Work with one of our coaches to transform your Business!
Coaching can show you how to achieve your key business goals more quickly, at the same time creating a more resilient business that will cope well in the current climate, and is poised to move positively into the future.
A business coach acts as a sounding board and mentor as you plan the future of your business. He or she can offer clarity and focus, bringing a valuable alternative perspective to familiar challenges, as well as new possibilities. All of our business coaches have extensive experience of working in and with small and medium-sized businesses.
"It can be ‘lonely at the top’ as the saying goes. Terry provided me with an invaluable listening ear as we restructured the business. There were many times when he challenged my thinking and brought a fresh perspective to the table. Our growth is now much more rounded and confident as a result. We really know who we are and where we’re going."

How does coaching work in practice?
Our sessions are conducted either by telephone, instant chat or e-mail. Many clients like to use a combination of these three approaches. This ensures that coaching is available at a time and place to suit you, including weekends, evenings or early mornings if that fits in best with your schedule.
It also means that although our main office is based in Scotland, our clients and coaches are located around the world.
How long do sessions take?
Telephone and Instant Chat sessions are a minimum of 30 minutes long, up to a maximum of one hour. E-mails can be as long as you wish. The initial session is usually the longest, as your coach will be gathering information about you and helping you both to understand what you expect to gain from coaching. After this initial session it is up to you how many sessions you would like to have, although typically clients work with a coach for between three and six months. Together we can select a Business Coaching package that will suit the type of sessions and support that you will need.
We will agree diary dates for telephone or Instant Chat sessions, and if relevant provide you with a web page address where you can meet with your coach at the mutually agreed time.
Prior to beginning work with your coach, we will send to you a copy of our Business Coaching agreement which that outlines each of our responsibilities. In addition we may send you some exercises to complete and return prior to the first session. This is particularly helpful if you are uncertain as to what aspects of your business you wish to work on. It ensures that the sessions are focused from the beginning and the time you spend working with your coach is valuably spent.
How much does coaching cost?
Please refer to our booking page for up-to-date information about the cost of coaching sessions.
Confidentiality
Business Coaching is 100% Confidential, and you can be assured that whatever you wish to discuss you are not being judged in any way.
Any information that your coach retains will be for his or her personal use only, will be stored securely, and will not be passed on to any other person or company.
Who will my coach be?
When you book your first coaching session, we'll match you to the business coach whose experience and background seems most suited to you, and they will contact you to introduce themselves.
All of our coaches are experienced professionals, but we appreciate that sometimes a client might not gel with a particular coach, or for personal reasons might prefer to work with a different coach. In this situation, because of our large network of coaches, we are able to transfer clients to an alternative coach, no questions asked.
