Frequently Asked Questions

What size companies do you work with?

My typical clients are leaders of established companies in Cape Town, South Africa, generating revenue of between R15m and R500m per year.

What industries do you cover in Cape Town?

I work with companies across various industries – from tech, financial services, retail, construction, and professional services firms to engineering companies and architects. I can do this because certain fundamental principles and practices must be in place for any company to grow and scale, regardless of the industry.

What are the different coaching packages you offer?

One-on-one coaching.This option suits smaller clients where no executive or leadership team exists (i.e. it’s just you, the founder). We’ll meet once every two weeks in person or over Zoom.
Workshops + one-on-one coaching. This package is our most popular and includes a full-day workshop every three months with you and your leadership team PLUS one-on-one coaching.Your company’s strategy will be set, tested, and refined. We’ll also create a plan of action for the execution of your strategy. We’ll review and reset this plan every three months, working towards your annual objectives. (Click here to learn more about this process).In between these workshops, I’ll help you execute the plan by meeting with you (and potentially your leadership team) in one-on-one coaching sessions.In these meet-ups, I’ll act as a sounding board to help you overcome the challenges you face as you execute your plan. I’ll also provide tools and insights to make it easier to implement the required steps.
Workshops only. Some clients are only interested in the strategy and planning workshops (and not the one-on-one coaching in between). If you’d like me to facilitate a once-off workshop with your team to help you develop a strategy and execution plan for the year and then only facilitate workshops every quarter, this option is for you.

All options include access to:

An online hub that gives your management team access to the strategy and action plans. This platform makes it easy for all of you to track your progress against the set outcomes.
A cloud-based Personal Learning Platform for each team member. Here, they can access a range of learning modules that will teach and equip them with the skills required to build a successful business. Topics include everything from setting strategy to best-practice hiring methodologies. Access to this platform brings learning into the workplace. The bonus is that you can tailor the training to your organisation’s priorities, helping you to reach your goals faster.

What is the difference between coaching and consulting?

Google has much to say about this, but here’s a simple answer:

Both consultants and business coaches focus on helping to solve business problems. The difference is that consultants are specialists who solve specific problems for your business, i.e. they’re hands-on, helping you to do the work.

Conversely, a business coach takes the approach of improving you (and your leadership team) so that you can solve these problems yourself. Coaches typically provide insights, tools, and structure. They also challenge your thinking.

An even shorter answer is that coaching is “done with you”, and consulting is “done for you”.

What areas of the business do you cover?

The GROWth Formula sets out what you need to master to build a truly successful business.

The good news is that you don’t have to get everything done at once. I’ll work with you to help you identify and focus on one or two areas that will have the biggest impact on your business in the shortest time. From here, we’ll move on to other areas.

The GROWth Formula has four components:

Setting direction. Together, we’ll create a clear business strategy to ultimately give your company a sustainable competitive advantage.
You the leader. I’ll help you become the best leader you can be, as your business success is directly linked to your leadership capabilities.
Winning team. I’ll help you set a good team and team-development plan in place. As you can’t scale a company by yourself, you need to surround yourself with the right people who remain by your side.
Operational excellence. To succeed, you must achieve operational excellence in every area – from sales and marketing to financial management, business processes, and strategic planning and execution. We’ll look at whether you’re prioritising and executing the right things.
