The Real Challenge of Growing a Business
Growing a business isn’t as straightforward as the books make it seem.
You need to keep your team focused, make plans actually happen, and lead at the level your business now demands from you.
All of that has to work together if you want to get results.
But when you’re in the thick of it, it’s hard to step back and see what’s needed, and you can’t bring every issue to your team.
So you carry the weight.
With the right support you can build the business you want — faster, with fewer headaches and a lot less stress.
Here’s How We Get All Three Working Together:
Results Systems
Most business plans gather dust. We turn your plan into action.
We make sure it’s clear what needs to be done and break it into simple steps. Your team will know exactly what to do.
When everyone knows their role in the plan, they stop asking you for every decision and start getting things done.
High-Performing Team
You’ll learn how to really fire up your team. We’ll work on how you talk, delegate, and build trust so your people feel confident to get on with it.
Hiring new people costs a lot these days. If your team isn’t firing on all cylinders, it hits your bottom line hard.
You’ll become the leader your team actually wants to follow.
High-Impact Leader
How you perform drives the business. Here, you build strong habits to be at your best every day.
We help you stay calm under pressure and keep the kind of presence that earns respect.
This is about winning at work, at home, and with your health—because success without balance isn’t real success.
The Result:
When all three parts come together, your team works on their own, solves problems without you, and delivers results you can trust. That’s when your business runs itself—instead of running you.
Here’s Why This Works Faster
Most coaching and training is slow and full of theory. I do it differently.
You get proven tools and templates you can use right away—because I’ve tested them myself.
The work moves fast because I use quick techniques based on how people really change.
Some parts take more time, but this program focuses only on what you need.
No months wasted on theory. Just practical tools that change how you lead and how your team performs—so you see results fast.
Business Leadership Accelerator
3 – 6 Month Intensive Programme:
We don’t just talk about leading better and building teams—we make it happen.
With two 90-minute sessions each month, you’ll see progress every week.
By the end, you’ll have teams and systems running smoothly, and a business that works for you.
Business Leadership Partner Programme
Your Trusted Confidant:
After we’ve laid the groundwork, many clients choose to keep the support going.
This means regular sessions to keep things moving, handle new challenges, and make sure the team keeps delivering as the business grows.
You’ll have one 90-minute session each month.
Why Leaders Trust Me
I’ve been in your shoes. I get the pressure of building a team that delivers, so work gets done, and you can go after the growth that’s there for the taking.
I was the HR Director of a fast-growing SME, brought in to build the team needed to support rapid expansion.
With a corporate background, I learned very fast that what works there doesn’t work in an SME. It has to be simpler, faster, and doable with tighter cash flow.
So I re-engineered an approach that helped the business expand rapidly across Europe in a controlled way, while also winning awards for the culture we built.
And because everything moved so fast, I know the pressure that comes with it. I lived it.
That led me to explore the psychology and science behind performance and find practical tools that actually help—because the way I was working wasn’t sustainable.
These tools are grounded in how behaviour really changes, not just theory. They help leaders and their teams perform at a higher level, faster and more sustainably.
It made a massive difference. These days, I get more done with less stress and show up at my best, not just at work, but on the health and home front too.
Now I coach MDs, CEOs, and business owners to do the same: grow their business by building a team that delivers. So far, 152 have used this approach to increase profits, strengthen their team, and free up time for themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to see results?
Most clients see a difference from the very first session. Measurable business results typically start appearing within 4-6 weeks as new habits take hold.
What if I'm already working with a business coach?
This work often complements other business support. We focus specifically on you as a leader, your team dynamics, and ensuring your strategy gets delivered – areas that general business coaching often doesn’t address in depth.
How do I know if this is right for my business?
If too much still runs through you, your team relies on you to fix things, and you want to build your team and business without sacrificing your wellbeing, this is perfect. The free consultation will help determine if it’s a good fit.
What's the difference between the Accelerator and Partner Programme?
The Accelerator is where most clients start – an intensive 3 6 month programme to get the foundations working. The Partner Programme provides ongoing support once those foundations are solid
What businesses do you work with?
I specialise in coaching Managing Directors, CEOs, and business owners in engineering, manufacturing, and technology businesses—typically small to mid-sized companies with 20 to 200 employees.
That said, I also work with leaders from other industries and occasionally support larger corporates who value a practical, results-focused approach.
The common thread is clients who want to build stronger teams, improve leadership, and grow their business without getting stuck firefighting day to day.
If that sounds like your business and you’re serious about getting better results through your people, we’ll work well together.
Do you work face-to-face or online?
I mainly work online, as this allows me to support clients across the UK.
However, if you’re local to Portishead, Bristol, North Somerset, or nearby coastal areas and prefer face-to-face meetings, I’m happy to meet in person.
I also travel to client sites from time to time to run training sessions or workshops.
Whether online or in-person, my coaching is tailored to fit your needs.
