Are we a good match? 

​We’re business-minded people, but also a people-minded business. Our ideal clients are positive and growth-minded organisations who want to be the best they can be. Bonus points if your business, nonprofit and charity is making a positive difference in the world.

 If any of this rings true, you’ve come to the right place. 

- You’re a leader looking to move to the next level. 

- Your company is growing too fast and bursting at the seams a little or a lot.

- You want to create a business that can work without you.
​
​- You know what you want, but need the right tools and motivation to get there.

"It was by far the best training I’ve had at the university, the standard of which is already very good. I enjoyed the pace, felt you gave us adequate time to work in groups, and that you answered all our questions as we went along. I will definitely start putting what I’ve learned into practice."

How we help...

Business Coaching & Mentoring

If we’ve learned one thing from 14 years in this industry, it’s that every business would benefit from having a coach. Someone with an outside perspective. Someone who ‘gets’ both you AND business. Someone who will always tell you the truth — but do it from a place of caring and absolute belief in your ability. Someone to give you all the tools and motivation to push your business to the next level, whatever it may be. 

And that’s exactly what we do. From long-term strategy to sales and profits, from leadership skills to building and retaining winning teams, we tailor our 1-to-1 business and executive coaching programmes to your needs, strengths and weaknesses (but we can call them ‘areas of improvement’, if that’s your style: see, even the language we use will be you-centric). 
You can chat with Jo to see what business coaching can do for you.
​

Leadership and Management Training

Business transformation starts with people. So that’s where we start. Once we’ve worked out the problems and opportunities, we work with your team to turn your business into the best version of itself. We specialise in solving problems at executive level, including C-Suite teams, helping companies create strong, cohesive management teams, and developing new managers.  We’re fast, flexible, and experienced in working with organisations across the globe, both in person and remotely. 
Our programmes are 100% bespoke and cover all aspects of leadership, management and staff well-being (over 150 subject areas all in all: we’ve counted). We are commercially-aware and results-driven, but we also believe that management training shouldn’t feel like hard work, so we make it interactive and engaging. We love what we do, and it shows in our clients’ results. 
Jo will be happy to help you figure out the best plan of action.
​​

It’s all in the approach ​

Diagnosis
​first!

Maybe you’ve no idea where to start. Maybe you do. Either way, we always start with an open and honest conversation to get to the bottom of the situation and find the best solution.



​​

Match-making as standard

While business is business anywhere you look, that doesn’t mean the same approach will work for everyone. All our programmes are bespoke, and we will pick the exact right trainer for your needs and wants, based on their expertise and personality.​

DISC
​rocks!

Our founder Jo swears by DISC personal profiling and coaching. It’s one of the best tools to improve communication, and our clients’ teams absolutely love it too. That’s why we start every team training programme with a DISC session.

Total
​recall

Training sessions and seminars often leave you all fired up…  only to fizzle out a day later. Our training has retention built in: so you stay on top of what you’ve learned and, most importantly, do all the follow-up work required to get real results from it.​  
​

Right time,
​right place

The world has never felt smaller, and yet time zones and cultural differences are as real as they ever have been. Not to worry: our brilliant team of trainers covers every time zone and has worked with dozens of international teams. 
​

 A personal message from Jo

My life hasn’t always been rosy to say the least, but now I’m one of the fortunate people who get to do what they absolutely love. Helping people become the best version of themselves personally and professionally — that’s what makes my heart sing. So I’ve built a brilliant team who shares my passion and brings this type of transformation to more businesses and organisations the world over in a hands-on, friendly, results-driven, professional but also deeply personal way. 

In my entire career I’ve never met a person or organisation that wouldn’t benefit from a good coach, mentor or trainer. Whether you already know what you need or want some help figuring it out, I would love to talk to you. No obligations: just an open and honest discussion to understand your problems and ambitions and see what we can do for you, your team and your business.
