Let’s BeginThe Best Business and Leadership Coaching,
Uses a Proven Methodology
Three decades of innovation, development and improvement, has resulted in a powerful and proven methodology, for scaling both businesses & their owners, all the way from ‘Start ups’, to ‘Global Enterprises’. We call it the ‘Action Business Operating System’ (ABoS). A thorough assessment will allow us to prescribe the best plan for you specific needs. We cover the basics if you’re beginning—and provide appropriate education and guidance, as you level up. You can have complete confidence, that our wisdom and experience, will have you moving in the right direction, at all times.
Maximising Financial Performance
Increasing revenue and productivity, equals much higher profits, with much less effort and expense. This is most often where we start, with a lot ‘low hanging fruit’ from a strategic perspective, that results in quick wins.
Time Mastery
Time is our most limited resource, especially for business owners under pressure to coordinate so many functions; and provide answers and solutions, for so many issues. Our early focus, will be on highlighting ‘unworthy’ activities and getting them effectively delegated; and reducing ‘spontaneous’ communication, for more proactive methods of time management and communication.
Business Design & Structure
This skill is essential, for profits to increase, while your personal effort decreases, when you grow, beyond half-a-dozen employees. The business plan we develop together, will keep us on-track to achieve your goals.
Personal Growth
A business is always a reflection of the owner. Your ‘Transformational Coaching’, works ‘hand-in-hand’ with the ‘Transactional Coaching’, to ensure that personal sabotage, doesn’t happen.
Exploring the Opportunity
The journey beyond your ‘Comfort Zone’ will definitely be challenging. Your free and ‘no obligation’ 60 minute, Discovery Session, allows us, to hear your story and what got you ‘HERE’, so we know tomorrow’s ‘starting point’ and can calculate the route to your Vision. You also, need clarity of the journey ahead, & what to expect, so you can decide, if you have the character, resilience & resources, to undertake it & embrace the growth and rewards that come. There’s no risk, cost, or conditions; just an opportunity to explore a different path, be inspired and get some fresh ideas.
You’ll Never Be Alone as Part of the ActionCOACH Community
Our community is filled with business experts, and your fellow business owners, who all get fulfilment from the Growth they receive and the contribution they make, within the community. You’ll enjoy a calendar of events that you can attend, from Social Catchups; to Workshops & Retreats; to full-on International Conferences.
Leaving the sceptics behind, and joining a ‘tribe’ that fully supports your aspirations, is an important requisite for permanent and true personal, professional and business development.

Build A Business with Real Capital Value
Over 96% of businesses, have no value beyond their ‘equipment and stock’, when the owner has ‘had enough’ and tries to sell their ‘demanding job’. Sweat Equity has no value and buyers are indifferent to how much backpay and holidays are owed.
The Capital Value of a business is not defined by its revenue, or profits, but what’s it worth when the owner doesn’t work in.
Personal & Professional Transformation
The skills you learn during your coaching journey, can be applied to any and multiple businesses in the future. Your transformation into an Entrepreneur and Investor, will be a life-long benefit.

“I have had the pleasure of working with Lauren on my business for the last 8 months. During this time I have felt nothing but supported and honestly, like I had another team member. She never felt like ‘just a coach,’ I really needed the accountability while working towards a few big business goals and she is always right there with me with all the tools and support needed. I particularly needed help with getting my finances in order and really getting to the nitty gritty of my profit margins, and she kept me accountable, helped mw with the process, and guided me on how to approach suppliers to lower wholesale rates. I cannot recommend Lauren highly enough and love having her on my team”
