There’s no doubt about it, people at the top of the chain of command – executives and business owners – constantly have a whirlwind going on inside their head. An executive’s job is to be in touch with every aspect of the business, to know what’s going on, and to make stress-inducing financial decisions.
We know that’s a lot of pressure, we’re all human. No matter how good you are at your job, you can’t be a superhero. It’s natural to feel somewhat overwhelmed, confused, or even mentally fatigued. Sometimes the top can be a lonely place, and you need extra support to work through the tough decisions. But where does that come from?
Introducing the Toohey Reid Board of Advice program!
Although it may seem like a simple idea, a sounding board can actually have a myriad of benefits for your business. Just like a computer sometimes needs an update, a sounding board can provide refreshing advice and support to executives and business owners.
Why you need a sounding board
We’ve all had those days where nothing goes right, where your creativity has hit the wall, or you just can’t figure out a solution to a recurring problem. It’s natural. That’s where a sounding board is beneficial. For small business owners or business executives without an internal board to lean on, an external board can provide expert advice, bring a sense of clarity to situations and also supply reassurance during tumultuous times.
Functions a good sounding board should provide
A business sounding board should have a variety of functions, all of which will centre around making your job as an executive, or business owner, easier. A professional external sounding board will:
- Give you a space to bounce ideas around
- Provide a different perspective
- Provide creativity
- Listen to your concerns and ideas
- Question your decisions and provide clarity
Where to find a sounding board for your business
There are a variety of paths you can choose to take when it comes to setting up a sounding board for your business, but not all sounding boards are equal, so it is imperative to shop around before putting your business in the hands of others.
