Some, like be 100s CEO David R. Duerson of Fair Oaks Farms in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, have consulted coaches like A. Ray Charles of Chicago to help them evaluate their performance.
...
"Charles gives me the spiritual side of being a CEO, and gets back to me with what is the biblical perspective on my business.There's something about having that verifier that gives you confidence," he adds.That reassurance can be a vital element for entrepreneurs, since there may not be the benefit of a formalized corporate structure or that experience in a CEO's background.
Says Charles: "Entrepreneurs who seek our service have a desire to do what's right in God's eye in their business and personal relationships.My role as a coach is to reveal the right principle, process and position that will empower them to pursue not only a good plan, but a God-centered plan."
"Unlike a management consultant, an executive coach does not come in and fix the problem for you, then leave.A coach partners with you to elicit how to resolve issues and achieve your goals.
