Drew's approach to coaching

 

Drew is an experienced, executive business strategist – capable of seeing the big picture but keenly aware of the need to stay focused on the everyday fundamentals.

Coaching and mentoring is very much a collaborative venture. Drawing on 25 years of experience, Drew helps his clients examine and think through their specific business challenges – by first assessing the current situation and then providing the direction, independent feedback and tools they need to solve their particular business issues. He can see the bigger picture but is keenly aware of the need to stay focused on the everyday fundamentals.

 

It’s like having a personal fitness trainer – but for business.

 

There’s a new game in town. Business is leaner, much more competitive. Even those at the top of their game are being challenged. Seeking that ‘extra edge,’ many are seeing the value of having a coach in their corner – someone who will:

 

• Ask the hard questions
• Push them to see beyond their present horizon
• Encourage them to reach and keep growing.

 

Drew 'gets into their corner' and provides disciplined, value-based advice assisting them to:

 

• Think strategically about their current situation
• Develop more self awareness and build on their particular strengths
• Leverage their unique services and products to get to the next plateau.

 

But here’s the thing… and the reason Drew’s practice keeps on growing

 

Highly intuitive and empathetic, more often than not, as he forms a relationship with his clients, even as they address the business issues, he finds their conversations inevitably come down to an essential human level. It’s at that point that his value and special talent becomes evident. He knows it isn’t only about having the right business model and targeted marketing strategy. The demands and pressures of business are enormous. With his experience, he can understand and empathize with the everyday, constant challenges of his clients. It’s always about working with the struggles we all deal with each day while trying to make a difference and make a living at the same time.

about Drew

A few years ago, after spending almost 25 years on the front line of business, Drew felt compelled to make a change. After a long period of thoughtful and deliberate introspection, he found a new purpose in life. Using his previous business and valuable life experiences, he embraced a new direction and is devoted to inspiring other business people to improve and excel in their businesses and further enrich their lives.

 

He is an advocate of principled leadership values that begin with awareness, being open to change and continuous learning. He believes in compassion, tolerance of other's views and fostering encouragement - leading, in the end, to a more effective, people-focused work place.

 

Drew has traveled to many regions of the world, including the Canadian Arctic, Western Europe, the Mediterranean and the Middle East. In addition, he has had the good fortune to have lived and worked with many wonderful people from diverse customs, backgrounds and religions. From that kind of exposure came awareness and an understanding that is of incalculable value in our multi-cultural, global environment.

 

Based in Toronto he divides his time between coaching, speaking and conducting a seminar on accelerating personal and professional potential. (See The Idea Mill). He is currently working on a new book.
