About Us

My Philosophy

Business coaching is a people business, with a solid analytical edge. Every business is driven by a big personality who has built the operation and drives it forward. This is our turf.

Curiosity is what drives me. It is always exciting to hear an owner’s journey, to hear what’s worked and what hasn’t, to hear about future dreams and the solutions they have developed to make the dreams real.

Often making those dreams real is the biggest challenge. Day-to-day firefighting consumes the owner and there is no headspace for the consistent action needed to make change. Sometimes a little inspiration is needed, maybe bringing a fresh set of eyes on the plan or just agreeing on some deadlines to create momentum. Getting that balance right, along with a good serve of business smarts, that’s the coaching job.

My business is to make your business a success; to turn a good profit, give you the freedom and the recover the possibilities you dreamed of when you began.

 

My Experience

Over the last decade I have worked with hundreds of business owners operating in all sorts of industries: from wine growers to metal fabricators; cabinet makers to IT service providers.

They are all different, not so much because of their industries but because of the personalities and the passion the owners have for what they have built. A consistent achievement I can claim is to provide owners with options to achieve their goals, which can get around obstacles. Sometimes that’s about a different perspective but it is often about sharing the experiences of others.

I recognise patterns and see how they can be applied to different situations.
