Since starting the company, I felt I had lost direction and the growth of the company had been purely organic with no real strategy or business plan.

I was recommended Oona by another professional in the industry and I noted that Oona had coached many people in the property industry. I was a little concerned that there may be some pre-conceived perceptions regarding the industry, however as soon as I met Oona she understood exactly where I was coming from and what drove me. We planned the business growth and strategy around that and not around what others had done in the past.

Oona has been a sounding board for a number of business decisions, she has helped me pull together and retain an effective team and has helped me look objectively at the business outcomes as well as plan for the future. We have put together an effective business development plan and there have been a number of “light bulb moments” which have given me the direction that I was looking for.

If you are considering coaching – don’t hesitate. It has been of the best decisions I have made and when running a small company (in terms of people employed) and being the only Director, it really pays to have a knowledgeable and experienced sounding board.
