Harrisburg, PA— Coach Thom Finn’s clients have nothing but great things to say about their coach and about the results they are getting with him being their business coach. Finn was awarded for “Best Client Results” and “Most Awarded Clients” at the ActionCOACH North American Conference in Las Vegas.

Today with a team of seven, he is one of the firm owners for the Lancaster/Harrisburg Coaching Practice, ActionCOACH of Central Pennsylvania-the 2007 Firm of the Year winner for the second year in a row. The firm operates in Lancaster, Dauphin, Cumberland and Perry counties and currently coaches over 70 local businesses.

Rachel and Jim Shenk had this to say about Coach Thom, “When we first considered coaching we were nervous, wondering "how would we pay for a small business coach?" We were not quite sure if we wanted someone looking at our business dirty laundry. But working with Coach Thom Finn has been wonderful. Now we take credit for working very hard to get this improvement, but we know we could not have accomplished this working on our own. We know we are working with the "mean coach"- he's very demanding and tells it like it is whether we want to hear it or not, but we really look forward to our sessions.

Coach Thom brings a sense of security to our decision making process and the guidance and advice he brings to each session has been essential. He really has taught us a new way of thinking about our business that has saved us year of mucking around. When we look around at other business owners we see who are doing the same thing over and over and over again, we want to tell them they need a coach and they just look at us with blank stares. They just don't get it- that there is a new and profitable way of looking at their business that an outside point of view can bring. All of us small business owners have some sort of blind spot- and a coach shines a light on it so it's out in the open. We plan on working with Thom Finn for a long, long, long time."

Finn stated “I’m very grateful and honored to receive the award but it’s really a reflection on my clients. I work with the smartest, hardest working bunch of people anywhere in North America. It’s their talent that I coach that brings the success I celebrate. Where they may be pleased with the results we bring to profits, and they way I show a positive return on their investment so quickly, I think the one thing they value-and maybe without realizing it- is the accountability and focus I bring. I know I can be a pain at times- but it’s this relentless accountability that channels their resources to bring us success.”
This is the 2nd year in a row Coach Thom has been awarded The North American Awards who has one of the highest retention rates of clients/client satisfaction scores of any coach in North America.
