About + Contact

I help business owners and entrepreneurs with their strategic thinking so they can increase profitability and raise satisfaction levels across the business. I take them out of the problem/solution mindset into a more creative and productive frame of mind.

My specialty is working with people making the shift into self employment. If you are after ‘follow these simple steps for the lifetime of your dreams’ I’m not your man. If you want to embrace the good, the bad and the ugly of self employment then I’m standing by to help.

Whether you need to shift your own thinking, the thinking of your team or even the wider masses, give me a call. Especially if:

you need help making the transition to self employment
business has plateaued or is going backwards
business needs to head in a new direction
you want to leverage your time and expertise but don’t seem to be making progress
you have a clear vision but no-one else seems to get it (yet) or no-one else seems willing to pay for it
you have a clear vision but the steps in between are a bit overwhelming

Modus operandi…

Here’s what’s in the toolbox.

Consulting – business strategy. The practical stuff. Nuts and bolts.
Coaching – personal strategy. Equally practical. What makes you tick (or not) and how to make it work better.
Speaking – group strategy. Leveraging ideas and insights. Shifting perspectives on a larger scale. Irreverent and fun but meaningful and purposeful at the same time.
Writing – more group strategy. More leveraging of ideas and insights.

The back story…

In case you’re interested.

Owner/operator of several small service and manufacturing businesses

It’s given me a great balance of creative and practical strategic experience that we can put to use in your business.
