An Essex business coach has been granted Senior Partner status with global firm ActionCOACH.
Sean Purcell, from Maldon, has been awarded the title after showing the commitment and initiative to help business owners in his local community become more profitable and efficient.
After running his own restaurant, and also having senior positions in corporates, not-for-profits, and the public sector, Sean initially set a focus on working with millennials. Now 37, Sean will build a firm continuing his work with younger entrepreneurs but also opening up his coaching to business owners of all ages in his local area.
Sean said: ‘Throughout my whole career, I’d never had anybody who understood what it’s like to be a business owner or business leader from this generation. I wanted to become a champion for budding entrepreneurs: they need someone who did it just like them and can learn from my successes and mistakes. The Senior Partner status means I can now build a team of Action Coaches and reach more entrepreneurs at various stages within their businesses.’
Sean knows all too well how rocky the road of business ownership can be, but believes failure shouldn’t even be on the cards.
‘A lot of my clients get to a point in their business where they’re unsure of which direction to take it next. That’s when I step in. I work with them on either a one-to-one basis or in a group coaching environment, harness their potential, support their learning and planning, and guide them towards taking back full control of their business.’
Sean’s firm currently works with hundreds of business owners across Essex and is looking to support many more in the coming years. His clients are often award-winners too – most recently HayPigs!, a guinea pig accessory company, who won Best Retailer at the Business Excellence Awards.
Sean also won the Best Client Results Award for East Anglia at ActionCOACH’s annual conference in January.
