The newest franchise of the national business training company The Growth Coach opened for service in northwest Houston this month.

The Growth Coach of Spring, serving Spring, The Woodlands and surrounding communities, launched under franchisee Robert Osborne on July 1. The Growth Coach offers remote group and one-on-one instructional programming for managers, sales professionals and other business professionals.

“Throughout the last few years of my corporate career, I knew I wanted to get into business coaching, but I wanted to make sure I had a strong curriculum and support system to offer my clients. I decided to franchise with The Growth Coach because of the excellent programs as well as the credibility the company has already built around the world,” Osborne said in a statement.

The Growth Coach sold its first franchise in 2003 and has since expanded to dozens of markets nationwide. 832-212-9774. www.thegrowthcoachspringtx.com
