BUSINESS COACHING – First few weeks going well!!

by Leave a Comment

Hello world… I can report that the start up phase of “Business Changing” business is moving… along… I am lucky to be working with some very interesting clients.

What is striking me as interesting is there really is some similarity between most of my clients… Successful business, great potential… But I am glad to report that I am able to help them, so that is very exciting… There are some facets in their business that they are asking for help, encouragement, new ideas, you name it, on and to date we are coming up with some really good stuff together. I look forward to looking at the progress made in 12 months plus time. What I am seeing is that business owners often just need another perspective and then collectively we can come up with some really cool directions that they get very excited about (so do I!).

The really interesting thing about “business changing” advice is that it is up to the business I am working with to take what we agree might be a good idea, and to run with it. Inaction on advice means we will have little chance of changing the world from their business’ perspective. The great thing is that the businesses I am working with to date are implementing what we thought would be good ideas, and the feedback (early days!) is very encouraging.

I am enjoying doing some guest speaking also. For companies, Chamber of Commerce, and a University – all fun. Every time you present you find new ways to communicate.

I am doing my first round of webinars also… On November 11, I am doing a webinar (seminar online) on “how to create the best workplace” for NZICA (NZ Institute of Chartered Accountants, so watch out all you accountant managers and CA firms for some positive impact on your workplace!)…

My second webinar is one I am putting on myself, in conjunction with the New Zealand Retailers Association (you know, John Albertson and his team who do a great job for the NZ Retail Industry). It is called “Retail KPIs, to maximise your sales and profit” and will cover :

“Understanding Key Performance Indicators is often a missing link in trying to increase your sales and profitability. You have so much information in your business – this webinar (online seminar from the comfort of your own desk) will help you identify the right KPIs for your retail business. You will gain a greater understanding of what they actually mean and you will learn when to react from what they are saying and when to pat someone on the back. Essential for every retailer to maximise your sales and profitability! You don’t know what you don’t know!”

I hope you are able to join me on these upcoming webinars… Check out NZICA Events and Instant Presenter signup

Have a great rest of the month! Hope sales are tracking well for you… Look forward to hearing from you if you need a hand on any part of your business…

Cheers

Zac

  • "Transformational… Revolutionary… Awesome… Take your pick! Our business looks nothing like it did just three months ago – our brand is visible in the market, there’s a buzz about what we are doing, doors are opening and our heads are in the game. Business Changing changes business for the better… I’m very very thankful we met – my only regret is that we didn’t seek you out sooner!"

  • "The business planning workshop run by Zac is a great opportunity to challenge existing thinking in your business and take results to the next level. The workshop was well thought out and provided a structured environment to channel ideas and ambitions. Zac has the perfect presenting style allowing for plenty of interaction amongst your team and networking with other business from a variety of backgrounds. Highly recommended"

  • "Zac’s business workshop totally exceeded my expectations. The two days are well planned out to ensure your thought process takes you through the various stages needed to question why you are in business, where your business currently is at and where you want your business to be. Provoking questions, explanations, stories, presentations from successful entrepreneurs and of course Zac’s personal attention ensure you walk away with a clear and dynamic business plan. The venue was perfect, the lunch and refreshments sublime."
    Rachel Kann, IQ Property Management
  • "Great two-day workshop that gives you a chance to reflect on your business, and focus on key points that need to be addressed to maximize your effectiveness and outcomes. The workshop was both entertaining and informative and really helped us to think about how we might navigate Covid / post-Covid, and plan out our next few years to guide the direction of the business. Food and hospitality was also great. Highly recommended!"
    Nelson Raynor, Isle of Eden
