Business Development and Performance Coaching

Picture

​​​I have spent the past 20+ years in various marketing and business development roles for engineering, architectural and construction companies. 

In these positions, I have helped my firms develop new business lines, secure introductions, win project assignments, mentor junior staff and represent the firm at industry events.

Recently, ​I became a certified coach to enhance my ability to help others reach their personal and business aspirations..

​"Debbie is a rare coach: she’s got a high level of coaching skill, business know-how and she really cares. She went the extra mile to give me what I needed. Debbie thinks outside and inside the box. She's practical and down-to-earth. I learned a lot from our sessions and I feel inspired to go forward in new and challenging directions."
​Marian Blum, Acupuncturist
​"Deb Crooke is a non-judgemental, encouraging and insightful coach, With a strong background in business development, she easily grasps the challenges I encounter as I grow my business.  Her questions and suggestions enable me to move forward efficiently. I could do this on my own, but it would be with a lot more angst, less confidence, and slower progress."
Gilda Gussin, M.Ed, Sustainable Behavior Consultant

What is Coaching?
​

Coaching is becoming a billion dollar business. Athletes, actors, and singers have always relied on coaches to help them achieve greatness.  According to Bloomberg, now nearly 40% of Fortune 500 companies use coaches. 

Our coaches work with you to help you create and implement your own personal vision of your life. This begins with an introductory session to:
  • Explore what you want
  • Create a vision for your future
  • Set a 3-month target
  • And then identify the small steps to get there.
After that, we meet regulary, by phone or in-person, to discuss your progress and identify new steps that lead you to your vision..

Business Development Coaching

I work with you or your team members to create and implement a Business Development program that leverages their skills and personality and generates new work for the firm.

​Through one on one coaching I help your team with:
  • Client pursuit strategy
  • Meeting prep/debriefing
  • Goal setting and vision
  • General guidance

Mentoring and Life Coaching

​​​I am a certified coach and life long business professional, with a passion to help people grow. Many of my clients want help in other areas of their life such as:
  • Wellness
  • Stress reduction
  • Finding that "to die for" position
  • Improving relationships
  • Business transition strategies
  • Writing a novel, pursuing their art or playing an instrument
  • And sometimes just managing their priorities without loosing their mind.
Coaching can focus on whichever area of your life needs support and to make the greatest impact on your overall sense of fulfillment.
