From Toxic to Thriving with Business Partner Coaching
| Two co-owners were shying away from having hard conversations with each other and their business was paying the price. They needed to cut out toxic behaviours and grapple with burnout so they could focus on managing their staff and handling transitions as a team. |
| What We Did | The Results |
|---|---|
| ➝ Facilitated vulnerable conversations to build back trust ➝ Created frameworks and practices for safe communication ➝ Redesigned our relationship dreams and explored power dynamics to clarify roles | ➝ A stronger relationship built on trust ➝ Common language to navigate conflict ➝ Increased resiliency in themselves and in their relationship entity ➝ Reduced tension and drama ➝ Better management strategies and processes |
“The Inspiring Communities backbone team engaged Saralyn at a pivotal time as we were forming our practices for working together and clarifying our individual roles and responsibilities. We worked with her over several sessions to address questions and concerns around power and decision-making, and how to bring more joy and celebration into our work. Saralyn’s skillful facilitation, thoughtful questions and effective way of nudging the conversation in an open and constructive way helped us to navigate potentially challenging topics in a positive way. She made us think, made us laugh, and created a supportive environment.“
