Business Coaching & Training Services
Through our experience in supporting thousands of overlooked small businesses to build their resiliency—particularly those in child care—we’ve created tools and processes that are filled with real-life examples and are easily put into action. At the heart of our work, we believe in equipping business leaders with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to make the best-informed decisions for their businesses.
We support business owners and the coaches and the technical assistance providers who work with them in two ways:
Informative, relevant webinars and tools
We have a catalog of over 50 topics that are ready for use. You can browse them here.
Any of these topics can be delivered as:
Live or on-demand webinars, which allow participants to hear and see the information and real-world applications directly from experts.
Accessible, understandable self-guided resource tools. Through short videos and convenient webpages, our resources guide busy business leaders step-by-step through various components of tax education, business practices, and manageable policies.
One-on-one or group coaching sessions, which engage participants in building capacity, understanding, and answering the specific questions they have.
Training for coaches and technical assistance providers who want to go deeper on specific topics.
In some cases, our tools are automated. For example, here is a tool we developed with the Wisconsin Early Childhood Association to help small business owners self-assess their business tax returns. Another tool that we’ve created will help you select the right type of retirement plan for your business.

After completing the Thrive Pathway© Coach training, coaches can apply for certification, a career investment that builds coaching skills and confidence while providing valuable support to child care providers.
