TESTIMONIALS
"I had the pleasure of working with Ross for a number of years. During this time Ross mentored me and under his guidance I became not just a better manager but a better person. He constantly challenged me to look at myself with honest self-reflection. I am the successful and well-rounded person I am today in great part because of him. I can't recommend him highly enough"

What advice do you give to others thinking about starting their own business?
Get a mentor. I have one through Business Mentors NZ called Ross and he's great. When I first started we were meeting every two weeks, and that was amazing. We now meet about once a month. Being a small business owner and trying to do everything is tough so it's good to have someone else to be held accountable to.
Sometimes you can get lost in the details and forget the bigger picture so it's been great having a mentor to keep me in check.
Hi Ross:
I created a great CV using the exact layout from the last one you sent me. It looked good and only two pages long!
Yesterday I was offered another year in the current role.
Thanks for your warm, friendly, personable, guidance and support. It really did help me in anxious times!

I was coached by Ross for two years. He has a good understanding of management roles and the practicalities of managing staff.
Ross challenged me and has a good sense of humour. Even though Ross was coaching me in a work capacity, he understood that my ultimate goals are not all work related and I felt comfortable discussing various aspects of my life with him. He assisted me to look into the future and define my goals, so I was able to be clear about my direction and confident about the decisions I made. He supported me to move forward with no regrets and with my quirky sense of humour still intact
