I'm putting together a newsletter specifically for small businesses like yours. It's my way of keeping you in the loop about the big HR changes coming your way — without the legal jargon headache.

Think of it as your HR cheat sheet, your “go to”.

Are you leaving your teams performance to chance? Are you just hoping for results?

This was a conversation I had with a client yesterday.

My client, a successful business owner was becoming increasingly frustrated with his team. From his perspective they were spending too much time on their phones, not enough time speaking to clients and certainly not hitting sales targets.

Remember, accountability isn't about pointing fingers. It's about creating an environment where everyone takes ownership of their work and its outcomes.

As a leader, embracing accountability might feel uncomfortable at first, but it's a game-changer for your business and your team's growth.

The magic happens when these elements align:

• Clarity ensures everyone's moving in the same direction.
• Accountability keeps the momentum going.
• A performance-focused culture makes excellence the norm, not the exception.

Without talented high performing team members, that are happy and healthy your business won't thrive. Don't leave their success – and by extension, your business's success – to chance. Invest in a clear, actionable people strategy. Your future self will thank you.

Supporting clients with performance is something I’ve been doing for a very long time.

In this short video I walk through one thing you can do to support under performers, and also create high performance in your business. It’s simple, but often overlooked.

My expertise spans across performance coaching, strategic business consulting, culture and performance enhancement, HR strategy and compliance, leadership development, and overcoming imposter syndrome.

This comprehensive skill set allows me to offer holistic solutions that address both individual and organisational growth journeys.

In an industry often clouded by empty promises and quick-fix solutions, I've always been hesitant to label myself as a coach. The image of self-proclaimed experts offering instant success through overpriced masterminds or beachside webinars has tarnished the profession's reputation.

But coaching, when done right, is a craft honed through years of experience and continuous learning. With two decades in the people profession and numerous professional qualifications, I've cultivated a coaching approach that prioritises authenticity and tangible results.

Ever feel like you're drowning in the day-to-day of running your business? Trust me, you're not alone.

I want to share a quick story about Sarah, one of my incredible clients. Like many of us, she was struggling with the isolation of being a business owner.

Long hours, endless decisions, and that constant nagging feeling that she might be missing something important.
