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.
