Successful entrepreneur Rick Weaver established Catapult Coaching to assist the growing number of new entrepreneurs. Two emerging had captured his attention:
Baby Boomers being "bought out" as the corporate world began to downsize were finding it difficult to find new employment. They were venturing into the entrepreneurial world to create their own jobs but lacked the skills needed for entrepreneurial success. Although accomplished in the business world, many rising as high as vice-presidents, they lacked the broad experience needed to create, select a product and service mix, market, and staff their new business.
Generations X and Y were witnessing the stress of their parents and grandparents due to the turbulent job market. With their tremendous energy and creativity they were engaging in entrepreneurial ventures to develop their own business as a supplement and insurance policy to their existing career. Yet they realized coaching was needed to fully develop their talents and to learn from the experience of already successful entrepreneurs.
Catapult has formed alliances with Profiles International, MBC Global, Impact Press, and Max Impact to deliver a scientific approach to professional coaching.
Today Catapult Coaching is available across all 50 United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
