Over the past 11 years, engaging with more than 400 small business owner clients, and drawing upon her extensive prior experience of meeting with over 3000 small business owners to intimately understand their challenges, hopes, and dreams, Beverlee embarked on a transformative journey. Her mission was to find a way to reduce the staggering 51% small business failure rate through coaching. This work unveiled the 52 most crucial small business competencies spanning leadership, operations, finance, team building, and marketing.
This endeavor resulted in the creation of over 2500 coaching questions meticulously designed to complement The Small Business Field Guide.
Research and Development
But that’s not all—Beverlee’s commitment to the project went even further. Recognizing the paramount importance of drawing out the best in entrepreneurs, she pursued a graduate certificate in executive coaching. This rigorous program equipped her with the tools to leverage neuroscience, active listening, the art of asking the right questions, and providing a nurturing space for entrepreneurs to be seen, heard, and understood. This approach aimed at imparting the knowledge and confidence necessary for small business owners to stabilize and grow their enterprises.
To bolster her expertise, Beverlee pursued a graduate certificate in Organizational Development, placing a profound emphasis on prioritizing the people within organizations. By emphasizing the well-being of team members, she fortified small business owners’ capacity to construct and lead robust, cohesive teams.
This remarkable journey culminated in Beverlee being one of the first in Canada to earn a Master of Arts in Executive and Organizational Coaching from Royal Roads University. Her studies encompassed the intricacies of coaching psychology, group and team coaching, personal mastery, global cultural competencies, and the ethics surrounding coaching.
No other business coach training program rivals the depth of commitment demonstrated by Beverlee in supporting small business owners and providing them with the crucial assistance they require.
