Walt Boylan

Denver Business Coach

Meet Walt

After 25 years selling integrated business software solutions and 8 years managing a civil construction firm, Walt decided to take a more active role in his then 10-year-old family education business. His focus was on direct sales of innovative education solutions to school districts in Colorado and around the country. He continues to lead this effort on a part-time basis.

However, while working in the family business, he realized that his career experiences and personality would lend themselves well to working with motivated business owners and C-Level managers to help them achieve their goal, and has spent a large portion of his time coaching business leaders for the past 5 years.

In His Own Words

How Walt Approaches Coaching:

What are your goals with your coaching clients?

First, to build trust, as a coaching relationship becomes very personal and demands honesty and vulnerability in order to make real progress. I must also be willing to hold my client accountable to commitments made during our sessions. Then it’s a matter of developing our specific goals to understand their areas of need and execute a plan that meets these needs.

What successes have you seen your clients have?

I’ve helped many clients gain a better understanding of their financial statements, and helped others develop written business plans, including Mission & Vision statements. I’ve guided several others through the process of bringing aboard new employees (creating job descriptions, how to interview with the goal of getting at character issues, developing offer letters, creating sales commission plans, etc.), and helped walk many clients through resolving difficulties with key employees. I also helped one client prepare their company for sale and negotiate a successful bid that they were very happy to accept.

Why do you enjoy business coaching?

It’s fun and rewarding to utilize my skills and experience to help small businesses thrive during the process of working together for multiple years. It becomes a very personal relationship.

What prompted you to become a business coach?

I believed that my career experiences and personality would be valuable in working with motivated business owners and C-Level managers to help them achieve their goals.
