Transition coach

Smooth the path to business exit… and a new life

Change can be daunting. Even when the result is a large payout — after exiting a business, for example — there’s a sense of loss.

When you’ve spent your life being recognised for doing something well, you may feel that part of your identity has disappeared.

Whether you’ve already exited the business, or are considering doing so, there’s a huge question looming:

What should you do next?

As a transition coach, I help you work through the feelings, concerns and choices you’re facing. You can find a sense of purpose and prepare for a new life.

Transition coaching for a seamless, stress-free business exit

Eventually, all business owners have to exit the business — although it’s rarely an easy undertaking.

Do you know  the next step? What are you running towards?

Even with a meticulously planned business exit strategy, there will inevitably be an emotional impact. It’s hard to hand over control to someone else.

Transition coaching is a step-by-step approach which takes you through the process and successfully out the other side.

How transition coaching works

The coaching is centred around your individual circumstances, personal and financial goals and can include:

It’s my job to give you control over the next stage in your life. You’ll have the tools in place to ensure that it’s as successful and valuable as the previous chapter.

My name is Paul Dallibar. I’ve been a business advisor and coach for over 20 years — but you’ll want to be certain that we can work together, so I offer a free no-obligation introductory session.

FAQs

You’ll probably have a few questions so I’ve answered some of them below. If your question isn’t there, please feel free to call me on 07815 134 432. I’d be happy to answer it.

What kind of businesses do you work with?

All kinds of business, both large and small. This includes not-for-profits such as charities.

Over the last 20 years, I’ve worked with start-ups and established businesses in a huge variety of sectors — from financial and legal services and to tech, manufacturing and creative industries.

Put simply, no matter the industry sector, I can help you.

Does it matter that you’re not an expert in my particular industry?

Not at all. In fact, it’s an advantage because as an outsider, I can quickly see issues which may not be obvious to an industry expert.

When you’re close to a business, it’s difficult to view it objectively. It’s my job to offer a fresh perspective.

I don’t need to be an expert in your industry. In my experience, no matter the sector, the key issues nearly always revolve around people.

Which services do you offer?

My services cover four key stages in business: 

  • Start-up consultancy if your enterprise is in its early stages 
  • Business development consultancy when want to grow an existing business 
  • Business exit strategy for control over when and how you move on

Transition coaching which helps you work through the feelings, concerns and choices you’re facing

Do you offer online consultancy?

Yes, I can deliver consultancy services online.

However, face-to-face consultancy generally works more effectively. When I’m there, seeing you in your working environment, it helps me get a proper feel for the business. It works both ways because we can build a proper relationship.

How long does the process take?

It’s up to you. Right from the start, we’ll discuss the timescale so that we’re both happy with how long the process will take.

I’m not the sort of business consultant who will stick around for the sake of it. Once the new strategy is bedded in, and everyone is happy with it, that’s my job done.

Will you tailor your services according to what I need?

Always. Each business is different, as are the individuals within it. What works for one business will not necessarily work for another, so my services are bespoke.

Do you deliver staff training?

Yes. If we’ve introduced new skills and processes, I’ll make sure everyone is fully trained and completely happy with implementing them. If there’s a change of role, I’ll help the individual make a smooth transition.

Training can include financial planning (for non-experts), communication skills, one-to-one performance coaching, leadership skills and several more that I don’t have space to mention.
