I have been assisting Australian businesses for 30+ years and am considered an industry expert.  Coupled with formal qualifications, those decades of experience are gold.  I have worked with numerous business owners to show them their own success.  Primarily I work with service-based businesses; professionals, allied health, tradies and other coaches and trainers.  Whilst Brisbane-based, my clients are geographically all over Australia.  Practical, experienced, supportive, down to earth, focussed and even a little driven – the attributes I use to get the most out of you.  My approach is varied and flexible – based on YOUR needs.
