic milestones and tasks.

These tasks may need dedicated time outside of coaching sessions. For example, a coach might help a client develop a marketing strategy or implement new systems for managing employees. However, if the client does not have enough time to devote to these tasks outside of coaching sessions, progress will likely stall.

Both the coach and the client must have enough time available to reflect on past experiences, brainstorm new solutions, and test out different strategies. If either party is rushed or distracted during coaching sessions due to other commitments or obligations, they may struggle to fully engage in this process.

Effective business coaching also requires a commitment to regular meetings and ongoing communication. If either the coach or the client does not have enough time to dedicate to these meetings, progress may be slow or nonexistent.

It's important to recognise that business coaching is an ongoing process that takes time to yield results. While some clients may see improvements after just a few sessions with their coach. Others may need months or even years of consistent effort before they begin seeing real changes in their businesses.
