Robert Hargrove

I have decided to offer a new Personal and Professional Advisory service called MyAdvisor.bz.

The reason? I like helping people reach their goals and aspirations or master dilemmas and problems…and I don’t want to limit myself or my organization to mega corporate issues.

On any given day, I am asked to give advice on both personal and professional issues from people as close as Boston or as far away as London, Paris or Seoul, Korea.

I talk to CEO types, HR managers, doctors, educators, restaurant owners, contractors, PhD candidates in search of a job and Green Card, professional coaches, even restaurant owners and taxi drivers.

After leading personal transformational workshops with over 30,000 people and coaching 100’s of executives on their professional challenges, I seem to have developed the ability to provide advice that gets right to the heart of the matter. One CEO I coached described it as having a big impact in a short amount of time.

For example, here are some of the issues I have offered words of wisdom on in the past couple of weeks:

• From a big company COO: Robert I’ve got an itch to scratch, I want to become CEO of this company. I have to master the political chessboard. Help!
• From a Chinese Hot Pot Restaurant Owner: Robert, I spent a million dollars opening this restaurant and the city wants to put a road through my place. What should I do?
• From a vice president of a big company: I am married with kids. I had an affair and got the girl pregnant. It’s tearing me up inside. What should I do?
• From the CEO of a $20 million family business: I work 24/7. Yet my three brothers aren’t pulling their weight. Should I stay or leave?
• From a recently graduated Asian female PhD: Robert, I am on the last months of my H1B Visa. How do I extend it or get a Green Card?
• From a Professional Coach: Robert, I am coaching a marketing manager who goes off like a blast furnace every time his employees make a mistake. How should I coach him?
• From an Actuary in an insurance company: Robert, I really want a raise. How do I talk to my boss?

Sometimes a coach can give you one piece of advice that can make all the difference. I don’t want to boast, but I am sometimes told: “That was the best piece of advice I ever got.”

I am planning to build a new website, MyAdvisor.bz, but in the meantime, I will be offering Advisory Services through this website. The advice will be given over the phone, in most cases, and or by email.

As I am launching this as a new business that will potentially involved other coaches, I can guarantee you that the cost will be quite affordable. The cost is $200 per hour, but I can often provide effective advice in less than 30 minutes.

I will listen to your problem; provide you with a Teachable Point of View based on my experience as a masterful coach with people in over 20 countries and in 35 industries; and then work with you to develop a Template for Action.

Usually the advice falls into three categories:

Business Advice: You want to create a Winning Business? Here’s how to break out of the no growth morass.

Professional Advice: So you want to become CEO or start a new career? Yes, we can help you master the political chessboard.

Personal Relationship Advice: Struggling in your relationship with your significant other or maybe your boss. Let’s talk about it.

Some of the Teachable Points of View that I find powerful for people are:

• Stand in people’s greatness (great for coaches)
• There is always a path forward and everything is transformable
• Find something to admire in your boss
• It only takes one person to turn a relationship around
• Look for a “blue ocean strategy,” don’t compete in a bloody red ocean
• Don’t get so our in front of the parade that they don’t know you are there
• Operate from view point of responsibility, don’t be a competent victim
• Change comes slower than you expect, develop patience
• Stand in the future that you want to create and take action today to realize it
• Transform rut stories into river stories (that take you forward)
• Don’t take it personally

I am really excited about this, so give me a call to try it out at Masterful Coaching MyAdvisor Services and set up a phone appointment today. 617-739-3300. If you are not totally satisfied, we will give you your money back or more time, no questions asked.
