Q: What exactly is business coaching?
A: Business coaching is about stepping back from the day-to-day and focusing on growing your business. I’ll act as a sounding board, challenge your thinking, and help you put systems in place that free you up and accelerate growth.
Q: How is business coaching different from consultancy?
A: A consultant usually comes in with the answers. A coach works alongside you, asking the right questions and helping you discover the best solutions for your business. That way, both you and your team grow.
Q: Do I need a certain size business to benefit?
A: No. Whether you’re just starting to scale or you’ve been running for years, coaching helps you focus, clarify, and grow.
Q: What can I expect when working with you?
A: Expect great conversations that lead to fabulous results. We’ll uncover what’s holding your business back, and you’ll leave each session with clear, practical actions.
Q: Do you work with individuals or teams?
A: Both. Many start one-to-one, and others join peer-to-peer groups where accountability and shared learning create even greater results.
Q: How often would we meet?
A: Most clients meet monthly, but we’ll agree a rhythm that suits you.
Q: What is a SmartBoard?
A: SmartBoards are facilitated peer-to-peer groups of business owners. Together, we share challenges, hold each other accountable, and generate fresh ideas. It’s a powerful way to grow as a leader and to realise you’re not alone on the journey.
Q: Can I use Smart90 without joining a SmartBoard?
A: Yes, though many clients find combining both delivers the best results. Smart90 helps you plan, and SmartBoards help you stay accountable and learn from others.
Q: How soon will I see results?
A: Often within weeks. Smart90, in particular, helps you make immediate improvements by focusing on your next 90 days. Bigger transformations take time, but consistency pays off.
Q: What is Smart90?
A: Smart90 is a 90-day planning system designed to help you set clear priorities and stay on track. You’ll create a simple, visual plan for the next quarter so you can stop firefighting and focus on what really matters.
Q: How much does business coaching cost?
A: Costs vary depending on whether you join a SmartBoard, use Smart90, or work one-to-one. I’ll always be clear up front — no surprises.
Q: I’m already too busy — how can I fit coaching in?
A: That’s exactly why coaching, SmartBoards, and Smart90 help. They give you the headspace to work on the business, not just in it — saving time in the long run.
Q: How do SmartBoards and Smart90 work together?
A: Smart90 gives you the structure, while SmartBoards provide accountability and support. Together, they make sure your plans don’t just sit on a shelf — they get implemented.
Q: Is there a long-term commitment?
A: No. Although we ask you to make a short term commitment of on year most clients stay because they see the value, not because they’re tied into contracts.
Q: Will you tell me how to run my business?
A: No. My role is to guide, challenge, and support. You’ll always remain in control of decisions.
