Business Coaching

Burckhardt has been supporting entrepreneurs, business owners, members of senior management, and self-employed professionals with business coaching services for a number of years. Some clients are finding coaching to be of great value.

Consulting does not always serve clients best, since the consultant’s experience may not be directly relevant or sufficiently deep, and the client briefing may be incomplete.

In addition, despite our good intentions, we sometimes have a built-in resistance to advice given from the outside and by a “specialist”. In contrast, coaching is client driven and action oriented.

Keeping your bearing in the high seas of business

Why Use a Business Coach

Coaching provides the following benefits:

• Support for the efforts you are already making
• Clarity to move you to your own decision making
• Action items ready for your implementation

The main reason for the popularity and effectiveness of coaching is its support of the client’s own agenda. Coaching drives towards change and facilitates not only better thinking and planning, but far more effective implementation.

In addition to coaching and consulting, Stephan Burckhardt has also been mentoring BCom and MBA students.

Relevant Coaching and Business Experience

Stephan has been advising individuals for many years in communications, business and personal matters. His relevant business experience goes beyond communications, marketing and strategy.

Burckhardt bought a floundering business in a management buy-out. It had 125 employees and had been losing money for several years in a row. He restructured it, spun off and sold several businesses and successfully turned the company around in less than five years.

He changed the company image from that of a stuffy has-been to a leading edge, go-to service agency that both employees and customers wanted to be associated with. In five short years, he made it a market leader in two specialty areas, and returned it to profitability.

Working with one of the top five M&A consultancies worldwide, he then created an extensive marketing document, negotiated with potential buyers and successfully sold his main business to a subsidiary of a global industry leader.

As owner, CEO and chairman, Stephan achieved an ROI of 20x while maintaining an employee turnover of 10% in an industry that averaged 25%.

Your assistance and experience in setting goals, your focused planning and of course your positive encouragement continues to help me as I work through the challenges my business and personal growth present me with.

- Pat Sullivan, Principal, TCO Systems

While we had to adapt our business to a changing market environment, Stephan sparked and supported our thinking through coaching. These sessions helped us take a fresh look at certain strategic options, make important decisions and take advantage of new opportunities.

I have found Stephan to be a good listener and a quick mind. His coaching has been very cost-effective and helpful.
