Top European Award for Scotland Business Coach & Funtrepreneur

Scotland-based Richard Norris, a business coach with Action International, the world’s biggest business coaching organisation, has just picked up the prestigious ‘European Team Player of the Year Award’ for the second year running.

Richard, who was in competition with over 100 European business coaches, was given the award for his commitment to the small businesses he works with, and his contribution to the promotion of business coaching throughout the UK.

Commenting on his award, Richard added: “I must give credit to my clients and colleagues for this fantastic honour. The businesses I work with have shown tremendous commitment and energy to achieve results. Indeed, we have seen many clients achieve outstanding business growth, including one company in Perth? That managed to increase turnover by a massive 370% in just 12 months!”

“Although coaching has been around for a long time in sport, it only made the leap to business about ten years ago. In the same way that coaches push athletes to achieve their optimum performance and motivate them when the going gets tough, so we as business coaches help business owners set goals and put the steps in place to achieve them. We are also on hand to provide guidance, support and encouragement. After all, when you’re running your own business, it is all too easy to lose focus, work long hours and forget why you started the business in the first place.”

“I believe that the owners and proprietors of the UK’s 4 million small to medium sized businesses will benefit tremendously from one-to-one business coaching or mentoring.”

This award makes a ‘hat trick’ for Richard who was also chosen as ‘European Team Player of the Year’ in 2004 and ‘Global Action Man of the Year’, the latter an award for the best business coach across the entire worldwide network of 600 Action International business coaches.

Richard will be giving a seminar on….. He is also offering business owners in Perth a free ‘business healthcheck’ to help identify those steps they should take to tackle the issues they face and help them achieve success they would never have thought possible.
