Frequently Asked Questions

How is business coaching different from consulting?

Business coaching focuses on guiding and developing business owners' capabilities, enabling them to solve problems and implement solutions themselves. Consultants typically analyze issues and provide specific recommendations or even implement solutions directly. Our coaching approach empowers you with the skills and mindset to address challenges independently, creating sustainable growth capabilities within your organization rather than temporary fixes.

How long does the coaching process typically last?

Our coaching programs generally range from 3 to 12 months, depending on your business needs and goals. We begin with an intensive phase of weekly or bi-weekly sessions, gradually transitioning to monthly meetings as your capabilities develop. Many clients choose to maintain an ongoing relationship with quarterly check-ins after completing the initial program. Our approach is flexible and can be adjusted based on your progress and evolving business requirements.

Do your coaches have experience specific to the Turkish market?

Absolutely. All our coaches have extensive experience working with businesses in Turkey, with many having operated their own ventures in the country. They understand the unique cultural, economic, and regulatory aspects of the Turkish business environment. This local knowledge is combined with international best practices, allowing us to provide guidance that is both globally informed and locally relevant to the Turkish market context.

What industries do you specialize in?

We have expertise across multiple sectors including manufacturing, retail, technology, tourism, professional services, and food & beverage industries. Our coaches bring industry-specific knowledge along with cross-sector insights that often lead to innovative approaches. If you operate in a highly specialized industry, we can pair you with a coach who has relevant experience or bring in subject matter experts to complement the coaching process.

How do you measure the success of your coaching programs?

We establish clear metrics and goals at the beginning of each coaching relationship, tailored to your specific business objectives. These might include revenue growth, profitability improvements, team performance metrics, customer satisfaction scores, or specific operational efficiencies. We track progress through regular assessments and adjust our approach as needed. Our ultimate measure of success is the tangible business results you achieve and your enhanced capability to lead and grow your business independently.

Our History

2012: Foundation

Our journey began when a group of international business coaches recognized the unique needs of Turkish entrepreneurs. They established our company with a vision to bridge global coaching methodologies with local business practices. The initial team consisted of three coaches working with a small clientele in Istanbul, focusing primarily on retail and manufacturing sectors.

2015: Regional Expansion

After establishing a strong reputation in Istanbul, we expanded our services to Ankara, Izmir, and Antalya. This period marked the development of our signature coaching methodology specifically tailored for the Turkish market. Our team grew to twelve coaches, and we introduced specialized programs for different business stages, from startups to established enterprises seeking market expansion.

2018: Research Partnership

We established a research partnership with leading Turkish universities to develop Turkey-specific business growth models. This collaboration allowed us to create proprietary coaching frameworks based on data from hundreds of Turkish businesses. During this period, we also launched our digital transformation coaching service in response to the growing need for technological adaptation among traditional businesses.

2020: Virtual Coaching Adaptation

The global pandemic challenged us to rapidly adapt our coaching model to virtual delivery. We developed interactive online tools and modified our methodology to maintain effectiveness in a remote environment. This adaptation not only helped our existing clients navigate the crisis but also expanded our reach to businesses in smaller Turkish cities that previously had limited access to professional coaching services.

2023: Present Day

Today, we operate as one of Turkey's premier business coaching firms with a team of twenty-five coaches serving clients across all regions. We've coached over 500 businesses ranging from innovative startups to established family enterprises. Our services now include specialized programs for export-oriented businesses and companies navigating complex regulatory environments. We continue to refine our methods based on ongoing research and client outcomes.

Research and Analysis

Business research and analysis

Our coaching methodology is grounded in extensive research into the Turkish business landscape. We continuously analyze market trends, regulatory changes, and economic indicators to ensure our guidance remains relevant and effective. Our research team conducts quarterly studies on various industries, providing our coaches with up-to-date insights that inform their work with clients.

One of our key research initiatives involves tracking the growth patterns of small and medium businesses across different Turkish regions. This longitudinal study helps us identify the factors that contribute to sustainable success in this market. We've documented how businesses navigate challenges such as currency fluctuations, regulatory changes, and shifting consumer preferences—creating a valuable knowledge base that informs our coaching practices.

In partnership with academic institutions, we've also developed proprietary assessment tools that measure business resilience and adaptability in the Turkish context. These tools allow us to quickly identify areas where coaching can have the most significant impact, enabling more focused and effective interventions for our clients.
