Why coaching — not “advisory”
What coaching is
- Not telling. Not industry-specific advice.
- Lower risk: you’re not prescribing; you’re facilitating thinking.
- Uses frameworks: LUKASS, GROW, Six Thinking Hats, CLEAR, OnePage Plan.
- Rooted in numbers: profit drivers, cash, margins, pricing and KPIs.
- Ethical and permission-based: challenge and accountability with consent.
- Not a new job — a new brand of accountant: the numbers coach.
What it looks like in a session
- Clarify outcomes (why this matters now).
- Explore the story behind the numbers (facts and feelings).
- Ask structured questions (LUKASS → deeper insight).
- Open options (Six Hats), then prioritise (ICE).
- Agree actions and dates with CLEAR accountability.
- Finish with value reflection so clients leave energised.
