Doug Griffiths | 13 Ways

EXECUTIVE COACHING

Results: Business Doubled in 2019

Challenge

After working tirelessly to improve the lives of residents and businesses in over 500 communities across North America, Doug Griffiths retired from the political arena in 2015 to invest his leadership experience into his newly-formed company, 13 Ways. However, even with a wealth of firsthand knowledge, he often felt he lacked a clear path towards his goal.

“...like most entrepreneurs, we had challenges trying to identify exactly what we were going to do and how things were going to work and what our priorities were going to be...”

Solution

Angela Groeneveld of Emerge Agency was able to assess his company, strategy, and the current marketplace, and helped 13 Ways find a fresh new vision. Angela’s mentorship helped Griffiths to restructure his business model to better align with his clientele as well as streamline the internal operations of his company. It quickly became evident that the most valuable lessons came not from talking but from listening and asking the right questions.

“She talked me through issues that we had in the first couple of years of the company…and we became very focused, and we’ve become very successful. And I owe a lot of that to the moments that Angela would ask me just those right questions at the right time that helped me focus.”

Results

13 Ways continues to find new ways to provide mentorship, consultation, and strategies to help communities and organizations challenge their circumstances and achieve success. According to Griffiths, much of the credit for his own success is due to his work with Angela Groeneveld and Emerge Agency.
