Crystal Shanks is the CEO and Certified Business Coach at Run Right Business Consulting, where business and executive coaches help entrepreneurs and executives thrive through professional and personal development. Run Right’s coaching program is uniquely personalized for each person and focuses on core needs, including marketing, sales, operations, leadership, financial mastery, career advancement, and mindset. Crystal has coached thousands of owners and businesses worldwide to generate maximum profits and substantial results for nearly 15 years.

People hire business coaches and consultants for various reasons, including having a sounding board, gaining accountability, and helping with business challenges. They provide valuable support and guidance to leaders wanting to propel themselves to another level of success. However, to effectively support clients, consultants must ask a bevy of questions to identify pain points.

With 14 years of coaching executives and leaders under her belt, Crystal Shanks is no stranger to the business world. If you’re looking to elevate yourself or grow your business, her advice is to work with a business coach and be ready to be vulnerable and connect on an emotional level. Coaches can unveil barriers blocking your potential to reach your goals, so you must be willing to share to get to the heart of things. When you commit to the process, the walls will break and clear a path to determine what’s holding you back and the measures you can take to move forward.
