Executive Coaching for Family Businesses

The Network of Family Businesses has scheduled a virtual educational seminar with Kathi M Smith, ACC, CPC, ELI-MP to learn and discuss Executive Coaching for Family Businesses. The seminar is scheduled for Wednesday, March 21st, at 11:00 AM EST.

In a White Paper for The Network of Family Businesses, Kathi states it is easy to think of the term coaching when we think of the sports or entertainment industry. We know that the person or team being coached is not only learning the physical skills of their craft but equally important is identifying what drives them to succeed. A coaching partnership in the Family Business incorporates communication and leadership skills that may be used to increase your influence with others. Not over them but with them. Influence is leadership and communication builds confidence allowing you to grow yourself and your business.

People have limiting beliefs and habits that may prevent them from being able to utilize their best skills. What beliefs or habits do you or your teams possess which prevent the ability to move forward? Just like in sports, a personal development coaching partnership encourages, supports, and builds confidence to bring out the best in an individual or team to accomplish their purpose and established goals.

As a coach to family owned businesses, Kathi takes their entrepreneurial spirit to encourage and motivate them to move from where they are, to where they want to be. Kathi is a full time coach and is one of 80 coaches certified in the state of NJ through the International Coaching Federation. She is also a certified Energy Leadership Index – Master Practitioner, which concentrates on core values and unique energy levels we devote to the primary areas of our life each day.

Prior to her coaching career Kathi was in the financial field for 15 years as a successful Sales Account Executive at PHH/Cendant watching the firm grow from 85 employees to a corporation of over 7,000 team members. She worked as a Financial Consultant with Smith Barney and saw the challenges of family owned businesses in passing wealth. She has written the program FAITHThinking which was born through her coaching practice and personal experience as she realized that how we view our Future, our Attitude, what Inspires us, our Thoughts and Habits determine the success we will have each day.
