About Me

Business Support Professional

I’m an experienced business support professional helping businesses perform better and achieve results. I do this through providing advice, coaching and practical support, helping business owners’ focus on what’s important.

By bringing clarity to business thinking, helping to explore solutions to achieve goals, my business clients are much better equipped to move forward, tackle what needs to be done and get the results they want.

I’m a qualified business advisor and business coach, experienced in providing tailored business support and understanding the needs of businesses. I’m well used to helping clients get started on their tasks and projects, providing on-going support, motivation and accountability.

I’ve helped hundreds of businesses over the past 10 years, working with clients on a 1-2-1 basis to achieve maximum benefit and results.

What Support Do You Provide?

BESPOKE SOLUTIONS BASED ON CLIENT NEEDS

Whilst all the support I provide is bespoke and based on client’s needs, there are some typical areas of business consultancy and mentoring that I’m often asked to help with:

  • Producing Lean Business Plans and supporting with their implementation
  • Simplifying and breaking down larger projects into manageable deliverable ‘chunks’
  • Developing concepts and ideas into deliverable actions
  • Creating Marketing Action Plans that provide a clear plan to deliver marketing activity
  • Creating and developing a brand, rebranding and brand implementation

Why Work with a Coach or Mentor?

TAKING ACTION TO BE MORE PROACTIVE

Being in business can present many challenges. As a business owner it can seem like a constant juggling act! From managing staff, keeping on top of the finances, making sales, to maintaining your relationships with customers and clients, there can be pressure to get results, make the right decisions and keep driving the business forward.

You can also reach a point when you know you need to take a step back and review where you’re at, but where do you start? Whilst we may see the warning signs, and know what we should do, the relentless pace of business means we just keep going in the hope that the next week, month or year will get better.

Getting support at such times is often crucial and that’s where a business coach can often help. To re-set the balance, take back control, be proactive rather than reactive, create a plan, and stick to it!

The benefits from business coaching can be support with the following:

  • Getting back Your Focus – being able to focus on what’s important and what will bring results
  • Regain Your Drive and Passion – to start enjoying your business again…and life in general
  • Develop Positive Thinking – having the confidence to overcome barriers and handle things better
  • Create Your Own Road Map – to plan ahead effectively and have a clear path and direction
  • Build Resilience for Yourself and the Business – so there is an inner strength and one which others can draw on.

Some Projects I’ve Been Involved With

WORKING WITH BUSINESS OWNERS TO DELIVER RESULTS

I’ve worked as an Associate helping to deliver projects that support businesses through Boost Business Lancashire, Lancashire’s Growth Hub:

Boost Growth Mentoring

As an Associate with the Small Business Academy, I’ve supported business clients through 12 hours of 1-2-1 mentoring, helping them to identify clear business development goals and produce a Growth Action Plan focused on their needs. Mentoring has assisted business owners in putting their plan into action and overcoming any barriers to implementation. Businesses I’ve supported include those in the Creative Industries, Digital, Retail, Counselling, Coaching, Entertainment and Events sectors.

Boost Business Owner’s Network

As an Associate with Scale-Ability Ltd, I’m assisting with a peer network aimed at building business resilience through equipping non-financial managers with a better understanding of finance and applying this to their own business. I’ve provided over 3 hours of 1-2-1 business coaching and supported participants as they’ve engaged and learnt as a group in a supportive environment. Businesses supported included those in the Health and Wellbeing, Retail, Entertainment and Digital sectors.
