The Nuts and Bolts Group Coaching is taught by Gail Zona, an experienced business coach and MBA. She uses her vast experience in fast-growing startup companies and distills it into best practices, tips and techniques for the busy micro-entrepreneur. Gail believes in getting your hands dirty to learn something. So every session has an in-session workshop where you apply the concepts from the topic to YOUR business with how-to templates. And you do it while Gail can give you coaching onthe spot to help you learn. You will learn enough in the session to be able to use the new information the next very day!
Here's how it works
		Learn something new Each 2-hour session starts off with a handout on the new topic of the evening. Gail talks through the handout, discusses experiences the participants may have had and helps each business owner understand the why's behind the practice.
		Try it out on your business For each topic, Gail provides custom templates that make it easy to focus on your business problem instead of on the process. Each business owner uses the templates provided and works on applying that new topic and concept to his/her own business. Try forecasting sales or profiling your target market or determining next year's profits. Until you actually think about it in terms of your own business, it isn't real.
		Get feedback and coaching Now for the fun. Each business owner discusses his/her approach to the business problem. Everyone participates and Gail offers custom coaching on the spot to help the business owner see what to improve or think about differently. It's fun, fast-paced, and everyone goes home with something new!
