Frequently Asked Questions

Do you coach businesses outside Lancaster County?

Yes. We coach business owners across Pennsylvania and the world. Many sessions happen by video, and we meet in person in Lancaster County.

What size businesses do you work with?

We work with owner-led companies, family businesses, and leadership teams. The common thread is a leader serious about growth. So whether you are a new startup with a few employees or have over a thousand employees, we are here to help.

How is a business coach different from a consultant?

A consultant hands you a plan. A coach builds the leader who carries the plan out, and holds you accountable until it is done.

Do you work with family-owned businesses?

Yes. Family businesses, succession, and preparing the next generation are a core part of our work.
