Empowering Founders: Building confidence in marketing decisions through leadership coaching

Q: How does it feel when you need to make marketing decisions?
You’re a capable, high performing person, so why does it feel challenging to make marketing decisions?

Q: How does it feel when you’re not seeing the right payback from those marketing decisions?
You love achieving. But if marketing isn’t delivering, if growth isn’t fast enough, it’s frustrating. There can sometimes be a tendency to think you’ll power through this and give it another go. But are you really learning and improving as you go?

Q: How does it feel when your business simply isn’t growing fast enough?
It can be all consuming and overwhelming.

The truth is, doing something you’re not great at, something you’re not trained for, something you’re not properly supported in is an energy drain. It actually prevents you from performing at your best overall, not just in marketing.

Leadership coaching benefits

Leadership coaching can be a game-changer for founders, transforming uncertainty into confidence. It’s not just about advice; it’s about building skills that lead to effective decision-making in marketing. And that helps founders perform better in other areas too.

In his article on leadership coaching for founders, psychologist Richard Hagberg points out:

“Founders often have a natural aversion to structured processes and management tasks, preferring to focus on big-picture ideas.”

Marketing is a whole series of structured processes and management tasks. The term ‘structured’ is important here – and working with an experienced coach can help build that structure for you.

Building confidence in marketing

Do marketing choices sometimes feel like a shot in the dark? Like throwing spaghetti against a wall? You’re not alone.

Many founders struggle with being swayed by an article on the latest trend in social media marketing or a promotion they’ve seen from a competitor.* This leads to flip-flopping and indecision.

Coaching turns indecision into action by equipping you with the right strategies. Through one-on-one sessions, you learn to identify what works for your business. Imagine having a guide by your side, offering tailored advice to navigate complex marketing landscapes. This isn’t just theory; it’s actionable guidance.

The result? Increased confidence in making sound marketing choices. With a coach like me, you gain insights drawn from over 20 years of experience. You’re not just learning; you’re applying strategies that have driven real results.

*Unpopular opinion: I take what competitors are doing with a hefty pinch of salt – at least until I see the results. 90% of the time, we don’t know the real reason for competitor activity or understand the consequences. Following their lead without real insight is more spaghetti.

Enhancing strategic growth

Once your confidence in marketing is solid, the next step is strategic growth.

Coaching isn’t just about solving immediate problems; it sets the foundation for long-term success.

Picture this: a clear roadmap tailored to your business, designed to scale your operations effectively.

With guidance, you learn to prioritise efforts that yield the most significant returns. This isn’t about working harder; it’s about working smarter. By focusing on strategic growth, you ensure your business doesn’t just survive but thrives in a competitive market. The longer you wait to enhance your strategy, the more opportunities slip by.
