Business and Career Coaching

I have had many decades in business working across the globe. I have worked in many diverse communities and cultures. Now, it is time for me to share those experiences.

I have created companies over the years and I have worked for local, national, and international organisations. My experience extends to multi-nationals in several industry markets. These include tobacco, tech, finance, and property.

Today, I help local businesses grow and thrive as well as provide governance support to several not-for-profit organisations.

These services are geared to small to medium sized businesses with “growing pains.” They have reached a plateau in revenues and are potentially seeing some losses as costs exceed revenues.

Business problems can always be solved. Sometimes the management team is too close and cannot see where the issues lie. We can help triage problems with:

  • Financial concerns
  • Strategy
  • Technology processes & systems
  • Employee productivity
  • Governance, policy and procedure creation.

We will help define revised goals and accountability to ensure that the organisation starts to move forward again.

After an initial discussion about the concerns held, we will develop a plan and timetable to work towards.

I have worked for a wide variety of organisations, from very small to very large. I’ve encountered a range of amazing managers. On the flip side, I’ve dealt with too many duds!

In fact more duds than great managers. Why? Because many people think they are important when they have “manager” or “director” in their job title.

The problem – very few managers have ever been trained in management techniques or have a mentor to guide them. Their lack of skills flows down to the team and no one succeeds.

We will help you escape from a dud manager. We will guide you through a series of functions to develop a career path. From mentoring and 360 reviews to 30/60/90-day plans that give focus to the future. We will help define SMART goals and a prospective timeline.

As part of that, we will recommend the types of education needed. We will also suggest ways to put the new learning into practice.

These mentoring sessions are typically 60-90 minutes per week.
