My Business team

Business built better together is our vision.

What keeps you awake at night? As a leader of an established business, you’ll know the feeling of insurmountable issues that make it hard to move forward. 

Help is here.

What we do

We establish teams of business owners to build better business through monthly face-to-face peer advisory boards, where the focus is on growth, accountability, and action. Our teams include leaders from established medium-size businesses 

On membership application acceptance we’ll arrange a profile assessment to help place you in the right team.

How we help

Teams meet monthly with the focus on the core areas of growth, accountability, and actions.

Growth – The first part of the monthly meeting focuses on growth. The Chair leads discussion in a workshop format drawing on members’ experience. As the need arises, industry subject matter experts are invited to speak. Everyone leaves with something valuable to try in their business.

Accountability – Each member prepares and presents a board report at the meeting. Reports focus on quarterly project updates, financials tracked against targets and commentary on all aspects of running a business. Action items are tracked and ticked off as they are completed. A quick Zoom check in is held each fortnight to hold each other to account, keep the group connected mid-month and offer help if needed.

Actions – Do you have ideas, questions or problems that burn into your brain and keep you awake at night? Write them down and take it to the next board meeting where 8 to 10 experienced heads will get to work on your problem. If its urgent, we’ll get a focus group together outside of regular meetings to provide the support on the spot.

We have regular introduction days where you can experience a ‘live’ meeting.

Lennox Strategic

As the lead business Advisor, Founder and Director of Lennox Strategic, I work with business owners to overcome challenges they face in moving their business forward and helping them achieve their goals. I do this through:

Peer to Peer Advisory Boards

Work with a group of business owners that are facing obstacles or challenges in their business in a supportive and knowledge sharing environment. Through regular meetings, you gain time out to plan for the future and learn from others who are or have been where you are.

Strategic Planning and Implementation:

Bringing your team together for one day, I help you realign them so that everyone is heading in the same direction and have clarity on what needs to be done. At the end of the session your business will have a clear strategic plan with goals for the next quarter providing accountability and a means to check progress.

If you are wanting to shape the direction of your business, let’s connect and start a conversation.

3P Learning

As CEO Australia, I managed P&L delivering double digit growth year-on-year. Leading a team of over 60 people, we delivered high quality services to our schools. I led the business from start-up to ASX listing.

CEO Australia

I am an educator, mentor, and advisor to business.

Having worked with hundreds of business owners, I have found that business owners are great at doing what they do best. Sometimes, they also feel overwhelmed, struggle with motivation, are unsure of the next steps or feel like they just don’t have a team to support them.

I work with business owners to build better businesses together. To give them the support and strategy so that they can have a business that they love.

Although the clients I work with, come from a range of industries they found clarity around the direction of their business. 

Infusing strategy with support to build better businesses is at the cornerstone of what I do.

Staring my career in education, owning my businesses and being a part of executive leadership teams for some of Australia's most recognisable brands, today, I draw on these experiences across strategic business planning, working with advisory boards, coaching and mentoring.

How I help businesses include:

Peer to Peer Advisory Boards: Regular peer to peer advisory board meetings allows you to step out of the ‘day to day’ and plan for the future. They become ‘cannot miss’ days in the month.

Strategic Planning and Implementation: Help for you and your team to organise the great ideas you have for your company and put them into a simple and executable plan. Key deliverables are alignment, clarity and accountability. 

What some have said about working with me:

“Beach Burrito is NOISY and I was drowning in it. Andrew pulled my team and I back to a quiet space where we were able to realign with our purpose and define our strategy. Doing this allowed us to set out clear quarterly, monthly and weekly achievable goals which we can all work towards. His leadership has allowed me to breathe, it’s no longer all in my head fumbling around – it’s clear and it’s out there working for me.”
