Being great at your job doesn't always equate to running a great business! Here is how Karen Walter doubled the turnover of her business in just 2 years with a lot of smart work and a little bit of help from ActionCOACH Australia and New Zealand.

Business Owner

In a non-judgemental and non-confrontational way, Chris got us to refocus on a lot of things we had been doing by rote. We were able to justify, improve and change the way we did things, for the better. The best thing Chris did was not present a 'know it all' attitude and he took the time to hear our story and our needs. There was a level of trust that we certainly have never developed with any non-director. I'd 10/10 recommend him to others!

He shared his lateral thinking, strategic and problem-solving skills in our coaching sessions, to see things from a fresh perspective and re-engage my personal power.
