Jeff Schuster combines over 30-years of certified business coaching experience with life coaching skills to help his clients break through external and internal obstacles. This experience includes starting, growing, and selling a multi-million-dollar business. This means you get business knowledge and experience that you won’t get from life coaches. You also gain mindset coaching that business consultants lack. Jeff offers a diverse set of coaching methods including: individual coaching, online training, and workshops. All of his services are more affordable than expensive business coaches and more effective than life coaches posing as business experts.
You will invest 50 minutes in each coaching session. You will create your action plan at the end of each coaching session. These actions are designed to integrate with your current work load and move you forward in the objectives you’ve identified within the coaching relationship. Most clients make substantial progress in key business areas within 12 coaching sessions.
I offer three coaching packages: Logjam Breaker (2 sessions); Current Builder (6 sessions); and Strategic Current (12 sessions).
Logjam Breaker is intended to help you overcome a specific obstacle that has bogged you down.
Current Builder is intended to dig deeper into larger challenges that take time to fully define and resolve.
Strategic Current takes on systemic challenges that have several moving parts and people.
Pick the package that is best for you. The cost per session is lower the longer you engage me as a coach.
Each coaching package is has a specific duration in number of coaching sessions.
In business coaching there are two distinct obstacles that my clients experience: 1) internal; and 2) external.
An internal obstacle is a way of thinking that prevents my client from moving forward. When I encounter an internal obstacle, I use Life Coaching skills; and ask powerful open-ended questions to help my clients expand their thinking to navigate their way forward.
An external obstacle is often based on a lack of knowledge, finances or inexperience. I either advise my client, if I have the required knowledge, or we strategize on methods of overcoming this obstacle.
I combine both techniques in coaching sessions to ensure my clients achieve the success they desire.
Results vary from client to client based on their stated goals in our coaching relationship. Most clients achieve financial results in excess of fees they pay me as their coach. My clients improve their business finances by gaining more clients and increasing profitability.
My clients also gain: vision, clarity, leadership skills, communication skills, work/life balance, life enjoyment, and ability to delegate.
At the end of the initial Discovery Session, I will give you an expectation of how I can help and the results you can expect to achieve.
All coaching sessions are conducted over a Zoom call. You will get calendar invites for each coaching session. You can use your video camera in the call, or use audio only. Most calls are scheduled between 9 am and 3 pm (U.S. Mountain Time), Monday through Thursday.
We will routinely discuss information that is confidential in nature. My clients share personal life situations as well as proprietary business information with me in our coaching sessions. A confidentiality agreement is part of every coaching contract. I don’t share information you share with me in a coaching session unless you authorize me in writing. In cases where I coach competitors within the same industry, I divulge the nature of the potential conflict to my clients in advance.
The best way to determine if you will benefit from business coaching with me, is to purchase the Business Clarity Audit. You will complete a questionnaire about your business. I will review your answers and create a 7-10 minute video highlighting areas of need and some brief recommendations. You will see how I problem-solve and get first-hand experience of what benefit you will gain from hiring me as your business coach.
A Business Clarity Audit is a concise process for quickly identifying challenges and solutions in your business. You complete a questionnaire about your business. I review your answers and create a review of your business. I will offer actionable steps in a 7-10 minute video. You can use this video to improve your business right away. If you believe my advice is something you’d like more of, you can engage me as your business coach.
I schedule coaching sessions using an online scheduler. Most clients schedule two coaching sessions per month on a certain day and time of the month, such as the 1st and 3rd Wednesday at 9:00 a.m. This way, you gain a consistent rhythm of coaching sessions and action. The scheduling appointments will be e-mailed to you and loaded into your calendar app. You will be given a link to change any appointment to any other available time/day on my calendar. You will also be e-mailed a reminder the day before a scheduled session.
I offer unlimited e-mail correspondence between coaching sessions. Since I am coaching other clients during the day, a response to your specific request may be delayed until I check my e-mail later in the afternoon.
If you want to continue coaching after you have used the allotted sessions in a package, you are free to purchase another coaching package. If you have completed 12 sessions, additional sessions are available for $800 per 2 sessions.
All coaching packages are paid for on a monthly basis. The Logjam Breaker package is paid in a single payment of $1,250. The Current Builder package is paid $1,000 per month for 3-months. The Strategic Current package is paid $800 per month for 6-months. The primary difference in each package is the number of months you will be obligated to pay. If you continue with monthly coaching, you will be billed $800 per month for 2 sessions per month.
I used to offer a complimentary Discovery Session. I liked the calls, but they often were casual rapport-building conversations that went nowhere. I now offer a Business Clarity Audit. This process delivers valuable and actionable insight right away.
