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.

Waggy Races Dog Training & Walking

About Becki and where Waggy Races started… My name is Becki and I am an Animal Biology BSc Hons and Animal Care HNC graduate. I qualified through COAPE as an Animal Behaviour Practitioner Dip CABT in 2020. I have been working with animals since a young child but professionally started in 2013 when I embarked on my Animal Care HNC. I was employed in a dog daycare whilst doing my degree, then moved on to working in a veterinary practice as a nurse. After a few years there I decided to make the move and become self employed as a dog walker and trainer. In 2019, a few months after completing my Animal Biology degree, where I wrote my dissertation on Flamingos (!!), I enrolled for my Animal Behaviour diploma with COAPE International. This consisted on 50+ hours in a training school, 50+ in a rescue/shelter environment, 100+ hours of lectures and of assessment writing. Additionally, I am qualified in animal nutrition, canine first aid and body language. I am also a Scentwork UK instructor. My main focus has always been on large breeds and reactive dogs, having experienced many and having lived with my own! We recently lost Enzo, our 2 year old Dobermann pictured, shortly after qualifying for Crufts, to an aggressive form of cancer so I currently share my home with my partner Stewart and my 6 year old cat Casper. My training specialities are advanced obedience, dog reactivity and separation anxiety. My aim is to help owners understand their dog and how to pave a better future for them. I do not judge and will always give the best advice and help I can.
