Coaching

Practical skills for every level of your business

If it doesn’t challenge you, it won’t change you.

Leading can be lonely, but it’s also challenging, empowering and rewarding.

A coach is not there to tell you how to do your job, or even to teach you new things.  A coach is there to listen, hear your frustrations and your obstacles, and work with you to find the solution together.

As a critical friend, we will be on your side, but also push you to break through to where you want to be.

Here are just a few examples of things we might cover in 1-2-1 coaching:

Time Management

Investing in time management skills shows up what’s draining you, what’s important as opposed to urgent, and where you need to be focussed to take the business forward.

Developing a Business Plan

Learn a well-proven model to help you develop your business plan. From this, you will be able to enhance it for everyday use, and for sharing with investors and lenders.

Effective Finance Tools

Finance is not just about money in the bank, or what’s going in and out.  What tools are you using to track your finances and plan for the future? Our expert guidance can equip you with all the tools you need.

Idea to Reality

Good ideas are 10 a penny.  How you bring them to fruition is a different matter.  It takes time, thought and expertise to turn an idea into a reality and we’re here to help you on that journey.

Personal Awareness

What is holding you back?  What is frustrating you about your role and direction.  Often we can be our own worst enemy, self-sabotaging and making problems worse.  We know how to ask the right questions to get to the bottom of what the issues really are, and work with you to find the solutions.

Helen’s mentoring and coaching abilities are outstanding, to say the least. Helen challenged me, stretched me, developed me, and overall had a LIFE CHANGING IMPACT on me. Helen’s personable and critical approach to coaching/mentoring allowed me to sharpen and develop my mindset, broaden my life/career plan options and give clarity to such and much much more. Helen, thank you.
