BUSINESS COACHING

See your business differently

When you work inside your business every day, it can be difficult to see what’s really going on. Opportunities can be overlooked and solutions to challenges can be hard to see.

But when we change how we see, we change what we see.

I help business owners see more clearly and think more clearly, so they can make better decisions and take practical action.

Bring me the problem, opportunity or decision you keep turning over in your head.

We’ll work on the real issue, not skate around the edges.

Because sometimes the problem isn’t the problem.

ONE FOCUSED HOUR

You don’t need another course or someone telling you to post more often on social media.

One focused hour with someone with experience who will give the issue their full attention, listen carefully and ask you questions can help you get to the heart of it. I call it coaching unplugged.

Someone who can help you turn:

  • Confusion into clarity

  • Possibilities into decisions

  • Good intentions into action

  • Competing demands into priorities

We can work on funding, strategy, growth and scaling, pricing, profitability, marketing, technology and AI, financial management, or a particular decision that has become a knot in your thinking.

This is your session. We work on what matters most to you.

One focused hour can change how you see the issue and what you decide to do next.

COACHING, MENTORING AND STRAIGHT TALKING

Sometimes you need a question.

Sometimes you need to be challenged.

Sometimes you need an informed opinion.

And sometimes you need someone outside the business to tell you what they see.

Coaching helps you find your answer. Mentoring brings relevant experience into the conversation. I combine both, helping you think more clearly while offering a different commercial and financial perspective.

I’ll support you and have your back. But I won’t simply cheer you on. If you want to hear “yay you” then teach your dog to talk.

There’s no generic formula, meaningless buzzwords or coaching theatre. There is zero fluff.

WHY WORK WITH ME

I’ve coached and mentored almost 300 small businesses across a wide range of industries.

I also bring firsthand experience as a:

• Business founder and CEO

• Chief Financial Officer

• Macquarie Bank executive

• Investment manager and Investment Director

• Investor in almost 20 startups and small businesses

I understand strategy, finance, marketing, technology and business growth.

More importantly, I understand the reality of running a business.

The uncertainty. The difficult decisions. The opportunities that are not always obvious. The feeling that everything rests with you. The challenges outside the business and those inside your own head.

I adapt my approach to your experience, circumstances and preferred way of working.

My role is to help you see your business differently, identify what is really holding it back, recognise opportunities and decide what to do next.
