Strategy

Practical skills for every level of your business

“Hope is not a strategy” – Vince Lombardi

You may know where you want your business to go, and you may have dreams for the future, but how are you going to get there?We have helped businesses go from strength to strength with clear strategy and vision.

These are just some of the things we can help with:

Managing Investors

Raising finance is one thing, but how do you manage the expectations, demands and contributions of those who have invested?

Fundamentals of Business Development

Sometimes you need to get back to basics with the fundamentals of how to grow a business. We can take you through step by step and help you work out where your business fits.

Change Management

As a business grows, it will inevitably change. That can cause anxiety, fear and confusion among you and your team, but it doesn’t have to. Managing change the right way can be energising and exciting, and we can show you how.

Finding your Unique Selling Point

You need to stand out from the crowd but you don’t know how. Every business has its unique selling point, and sometimes it takes a fresh pair of eyes to see what you have been staring at all along.

Managing Business Risk

Risk is inevitable if a business is to grow. Knowing when to take a risk and when to play it safe can be a difficult decision, but one we can help you with.

Strategic Planning Tools

As with every aspect of business, having the right tools can be the difference between good and great. What planning tools do you need to really make your business fly.

Preparing for Mergers and Acquisitions

Buying and selling can be fraught with difficulty and complexity. We have years of experience in working with businesses through this transitional period and can help you avoid the pitfalls.

Partnership Development

Sometimes, you don’t want to go it alone. We can work with you to establish what you want for a partnership and what you need to do to find the right one.

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.

She has an abundance of positive energy, and genuinely seeks to improve any given situation. She has an impressive business acumen and her experience levels speak true.
