ABOUT US
Who we are and what we do
The Alternative Board supports business owners to take their business to the next level through peer advisory boards made up of experienced local business owners, expert 1-2-1 coaching, and our suite of exclusive business tools.
But how do we differ from a traditional business coach or consultant? They may concentrate on improving your sales, sorting out your HR or helping you with your finances but that’s where it often ends. At TAB, we’ll look at these too of course, but we’ll start with you – the business owner – as a person.
Our coaching and mentoring sessions are designed to give you the time and space you need to gain more clarity and focus on your business. With the additional support of the TAB Business Builder’s Toolkit you will have everything you need to exceed your goals and set new ones.
The Board
The owner-to-owner peer advisory board meeting is the foundation of TAB, where you get expert and actionable advice that is specific to the challenges you are facing from the experienced business owners in the group. Every business owner gets a time slot to discuss their issue or challenge every month while an expert facilitator chairs the meeting and keeps records of the actions you have committed to make. Magic happens here and it had to be experienced to be understood, how quickly solutions can be found to your business problems through the power of the group.
BUSINESS COACHING
As part of your TAB membership, each month you have a one-on-one meeting with your expert business coach and facilitator to help you laser-focus on the you goals and issues. In this meeting, we follow up on the actions you committed to in the last TAB board meeting and prepare you for the next meeting. Your coach will help you every step of the way to decide on the best course of action to take based on your current issues. and challenges.
