• Do you want to start a new business but have no idea where to start?
• Are you struggling to wear the many hats of a small business?
• Would you like to run a profitable and productive business?

Start-up businesses need direction, a plan and a defined measurement of success.

More mature businesses need to check-in from time to time and ensure they are continuing to keep up to date with new markets, technologies and business opportunities.

How do you manage to keep on top of all aspects of business when you are also the person doing the job?

What is Business Coaching?

Imagine working with someone who only has you and your business’s best interests at heart.  The sort of person that can empathise with your challenges but also push back and challenge the way you are operating.  Depending on your frustrations your Business Coach can help you navigate the reality of any given situation and help you plot your way to success.  You need to be accountable and do what you say you will do.  After all you will expect the same level of commitment from your Business Coach.

Consider working with a Business Coach like having a silent partner, someone you can call, email, meet up with when the going gets tough.  As well as share your successes.

How does it work?

Working for a period of 3-6 months you and your Business Coach will create a program to suit your business goals.

• Together you will ‘air’ your frustrations and talk through you business dilemmas.
• You will start to map out what is important and a priority in terms of moving things forward.
• You will meet with your Business Coach either fortnightly or monthly and review your goals, strategies and actions.

The experience will be:

• Positive – it is important that your journey is a positive experience and every win is celebrated.
• Challenging – who said it’d be easy to change habits? Through powerful questioning techniques you will have new insights into your area of focus that will shift life up a gear.
• Teamwork – my role is to guide you through your coaching journey – everyone’s experience is different and you should view me as your mentor, adviser and, ultimately, your navigator of change.

What kind of coaching is available?

Business coaching can mean different things for different people.  I have supported a number of people in the past with a variety of coaching programs including:

Micro Start-up - learning the various hats you need to wear in order to manage a profitable and productive business.

Mumpreneur – have access to a coach who can help you juggle your business idea and craft a plan to turn the idea into your reality.

Business Grooming – Establishing a succession plan to hand over a business.  Typically working with family business this enables both the existing and new owners to have a pathway of success as they count down to full handover of ownership.

Team Performance Management – giving the people in your team the chance to really shine and be involved in sales and marketing initiatives.   This has paid off for many clients as they do not like to be the person to tell a team they are not doing a good job.  Removing conflict the team responds to an ‘external trainer’ and is committed to helping the business achieve it’s objectives.

These are just an example of what my previous clients have wanted to work on.  You may have a different need.  Contact me to discuss how I can support you and start making a difference to your business.

Client Testimonials

Here’s what Amanda had to say about working on her start-up business:

Sally has given me so much more than what I expected going into a business relationship with her. She has made me realise my own potential and given me the confidence and strength to do what I need to as a woman in business.  I highly recommended anyone who is looking to realise their own potential to connect with Sal and make their dreams a reality.
