Better Business Academy

better business academy

Helping you realise your potential for a better business and a better life. My mission is to inspire growth focused business owners and managers to realise more of their potential and develop the skills to do the same for others. I provide proven tools, training and support that teaches and enables business owners to think more strategically and create the time working ‘on’ the business more often instead of feeling stuck ‘in’ it. I started in business from a young age and have owned 14 businesses across 11 different industry sectors and including a business I grew from a single garage to an award winning nation-wide business consisting of 19 franchisees inside 4 years. Another, I grew from just an idea to attracting a number of investors and selling its world-first technology product into 55 countries. Others were in financial services, publishing, IT, distribution, an ISP and more. My wealth of ‘real world’ experience along with a corporate management background in banking, financial services, media and food distribution give me a unique advantage when it comes to understanding the challenges facing business owners in today’s competitive world. Since 2003 I have worked closely with more than 200 progressive business owners, held 7000+ face-to-face strategic coaching/mentoring sessions and led hundreds of workshops for business owners, managers and teams. I am one of NZ’s most experienced strategic business coaches and NZ’s only business coach trainer. I am a professionally trained Coach, Licensed Facilitator of the Coach Clinic Training (CoachU, USA and Australia) and an experienced NLP Master Practitioner (INLPTA). I’m married with 6 children and 3 grand-children. My personal interests include learning, coaching, high-performance strategies, surfing and time at the beach with family and friends.
