Donna is a terrific coach who created a brilliant bespoke training programme for our team. It was delivered over some enjoyable and thought-provoking sessions. The programme was designed to get everyone involved and I think we all benefited greatly, both on an individual level and as a team working together. I have no hesitation in recommending Donna, she could not have done more to help us.
Working with Joli is like getting the full package. You’re not just receiving business advice….you’re getting fantastic personal support too. She helps you define and achieve goals that may have seemed out of reach, providing both the practical steps and the encouragement you need to get there. It’s an experience that goes beyond the usual business coaching and dives deeper into creating lasting success. My business saw incredible growth, increasing by 150% – moving from a one-off model to recurring clients. It’s a testament to the strategies and insights I gained during our time working together. Joli really treated my business like it was her own. Her authenticity stands out the most. Joli genuinely cares about helping businesses grow, and that comes through in everything she does. She isn’t just offering advice for the sake of it…she’s passionate about making a real difference. Her integrity and honest approach made a huge impact on me. I also really valued our weekly meetings…they became the highlight of my week. It wasn’t just about strategy but about having someone in my corner who genuinely cared about my progress.
Like many business owners, I found building a successful business challenging, especially around people, finances, and time management. Through Shane and Summit SCALE Business Coaching, I was able to work through these challenges and, between us, solve the vast majority of issues in running a successful business. Specifically, I developed a number of strategies to maintain a constant and manageable flow of inquiries for new customers, managed cashflow until clients became profitable, and delegated within the business so that the right people were doing the right tasks at the right time and the business didn’t rely on me as a business owner. I would highly recommend the coaching program if you are looking to finally build the business that you dreamed of when you started out.
I have known and worked with Donna for over 20 years. She always wants her clients to get the most out of her sessions, and her warm, supportive style and understanding nature help to ensure they do.
In a few sessions, Steve helped me organise the financials and made me realise that burying your head in the sand is far more stressful than getting a grip, understanding what you need, and then creating a solid plan to achieve your goals. He has also helped us to get our products in front of several buyers which would have taken months, if not years to achieve, if we struggled on alone. We have also created a brand new product which shows exciting promise. Since working with Steve our projected yearly turnover has trebled, which will more than cover the cost of the coaching. If you are an ambitious startup/SME then Steve is the man with the plan, he can take your business to the next level while saving your sanity and re-igniting your passion.
Donna is a very experienced trainer and coach who created a specific training programme for our group. She has an open and warm approach and is keen for everyone to benefit from the training, including encouraging individuals to step outside their comfort zones. The training sessions were well structured and prepared. Donna led the sessions but allowed everyone to participate, which encouraged and provoked discussions. Donna also has the valuable skill of keeping the sessions within the mandate given and being able to bring the discussions back in a professional and friendly way if it appears they are going off-topic. It’s been a while since I have enjoyed attending a training session, but Donna’s fresh approach made it worthwhile – highly recommended.
After a few months of working with Shane, I am really encouraged by how things are beginning to line up. I have a new lease of life for my business after having plateaued for a while. Having the accountability of Shane as my coach has made a remarkable difference to our momentum. With a refined business model and some real marketing in place, I am excited about the direction of growth. Shane’s way of working has ensured the coaching journey hasn’t been overwhelming, and my confidence in my business’s future is growing more every day.
Shane has helped us transform our small business into a healthy, profitable, fast-growth company. The powerful strategies that he has given us have improved every aspect of our business. Shane has become an important part of our support network. He has really helped us to keep on track and make sense of what we need to do next.
We have been working with Shane over the last six months. We have really appreciated his insight into the business; having a fresh set of eyes has been invaluable. We would have never put together the new service plan or started the new marketing streams without him, and we know going forward, this will have a huge impact on the business.
I had met a lot of business coaches, and to be honest, I thought they wouldn’t be of any help to me. Having met Shane, I could tell he was different. He has a way of explaining things that just makes perfect sense. Having conversations with Shane, his insights, and the questions he asks, prompts me to think about my business in completely different ways. Shane has helped me understand the value of systems to expanding my business and learn the value of my time so that I have become a lot more productive and focused. I can highly recommend Shane as a business coach.
