Frequently Asked Questions
If you’re exploring whether North Star Training Solutions is right for you or your team, you’re in the right place. Below you’ll find straightforward answers about how our coaching works, what kind of results to expect, and how to know if it’s the right time to start.
Our goal is simple: help leaders and teams move forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
What does North Star Training Solutions do?
We help small businesses develop strong, capable leaders from within. Through coaching and structured leadership programs, we turn everyday employees into confident managers who improve culture, performance, and results.
Who do you work with?
Owners, CEOs, and operations leaders in blue-collar and technical sectors, construction, manufacturing, HVAC, logistics, field services, and so on, who want to grow their people, not just their profits.
What makes North Star different from other leadership training companies?
We don’t do theory or corporate fluff. Our training is practical, real, and built for the way small businesses actually run. Every tool we teach has been tested in the field, not just in a classroom.
Who leads the training?
Our founder, Miles Welch, and certified North Star coaches. Miles brings decades of leadership experience—from the U.S. Marine Corps to executive coaching—and a heart for developing people who work hard and care deeply.
Where are you based? Do you serve businesses outside Georgia?
We’re based in Alpharetta, GA, but our programs serve small businesses across the Southeast and beyond through a combination of in-person and virtual sessions.
What’s the difference between your programs?
From Stuck to Unstoppable is a 6-week reset for individuals ready to rebuild clarity, habits, and direction.
Leadership Team Training is a 12-month coaching journey for teams that want to lead stronger together.
1:1 Leadership Coaching gives business owners and senior leaders private coaching to think clearly, lead intentionally, and sustain growth.
How do I know which program is right for me or my team?
It depends on your goals. If you’re personally stuck, start with From Stuck to Unstoppable. If your company needs stronger managers, explore Leadership Team Training. If you’re leading at the top and want tailored growth, 1:1 Coaching is ideal.
Where are sessions held?
We offer a mix of in-person experiences (primarily in the Atlanta metro area) and virtual coaching options to serve leaders anywhere.
How long do your programs last?
Our programs range from 6 weeks (From Stuck to Unstoppable) to 12 months (Leadership Team Training). One on One Leadership Coaching is ongoing and customized to your goals.
What kind of results should I expect?
You’ll see more clarity, better communication, and higher accountability. Teams work smoother, turnover drops, and business owners finally get breathing room without losing control of quality.
How do you measure progress?
We combine honest self-assessment, structured feedback, and practical milestones. Participants set personal and business goals, then track measurable improvement in leadership effectiveness, decision-making, and team culture.
Is this just for “leaders,” or can anyone join?
Anyone ready to grow can benefit. Leadership isn’t about a title—it’s about influence. We’ve seen technicians, foremen, and office managers all step up as leaders through these programs.
Does your training apply to blue-collar and technical fields?
Absolutely. We built it for them. Every lesson connects directly to the realities of job sites, production floors, and service calls.
How much time does it require?
Expect about 1–2 hours a week between sessions and practical application. Our process is designed to integrate into daily work—not add more to your plate.
What if my team resists training?
They won’t if they see it’s real. Our coaches speak their language. The sessions are hands-on, honest, and immediately useful. People quickly see it’s not a lecture—it’s about them getting better at what they already do.
What’s the investment?
Each program is priced for accessibility to small businesses. We’ll outline full pricing during your discovery call so you can see the ROI clearly.
Do you offer ongoing support after the course?
Yes. Graduates join our Leadership Alumni Network for continued coaching, accountability, and connection with other business leaders who share the same growth mindset.
Can I enroll more than one team member?
Yes. Most businesses start with 2–5 key leaders or high-potential employees. Developing them together accelerates cultural change across your company.
How do I begin?
Start with a discovery call. We’ll talk through your goals, clarify which program fits best, and create a custom path for your leadership journey.
When is the next From Stuck to Unstoppable session?
Enrollment opens several times a year. You can join the waitlist to be notified when the next class launches.
What’s the first step if I want to train my leadership team?
Schedule a Leadership Team Training call. We’ll learn about your business and map out a 12-month growth plan for your leaders.
