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...
Specialised Solutions
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.
Ruby Main
We could never have imagined the difference a business coach could make until Sean showed us that, if you put a few simple processes into place your business can work for you – not you work for your business! . . . We have certainly seen the benefits of having Sean as our business coach...
Race Central
Sean and the team at Business By Design helped us get clarity with what was an over complicated family business. We now have solid family/business relationships, clearly defined roles and accountability as well as a structured plan with a really clear direction for our business. I encourage other business owners to give it a go, it’s confronting, but gives...
McKemmey & Co
One of Sean’s greatest attributes is that he is not afraid to bring out the tough questions and then bring our team together in a controlled environment to answer these questions. In a business of many and varied personalities, he has kept the family together, put succession/estate planning in place and we all still sit...
Lark Distillery
In my role as GM for The New Zealand Whisky Company I reported into the Board of Directors, on which Sean had a role as an adviser to the Board. His contribution to strategy, finance and especially holding a challenging CEO to account was both highly professional and impressive. Sean asked difficult, pertinent and timely questions to...
Bank of Queensland
Sean is a real driver of change, challenging the status quo, asking the hard questions, and is results oriented. I can recommend Sean to anyone that wants to make fundamental changes to improve their situation, is open to be challenged and is ready to act on those challenges.
