Why Successful Business Coaches Join the PBCA
Are You as Successful as You Can Be?
For some successful coaches, they are out of time and would like to work less but earn the same or more. Others grow tired of helping clients tackle the same old problems and seek more challenging clients and work. Still others would like to win exciting new clients more efficiently, then start to build a small firm. And one more: many successful coaches look for better, faster ways to help their clients. Read on to learn what joining our community can mean to you.
What Joining Our Community Can Mean to You
Practices
Learn what has made others like you successful and adopt those best practices. Within the PBCA there are many highly successful coaches and consultants—and most made it using different techniques, tools, and tactics. As each top performer joins the PBCA, we all benefit by sharing those ideas. We are all independent and working in different niches, so we do not worry about competition among us.
Skills
Lift your skills from good to great in business development and delivery of services. All successful members are smart, and so are the clients we serve. But even smart people need to continuously improve, whether it is how we market and sell our services, or how we deliver our work. As members, we all coach each other (when requested) so that we each enjoy more success with less effort.
Relationships
Build relationships with people in your line of work whom you like. Business coaching and consulting as an independent can become lonely. We are the people senior executives and owners turn to, but who can we turn to? Along with the development of relationships come friendships. Some are more professional in nature; others become personal. Yet most of those in the PBCA for a few years or more come to truly enjoy this community.
Partners
Partner with other members to tackle bigger opportunities. Most of us love our independence and chose not to join a big firm. But as small firms, some opportunities are too large to tackle alone. With the trust that develops between veteran, high producing members comes the opportunity for collaborations on a larger scale.
Develop a Peer Group
Meet us at twice annual in-person gatherings and more frequent video-based peer groups. As a member, you can reach out to any other member at any time by picking up the phone. Our culture is to help each other.
Veteran business coaches would be your peers. When you reach out to us, we can make introductions so you can learn their experience with PBCA firsthand.
Certification Is the First Step in Membership
In order to become a PBCA Member, PBCA CPBC Certification is required. Whether you are currently a business coach, or looking to become one, our certification equips individuals for coaching excellence. For existing business coaches and advisors, we offer an accelerated certification process.
