Is Your Team Suffering from Role Ambiguity?

Ever noticed how some teams run like a well-oiled machine while others feel more like organised chaos? One often-overlooked reason is a lack of role ...

Don't take it from us

Business coaching can make your dreams possible...

Finding the right coach has been transformational, and I highly recommend it. I now genuinely feel like a CEO. I have people managing the operational, administrative and client sides of the business, so I’m no longer involved in the day-to-day. I’ve gone from working 80-hour weeks to 40-hour weeks. I’m working smarter, not harder.

Claria Melia, Business Owner, Equitory

As an architect, we’re not taught anything about business during our years of education. You’re left to figure it out as you go along. After 15 years in business, we realised we still didn’t really know what we were doing. ActionCOACH UK gave us the business knowledge and structure we’d been missing from day one. Since working with them, our turnover has increased by 100%, we have our weekends back, and we no longer have that constant pressure of worrying about getting to the end of the month.

Robert Gilmour, Business Owner, Gilmour Architect

You should definitely hire a business coach, if only for the fact that you have a mentor to bounce ideas off, a clear plan in place, and someone to hold you accountable. In our first year, we increased our business by 35%. It goes to show that the work you put in is worth it. I now have the flexibility to work from home and, most importantly, have the choice to be at home with my family.

David Rosskelly, Business Owner, Tru Office

When I started, it was just me and a single employee. Within 12 months, my net profit had tripled. Since then, we’ve grown to a team of 12 and gone on to acquire additional companies. It’s a completely different business, and it’s transformed our family life too. None of this would have been possible without ActionCOACH UK.

Louise Seagar, Business Owner, The Inspiration Agency

There is no way we would have achieved what we have without the coaching and the learning we gained through ActionCOACH UK. It gave us the foundation to grow the business to £50M. We simply would not have been able to achieve that, or grow at the pace we have, without ActionCOACH UK.
