The Renaissance Group

What The Renaissance Group does

The Renaissance Group is a privately held, founder-led business coaching and consulting firm founded in 1998 and headquartered in Tampa, Florida, with 11–50 employees. It serves entrepreneurs and small-business owners, particularly owners facing overwork, stalled growth, limited time freedom, owner dependence, and leadership or team challenges. Its core services are private or group Business & Executive Coaching, the Growth by Design™ strategic-planning system, and monthly Entrepreneur RoundTables; it also offers assessments, structured programs, speaking and training, and a free Clarity Session.

The firm is organized around human expertise rather than a proprietary technology platform. Its go-to-market is direct and consultative: prospects encounter educational website content, email newsletters, and social profiles, then submit contact information or book a complimentary Clarity Session before paid engagements. Revenue comes through quote-based, customized coaching, planning, assessment, program, speaking, and training engagements; coaching and RoundTables are recurring or membership-oriented, while planning and speaking or training can be one-time or repeat professional-services work. Delivery is on-site and virtual, and the stated operating footprint is the Southeastern United States, with Tampa as headquarters.

Direct peers

• Strategic Coach: Strategic Coach provides structured coaching and entrepreneurial support to founders and business owners. Its focus on helping entrepreneurs gain clarity, momentum, and leverage closely matches The Renaissance Group's private coaching and strategic-planning model.
• The Alternative Board: The Alternative Board provides owner-only peer boards, one-to-one business coaching, and strategic tools for small and midsize business leaders. It competes for the same entrepreneur customer segment through recurring group and individual advisory services.
• ActionCOACH: ActionCOACH offers business coaching to owners of small and midsize companies through a large franchise network. It directly overlaps with The Renaissance Group's owner-focused coaching, sales growth, leadership, and business-system services.
• E-Myth: E-Myth coaches small-business owners on systems, processes, leadership, and working on the business rather than in it. Those themes closely parallel Renaissance's documented systems, delegation, operating-model, and owner-dependency services.
• Vistage: Vistage combines executive coaching with peer-advisory groups for CEOs, business owners, and senior executives. Its private advisory and group-format model is highly comparable to Renaissance's private coaching and Entrepreneur RoundTables.

Emerging players

• Entrepreneurs' Organization: Entrepreneurs' Organization is a global membership network that gives founders peer learning, executive education, and relationship access. It competes indirectly for entrepreneurs' development and peer-advisory spend, although its core model is membership rather than direct coaching.
• Growth Institute: Growth Institute offers scaling strategy, leadership training, and coaching based on the Scaling Up methodology. It overlaps with Renaissance's Growth by Design planning system and its focus on helping growth-ready owners improve execution.

Broad incumbents

• Dale Carnegie Training: Dale Carnegie Training provides leadership, management, communication, sales, and professional-development programs. It overlaps with Renaissance's speaking, training, and leadership-development offerings but serves a broader range of organizations and learners.
• FranklinCovey: FranklinCovey is an established provider of leadership, execution, productivity, and organizational-performance training. It is a broader incumbent that competes for corporate and executive-development budgets adjacent to Renaissance's leadership and training services.

Others

• Noomii: Noomii is a directory and lead-generation platform for business and executive coaches. It is adjacent rather than directly comparable because it connects clients with independent coaches instead of delivering a standardized coaching and strategic-planning program.
