The Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) master Gillian Skeer is a cornerstone of our growth.

She used NLP on our team, a method that taught us effective strategies for reframing negative thoughts. The results? An unyielding mindset and winning adaptability.

Gillian also employed hypnotherapy, a technique using guided hypnosis to solve psychological or emotional issues. The calming state induced by the therapy empowered our team to tackle work-related anxiety and break free from self-imposed barriers.

For the drawbacks, do note that hypnotherapy has limitations. Gillian knows her stuff, but some people might suffer from adverse effects such as nausea or false memories, rather than achieving a trance.

Another minor issue is her website, which requires a refresh in aesthetics and color contrast.

Truly Impactful

“Gill’s relatable and honest approach made the group workshop I participated in truly impactful. The extended 1-on-1 call sparked deeper reflection and more strategic goal setting. With her vast experience and unwavering support, Gill has been instrumental in my development journey. I look forward to working with Gill more and encourage anyone seeking personal growth or career development to reach out to her.”

Kate De Jong is the expert to call if you’re looking for purpose-driven coaching for your service-based or start-up business.

While her style isn’t heavy on psychological techniques, she’s a whiz when it comes to designing efficient schedules, marketing, and budget plans. In short, she’ll coach you on how to maximize your revenue while cutting your clock-ins.

In addition, Kate is a master of identifying the best growth strategies during various business periods, like the start-up and profit phases. She uses a tailored, highly detailed “mapping” approach, ensuring all components are in the right order.

We also have to give props to her online sessions, meticulously covering low-risk, high-reward moves, such as expanding your market, utilizing ads for profit, generating passive income, and adopting a CEO mindset.

The service above requires commitment, though, as the sessions occur twice monthly and span 12 months in total.

Shows Great Professionalism

“It is really great to work with Kate. It is rare to work with someone that really cares, shows great professionalism and has a strong business acumen. The final result is a clear and concise pathway forward for my business. Kate also nudged us along (gently) through introductions to some of her many business contacts. If you have been spinning wheels for a little while, it’s time to get some assistance and you can’t go wrong with Kate.”

A True Professional

“When I reached out to Kate about a year ago, I didn’t really know where to start. We’ve been working together consistently for 12 months now, and I am so very grateful for how much she’s guided me on implementing strategies to get my business up and running. Kate new exactly what I needed. She is one of a kind, a true professional, compassionate and brilliant with her craft. I look forward to continue on working with Kate and highly recommend her services to anyone that needs support with their business. Regards, Antonia.”

We personally know numerous entrepreneurs and teams who call Suzanne Laidlaw “The Queen of Business Planning.” Given her internationally recognized credentials and mastery of the subject, the title fits perfectly.

Suzanne’s 1-on-1, group, and online coaching gets down to brass tacks, often incorporating topics like setting a goal, strategically reaching the said goal, and developing the business further once the goal is reached.

The clients we’ve interviewed also praise her use of DISC profiling. Through the tool’s behavioral, psychometric, and cognitive assessments, Suzanne aids entrepreneurs in picking the right team composition.

However, there’s a downside to the said tool. Specifically, its emphasis on measurable outcomes might overlook qualitative aspects of business.

Another drawback is the Tuesday schedule of her group meetings. Dedicating 5 to 6 hours on a weekday can be challenging for startups.

Lastly, some services don’t sufficiently address the psychological and emotional challenges business owners face.

We Have Learnt Much

“Suzzanne has been our business coach for several years and has added immensely not only to our bottom line but also to our knowledge of business processes and how to create a business plan worth following. The group coaching sessions provide valuable insights into the problems other businesses have and we have learnt much from that as well. I can highly recommend Suzzanne and her team to help take your business to the next level.”

If You Want to Grow Your Business, This Is the Place to Go

“We have been with Suzanne for around 4 years now. In that time, we have grown from a team of 4 to a team of 16. This rapid growth would not have been possible without the teachings, guidance, and planning from Suzanne’s team and the associated businesses within Suzanne’s group. If you want to grow your business, this is the place to go.”

Beyond Purpose’s Nathan Archer might not be the most seasoned coach on this list, but he can still put you on the right track.

For starters, his business coaching is tailored to fit your vision, whether your goal is to strengthen workplace culture or raise productivity levels. His specialty, however, is formulating evidence-based business and leadership strategies.

Nathan also shines in life coaching. With the help of scientific methods, he will comprehensively design a plan to be used for overcoming obstacles and increasing confidence levels.

However, a small concern, as stated in the intro, is Nathan’s experience; he has over a decade of coaching, but others on the list have 20 years or more. 

Furthermore, Beyond Purpose only offers 3 programs: business coaching, life coaching, and high-performance/executive coaching. This number pales in comparison to the previous entries’ services.

Played a Crucial Part in Harmonising Our Workplace

“Nathan has a wealth of business, SEO and general knowledge and advice that can’t be rivalled. He has played a crucial part in harmonising our workplace and providing marketing expertise that has seen our business grow. He has not only given us relevant strategies to implement, but monitored our progress with them which showed he actually genuinely cared about the success of our business. I thoroughly recommend Nathan to anyone who wants to reach their full business potential.”

Maxwell Nevermann, Google Review

Made Such an Impact

“Nathan came highly recommended to me as the ideal person to facilitate a guest expert session on SEO optimisation for my mastermind group! He was amazing!!! His presentation was easy to understand and removed all the confusion around understanding SEO for my members. He made such an impact, that my members are still talking about how incredible the session was!

If science-driven strategies and online-only services are your preference, Advanced Business Abilities (ABA) is the coaching group to turn to.

They’re one of the coaches our team can vouch for, and we have nothing but praise for their approach. The catch? We had to shell out top dollar.

In particular, we enrolled in their Executive Sales Training, a program involving practical and psychological techniques for developing and selling your brand or product.

ABA began the session by applying their Success Predictor Profiling, a scientific tool that evaluated us in just 1.5 hours instead of the 40-plus hours traditional means usually require.

The coaches then analyzed our data and customized an all-encompassing business and personal plan that takes into account our strengths, weaknesses, and personalities.

To be frank, we were initially concerned about potential data misinterpretation. However, our success and the favorable experiences of other clients we spoke with suggest otherwise.

Each Season Was Carefully Curated

“I had the privilege of joining the ABA course over a 12 week period, and what a transformative experience it was. From the outset, who knew breath work was so important in your ability to communicate effectively. Each session was carefully curated to allow each participant to engage meaningfully and develop the skill of effective communication. I can only highly recommend Mike and his team and will continue to influence those around me to commit to do this course, it will change your life!”

Errol Bryce, Google Review

It’s Rare to Find Someone So Dedicated

“Working with Mike, Katie and the ABA team has been a transformative experience for me and my business. Mike’s expertise in effective communication is unparalleled, and his guidance has significantly enhanced my skills. His commitment to his clients is evident in every interaction, always focusing on what’s best for our business. It’s rare to find someone so dedicated and genuine in their approach. I highly recommend Mike and the team to anyone looking to elevate their business and personal skills.”
