What to expect from Business Coaching with Alan Wick
We'll tailor a schedule to suit your needs and we'll work together to achieve your goals.
Initial Consultation & Assessment
The coaching process typically begins with an initial consultation, during which I meet you to understand your needs and goals.
This is followed by a period of assessment, during which I may conduct interviews, collect data, and analyse your business performance.
Based on this assessment, I develop a customised coaching plan for you.
Regular Meetings
I typically meet with my clients regularly, sometimes weekly, sometimes once or twice per month.
This allows me to build a close working relationship with them, and provide tailored guidance and support that is specifically designed to meet each client's unique business needs and goals.
Ongoing Support
Throughout the coaching process, I work closely with you to help you set clear, measurable goals and develop action plans for achieving them.
I also provide ongoing support and guidance to help you stay on track and make progress towards your goals.
Coaching Towards a Secure, Successful Sale
“We want to sell, but will it be enough?”
After 25 years running a successful engineering company, the founders approached me unsure whether a sale would give them the financial security they needed. Alan worked with them to add value ahead of sale, resulting in a transformative outcome and a confident transition. Through a detailed RealityCheck® review, we uncovered a shortfall — but also a hidden asset: a piece of in-house software worth over £1m.
"We’d built a successful business, but weren’t sure selling it would give us the life we wanted. Alan helped us uncover hidden value, strengthen our team, and prepare the business for sale. Two years later, we exited with an eight-figure deal - and total peace of mind.”

FAQs
What is Business Coaching?
Business coaching is a professional and personal service built on trust. It helps entrepreneurs, leaders, managers and executives improve their performance and achieve their goals. It’s generally conducted through regular, structured sessions that aim to enlighten the client’s awareness and adapt their behaviours to achieve more success. Business coaching has become increasingly popular in recent years, as more and more entrepreneurs, leaders, managers and executives recognise the value of having an experienced and objective coach to help them achieve their goals. The benefits of business coaching are numerous, and include improved performance, increased productivity, better time management, enhanced communication skills, and increased confidence and motivation.
What is the role of a Business Coach?
Each business coach will have their own approach, and their own areas of expertise and experience. It's important for you to find a coach with skills and firsthand knowledge in the areas that are most relevant to your business. Also it’s crucial to have aligned core values. As your business coach, it’s my job to increase your capabilities by challenging the status quo, asking you questions and guiding you to find your own answers, rather than telling you how things should be done. I work with clients on a one-to-one basis (meaning one of me with one business at a time), providing guidance, feedback, support, and accountability to help you reach your full potential. I help entrepreneurs, leaders, managers and executives identify their strengths and weaknesses, set goals, and create action plans to achieve them.
Is business coaching worth the investment?
Absolutely. The objective viewpoint from an experienced outsider can be invaluable. I can help you to identify and overcome blockers in your business and help you to unlock your own and your business's potential and get you to where you want to go. Don’t just take my word for it. Two well-known business leaders, Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google, and Bill Gates, Founder of Microsoft, speak to the value of business coaching. After saying, “I don’t really need a coach, I’ve been an experienced CEO for many years,” Schmidt was persuaded to work with an experienced business coach, and was soon convinced. “What stood out is that he excelled with sky-high EQ and knowing people and culture. He understood how to solve human problems and motivate people.” In summary, by providing expert guidance, support, and accountability, business coaching can help clients improve their own and their business’s performance, overcome challenges, and achieve their goals.
