Three Rivers Machinery
Things started to change – immediately! On my first one day session with Sean he ‘reshuffled’ my thought process, coaching me to take one step back from the start, then hold the line, hold the line, (whilst recruiting) until we were confident we had a candidate that would not only suit the role, but would...
Harbourside Refrigeration & Air Conditioning
I have just returned from a family holiday to FNQ and I feel great, it was the most relaxing break we have had since starting our business. Last year we went on the same vacation, just after we engaged Business By Design and my holiday rating was 3/10. I was anxious the whole time about...
Hughes and Co
Thank you Sean for a very productive year! Indeed! When I reached out I was primarily looking for advice regarding management of my agricultural assets and that advice was very valuable, but quite quickly you also helped me identify opportunities within my legal practice as well. After facilitating a staff development day with the team...

I have had the pleasure of working with Sean and mutual clients. Sean is a passionate and inspirational facilitator, business coach and leader. His approach is to develop his clients into autonomous learners. He achieves this through teaching them the skills required to problem solve, not to become dependents. Under Sean’s coaching, clients are encouraged to think...
Donaghue Property Valuations & Consultancy
We recently had a directors retreat with Business By Design in Coffs Harbour . . . Wow! Sean showed us a very different perspective on our business, he didn’t hold back on asking the tough questions and he had us questioning why (a lot). It was the best investment we have made in our business....
Farmers Bakehouse
I’d certainly recommend Business By Design to anyone in business that was considering using a coaching service or a service to improve their business, if they’re at a stage where they’re very operational or they want to grow their business. I certainly got the results from the engagement with Sean and Business By Design.
Resource Design and Management
Sean has been instrumental in assisting the partners at RDM understand the difference between running a ‘practice’ and a ‘Business’. By holding us accountable and guiding steady improvements in core profit drivers like marketing, sales, staff productivity and internal systems we have seen a significant turnaround in morale and profitability over the last 12 months. We understood and accepted...
JTMEC
We engaged the services of Business By Design to assist our business during a significant growth phase. JTMEC operates across most states in Australia and teams do significant travelling, which is a challenge when managing people. When we started coaching, I didn’t realise we had such a big communication problem. It was not long before...
Galambila Aboriginal Health Services Inc
We were having a lot of meetings and not getting a lot of output from them. So, Sean was brought in to look at our meeting rhythm and to introduce a better way to have those meetings…. We still hold to that meetings structure. It’s still a highly successful meeting structure for us. It hasn’t...

Sean’s unique and practical approach to assisting his clients is a refreshing point of difference in a crowded advisory market. A willingness to work side by side with business owners is where those savvy enough to engage Sean and the team at Business By Design are gaining the value. I have had the opportunity to...
WebWorx
In our first meeting Sean showed me how we could immediately earn another $48,000 profit. Pretty handy return on three hours work! Two months later we took it further and added a further $58,000. Everyone needs advice like this!!!
