As the world continues to grapple with unprecedented change and uncertainty in the business landscape, there is an increasing demand for experienced business coaches to guide organizations through these challenging times. The Growth Coach, a 65-unit small-business coaching franchise, has emerged as a top franchise opportunity in the industry, particularly for former HR executives seeking to leave the corporate world. 

There are several reasons why The Growth Coach is an ideal franchise opportunity for former corporate executives, and especially HR professionals. For example, many HR execs may feel constrained by the day-to-day minutiae of their roles, whether that be handling payroll or billing, and The Growth Coach franchise offers an attractive path to becoming strategic partners in business development.

“They want to be true partners with a business owner or a leader and have an impact on overall strategy,” said Brad Schneider, COO of The Growth Coach. “The Growth Coach offers them the opportunity to leverage that skill set and connect people. It puts them in a good position to do the type of work that they’ve always wanted to do but never had the time or energy.”  

One of the most compelling aspects of joining The Growth Coach as a former HR executive is the chance to leverage a deep understanding of business operations to succeed on your own terms, Schneider says. With The Growth Coach, HR professionals can shift their focus from tackling the tactical issues within a business to solving the larger, more strategic challenges that different departments face.

"HR is usually one of the groups inside of the business that sees where everything comes together — they understand the business from a sales, operations and back office standpoint," Schneider said. “The ability to work across all these departments is a valuable skill-set and one that lends itself well to the business coaching environment.”

Another significant benefit of The Growth Coach franchise opportunity is the increased control over one's schedule and work-life balance. Schneider highlights that as a Growth Coach franchise owner, you get to choose who you work with, rather than being forced to manage HR issues or performance challenges. 

"Being with The Growth Coach, you can pick clients who are interested and excited about building businesses that lift people up,” Schneider said. “You will have a front-row seat in helping build those cultures, which you can't always do if you are an internal voice in an organization. You can be real and direct with business leaders and create lasting improvements. You don’t have to worry about saying the wrong thing as an employee.”

While potential franchisees from the HR world may have never owned their own business, Schneider assures that The Growth Coach provides comprehensive support in all areas. "We help them use their natural relationship-building skills to start conversations, build referral networks and implement digital marketing strategies that are turn-key,” he said. “We’ve proven the business model over the past 25 years and we know how to provide franchisees with a pathway to success.”

The Growth Coach presents an affordable, flexible and scalable business model that makes it a strong contender among franchise opportunities in the business coaching segment. The franchise also differentiates itself through its comprehensive coaching toolbox, its constant innovation to meet clients' needs and the unparalleled support it offers to its franchisees.

Overall, for former HR executives looking for a franchise opportunity that provides greater autonomy, a more strategic focus and the potential for increased job security, The Growth Coach can be an ideal fit. 

"The best part about The Growth Coach is you can do the work you love, but build it in a way that you control,” said Schneider. “You can control how long you want to work, how much you want to work, and you will never get laid off because someone else wants to make the numbers look good on a spreadsheet. You are in control of your own destiny.”
