How can you help with business expansion / growth?
We make the biggest impact with companies and organisations that are looking to grow / expand. Our role is to combine strategy, experience, industry best practices and the most powerful global coaching methodologies to help businesses achieve that growth as quickly and as efficiently as possible.Do all businesses go on the same program?
While growth is a common objective, the way to reach that objective is different for each business, which is why our programs are highly tailored. We use the Kaizen system to identify gaps in the areas of People and Processes, and create a curated program that will work on improving operations, increasing profitability, and reinforce the team and leadership’s capabilities.Who would I work with?
Our award-winning coaches and consultants specialise in different areas of business, and who you work with depends on the challenge areas you’re looking to address, and the goals you are looking to achieve.What is my investment?
Our coaching packages work on a monthly retainer basis. The investment ranges from $850 - $2500 per month, depending on the frequency of sessions, the intensity with which you want to move forward, the areas you need to work on, and which team members the coach will be working with.How do you measure results?
When we start working together we will first help you define the end result, as that will greatly impact the kind of strategies we implement and the results you can expect. We will then define specific metrics related to the objectives, and how those will be used to track and measure results.What if I don’t get the desired results?
The Kaizen Guarantee states that once the outcomes have been agreed on, we will achieve those goals within the agreed timeframe. If not, we continue working, at no charge, until the goals have been hit.How do I start?
Contact us through our website enquiry form, phone or email to book an initial call with one of our coaches. The first coaching session (also called the Insight Session) is always free of charge, so you’ll get a really good idea of what coaching is going to look like for you going forward.What is an Insight Session?
The Insight Session is your chance to experience what an actual coaching session will be like with your coach. You will work on identifying challenges, prioritising what needs to be worked on, and getting clarity on how to execute.What is business coaching?
Business Coaching is a partnership, with the aim to create measurable, sustainable change in your business.How long is the business coaching program?
Our minimum term contract is 12 months, with an allowance to end the contract at any point after the initial 6 months. Great results take time to build, and although you will start seeing small wins quickly, it’ll take time to see significant, long-term results.What if I want to cancel early?
We strongly recommend you allow the coaching program the time it needs to show results. However, if there are extenuating circumstances, we will work with you to find a suitable solution.What kind of results can I expect?
The clients we have worked with have seen tremendous results in the areas of Leadership, People, Finance, Operations and Technology. Here are some case studies to give you an idea of the results you can expect:Keep in mind that your results are largely tied to the type of business, your long-term vision, and the current challenges.
