Our Unique Methodology

Our coaching process helps business owners make the critical pivot from manager and doer, to leader and delegator. ​

Transitioning is challenging. Be it from child to adolescent, adolescent to teenager, teenager to adult. Similarly, it is often difficult to transition well from the practice of management to that of leadership. This happens either when your company has grown and different forms of leadership are required, or key staff are promoted. It is often hard to let go of ‘what was’, as these practices may have worked well.

In addition, a degree of proficiency and competence evolves through learning and making mistakes. The questions leaders often ask themselves in this situation is: ” if things are working well at this level, surely they work will at another, so why change?”

Bio

After two rewarding decades in high finance, where as Treasurer and MD for Société Générale Australia I managed a $50 billion balance sheet, a desire to focus on helping others within business motivated me to undertake a Master of Business Coaching.

I went on to establish Game Changer Consulting – a coaching and consulting services business that draws on evidence based coaching process to improve individual, team and business performance. This morphed into Business Coach Sydney, a partnership with other leading business coaches that offers a wide range of coaching experience within a single hub, capable of meeting all the needs of medium size businesses.

I have spent the past decade mentoring, consulting, and coaching businesses, from small to large, across numerous industries. I have seen, and know, how overwhelming and challenging managing a business is, specifically, when there are limited resources available to deal with unlimited issues.

As a business coach, I passionately believe that providing a sounding board and broadening perspective leads to insight and options for new strategies and behaviours, congruent with our own personal desires. A sense of being and feeling purposeful, energetic, and productive (PEP) makes obstacles surmountable, progress sustainable and goals achievable. My coaching aims to put the “pep” back in your step’.
