UNIQUELY QUALIFIED TO SUPPORT YOUR TRANSFORMATION
If you genuinely desire change and believe it’s possible in your business, leadership, and life, I look forward to an exploratory meeting. In an open and confidential conversation, we can assess whether there is an opportunity to collaborate and expedite your journey toward genuine success in business, leadership, and life.
In my 66 years, I believe I have gained a lot of wisdom from my many roles as husband, father, son, brother, friend, community leader, entrepreneur and coach. I am immensely proud of my many accomplishments in these roles. I’m an avid reader and lifelong learner. I have been blessed with and continue to benefit from many inspiring mentors. Like everyone, I’ve faced many life challenges but those experiences have allowed me learn and grow. My soul now calls me to pass on this deep well of knowledge and experience through the vehicle of coaching. Supporting people to their brilliant future is wonderfully fulfilling and gratifying. I am pleased to answer any questions about my experience and academic qualifications.
As a Business Advisor, we will commence with a clear understanding of your goals and dreams, followed by a thorough assessment of where you are at now. We will collaboratively establish priorities for action aligned with your objectives. Together, we will thoroughly evaluate all aspects of your business and promptly create an action plan with measurable success metrics. Concurrently, we’ll address your leadership paradigms and behaviors to eliminate self-sabotage and foster truly effective leadership. Imagine experiencing significantly fewer hours worked, reduced stress, and notably increased profitability. I guarantee this!
Leadership and Life Coaching go hand in hand, as effective leadership begins with self-leadership. In my approach to Leadership and Life Coaching, I emphasize that success is built on aspiration, awareness, and accountability. Through coaching, you’ll enjoy the benefits of positive, lasting behavioral change in both your life and your leadership.
I believe I am an accomplished person living my best life. I’m genuinely passionate about assisting people like you to achieve life success based on your own definition of success. It’s my soul’s mission to support you to reach your full potential in your business, leadership and life. I’m both humbled and excited by the prospect of supporting you on your journey toward genuine transformation and fulfillment, your brilliant future.
I cannot remember a time when I wasn’t convinced I would be self employed, and so from the time I finished business school, I pursued entrepreneurship. My goal in being self-employed was always to maximize my personal choices and freedoms. In addition to leading in business, I also valued being present for my marriage and children and contributing to my communities. I believe I successfully balanced and accomplished those intentions.
Ultimately I can say I was successful in business when I built and sold my last company and retired financially independent from active business at the age of 54. My last entrepreneurial venture was a commercial janitorial business in Calgary, AB started in 2001. Cleanmax Inc. was a “small giant” (from the book Small Giants by Bo Burlingham) and successfully modeled organizational and financial excellence. In 2011, the company was successfully sold. At the time of sale, the company had approximately $10 million revenue, 400 staff, 12 managers and 5 on the executive team.
I built other, smaller companies that were more or less successful ventures in service, retail, construction and development industries. For most of my career I did not make a lot of money. None of my ventures were smooth sailing and all had plenty of adversity, but also plenty of fun and victories. My entrepreneurial career spanned 30 years and 4 cycles of Calgary’s notorious oil and gas, boom and bust economy. I experienced the dissolution of 2 business partnerships. I bought and sold several businesses. I supported and assisted other entrepreneurs. I made it a priority to work normal hours and have exceptional amounts of time off. In my final 10 years of active business leadership, I worked 4 days per week and I took 2 sabbaticals.
By way of academic qualifications, I have a Bachelor of Commerce from Queens University and a Graduate Certificate in Executive Coaching from Royal Roads University. I have been blessed to have an insatiable curiosity and have benefited from many mentors and coaches.
I believe personal success and business success are intimately linked – there cannot be one without the other. I have made the mistakes and experienced the adversity but learned and grown. Experience plus knowledge equals wisdom. I hope I can put my hard won wisdom to work for you.
With loving kindness,
Coach Billy
