A free seminar - Six Steps to a Better Business, is being held on Tuesday 23 June for Cardiff business owners and leaders.

 

The benefits of business coaching will be explained by Chris Gibbons of ActionCOACH which he will demonstrate with case studies of local businesses. Chris promises that delegates will leave the seminar with the energy, vision and focus that they need for the next level of their business, with the strategies to build their profits. All delivered in a down to earth, practical and jargon-free way.

 

Chris Gibbons said:

“it worries me how many businesses fail. Most were or could have been great businesses but the owners has just got caught up in the day-to-day running of the business. Our Clients are coached to spend more time working on their business rather than it it. All it takes is a little focus in the right areas. This is something I will demonstrate during this seminar.”

 

There will also be opportunities for delegates to network.

 

This event is at The Park House Club, 20 Park Place, Cardiff, from 9.00am until noon. To book, which is essential,  or for further details call 01633 810928. For more information about  Chris Gibbons including testimonials from business owners that he has coached, visit his website at www.actioncoach.com.
