Diligent Assistant Inc is North America’s prevalent Business Management and Business Coaching Company for Coaches and, Consultants.

We help you smarten up your business so you can focus on what you do best.

Our Approach

People don’t know what they don’t know. When you take time to explain how something works and why it’s needed, many pieces start to fall into place.

With a small business, business owners often look to their friends, family and network to understand what operational pieces need to be put in place. However, more often than not, a generalized how-to knowledge is learned instead of one that focuses on why you are different and what problem you solve.

At Diligent Assistant, we only work with professional coaches and consultants. We know how valuable administrative support is when working with sensitive individuals and topics requiring a gentle approach. We understand the kind of challenges that coaches and consultants can face when it comes to running an effective and values-based practice.
