“My business has been growing, and I should be pleased I guess, but I just don’t seem to enjoy it as much these days.”

We can help you identify what you really enjoy doing and then challenge you to make the changes that will re-energise you – and your business. This typically involves an initial business assessment, followed by quarterly business review meetings to ensure that changes are implemented.

“I know it’s a cliché but I am so involved in the business that I have no time to work on the business. I have such great ideas ….”

We introduce the discipline of regular meetings where you play the owner (not the worker). We help you set plans and then install some accountability…..We call this a Board of Advice relationship, with frequency and duration of meetings to suit you, and regular, formal review of the value of the relationship.

“Every member of my team is a good person and yet they just don’t seem to work well together. The lack of team spirit is starting to frustrate me.”

We love working with teams to help them recognise their individual styles, recognise (and appreciate) other styles, and assist them to modify their own style – for the good of the team. This involves a facilitated workshop, with a follow up progress check. You may choose the profiling tool (although we have our favourites if you need help in deciding).

“Our business is highly dependent on great relationships with our clients. My people are good at what they do but I wish they could deal with our clients the way I do.”

Whilst we can’t make your team just like you, we can help them to relate better to other human beings – both inside and outside your workplace. We would usually conduct a series of workshops, tailored specifically to your needs, with an emphasis on practical application – and real, permanent changes in behaviour.

“This job is so busy and I never have enough time. I wish I was more organised. I just don’t know where my day goes….”

We can help you to make smarter decisions about your use of time. We query your habits to diagnose the key issues. Is it prioritisation? Interruptions? Meetings? Support? This involves one-on-one coaching on your work practices. This exercise may also include your assistant, if you have one.
