Coaching FAQs
How do I know if I need a coach?
If I asked you right now:
What is your vision for the next 1 - 5 years?
What will your business look like when it's finished?
What do I need to do to prepare my business for sale?
What could you do right now to transform your business?
Would you know the answers?
If I asked you if you’re feeling…
Unhappy with the profitability of your business
Like your business can’t run without you
Frustrated that your business won’t move forward
That you want to grow your business but don’t know how
You’re lacking in focus and have no-one to bounce ideas off with
Do any of these sound like you? If yes, then it could be time to take that first step in making a serious change!
Will coaching be right for me?
Ask yourself…
Do I want to grow as a person?
Do I want to become a better leader?
Do I want to progress my business to the next level?
Am I happy with the results I’m currently getting?
Do I want to transform the type of life I lead?
If you answered yes to any of the above then I can safely say ‘yes!’, coaching is probably right for you!
Will you be the right coach for me???
Coaching isn’t just about results, it’s also about the strength of the coaching relationship.
A coaching programme is both a business and a personal decision, so you need to ensure you choose the right coach for your needs.
Before we begin, it’s important to ask yourself “is this person the right fit for my business?” and “can I see myself opening up to them on a weekly basis?”.
To achieve the results you want, both of us need to feel like we will be able to work together, which is why I’ll only ever begin coaching someone if I know…
There's an opportunity to see a quick return on investment from the coaching sessions
Working with me will help you achieve your goals quicker than by yourself.
That we are a good fit for each other
If all three are a yes, then fantastic, we can then work together to pick the right coaching programme for you and your business.
If one or more are a no, then we probably shouldn’t be working together, at least, not right now!
The only way to discover this is by having a quick chat.
How will coaching benefit me and my business?
Coaching is about both you and your business in equal measure. Your business simply won’t grow if you don’t grow with it!
This is why coaching with me will benefit you and your business in two distinct ways:
Transactional Benefits
These tend to be more practical , focusing on organisation and performance, helping your business to:
Become more profitable
Deliver better results
Drive more sales
Recruit and retain great talent
Systemise your business
Transformational Benefits
These tend to be more personal, enabling you to learn and grow as an individual by:
Increasing your confidence and self-belief
Identifying and removing the biggest things that are holding you back
Helping you become a better leader
Becoming the best version of yourself
How does the process work?
You’ve decided coaching might be right for you and you’re ready to take the first steps to transforming your business, and your life.
So what are the next steps?
Introduction Call
If you are interested in coaching just ping me an email and we can arrange a quick call.
This will be an informal chat to determine if I can help you grow your business. If it looks like I can, we’ll arrange a time to speak in more detail to work out how that might look.
If it looks like coaching is not for you, I’m not the right fit or the timing isn’t right, we won’t proceed. However if I know someone that would be better suited to help you then I’ll be happy to put you in touch with them
Complimentary Coaching Session
There is no better way of knowing if we should be working together other than to have a coaching session, and the first one's on me!
Throughout this complimentary session we’ll look at where your business is now compared to where you want it to be. We’ll discuss what type of roadblocks you’ve hit, or expect to hit, as you progress towards your goal.
By the end of this coaching session, it will be clear as to whether coaching is right for you, and if we should be working together! If we’re the right fit for each other, you then choose the coaching programme that’s best for you and your business.
What can I expect from you?
As your business coach and mentor you can expect to receive…
Results
Whether you want to increase profitability, grow your business, achieve financial freedom, improve your work life balance, create more productive teams or become a better leader, I’ll ensure you see the results you want.
Someone To Keep You Focused & Hold You Accountable

With 25 years experience of running my own businesses and coaching clients, I’ve seen it all. This enables me to give expert insights, enabling you to see results and grow.

Which package is right for me?
Coaching is a big commitment, which is why it’s important to pick the package which is best suited for you and your needs.
1:1 Coaching
This programme is designed for those businesses who are determined to achieve significant growth in the next 12 months.
The next step for you might be building a larger team, increasing profitability, preparing your business for sale or creating a business that works without you.
Whatever your goal, this is a bespoke coaching programme which will enable you to get the results you’re after at a much faster pace.
Group Coaching
Starting a business can feel extremely overwhelming, but we all have to start somewhere. These sessions are specially designed for young start ups and those at the beginning of their journey.
During the sessions, you’ll be joined by like minded business owners where you’ll learn the skills you need to drive your business forward.
I’ll be there to guide you throughout every step, whilst also holding you accountable and focussed on the things that will take your business to the next level!
Growth Club - 90 Day Planning Workshop
To ensure you stay focussed on the things that will move your business forward, I host a 90 day planning workshop every quarter.
This is an interactive session to help you break down both your business and personal goals into bite sized chunks, enabling you to create actionable steps and absolutely nail your goals.
If you’d like to receive a more detailed overview of each plan then click here and I’ll ping one across.
What additional support will I receive?
Whichever coaching package you choose, you’ll also receive:
Monthly newsletters. These will provide you with the latest industry insights, valuable tips as well as exclusive offers and discounts to my workshops.
Business support. As a client, I’ll always be on the lookout for business opportunities, referrals and relevant introductions for you and your business.
Webinars & Workshops. Whether it’s helping you increase conversions, improve your sales script or transform your mindset, I host a range of interactive online workshops to take your business to the next level.
Access to over 1000 coaches worldwide. If I don’t know the answer, chances are I’ll be able to put you in touch with an ActionCOACH who will.
Additional tools and resources. From 90 day planning workbooks to self development guides, there’s a huge range of additional resources I can provide you with.
What happens if I don’t see results?
I’ll never begin coaching with someone if I don’t see an opportunity to make a real difference to their business. The bottom line is that I expect you to make a strong return on investment from coaching.
As we all know, nothing in life is guaranteed... well sometimes!
My Guarantee
If after six months I haven't increased your profits by more than your investment in coaching I’ll refund you the difference. Simple as that!
