Founder

Hi - I’m Dan,

There are two ways I can help you unlock potential in your manufacturing, engineering or industrial business.

I have a zero-fluff approach, so let’s go:

(01) Fast Value:
An 8-week targeted value creation sprint to identify and execute high-impact opportunities in your core business.

(02) The Simple Strategy:
A strategy development and execution programme that takes you end-to-end.

We’ll avoid the pitfalls of (non)strategic planning by building a growth strategy around:

1. Optimising the core business
2. Growing through logical extensions and adjacent markets
3. Exploring & innovating future products, services and business models

I focus on bridging the gap between strategy and execution, guiding you through the critical decisions required to align the day-to-day activities with the long-term strategic direction.

Send me a DM to discuss if you want to drive growth and innovation in your business.

* My focus is to help you gain clarity on what you really want out of your life and business. 

While the success you've achieved so far has given you a taste of what's possible, you're at a loss as to why you're still sabotaging yourself in pursuit of more freedom, impact and inner peace. You might feel "stuck", conflicted, stressed or unfulfilled.

Whatever your situation, as your Life Coach, I will help you gain clarity and direction, so that you can get the results you are looking for with ease, confidence and inner peace.

* What's included in the mind-blowing, soul-soothing and life changing private 1:1 coaching packages? 

✨An hour every week where we focus on believing and making decisions for the person you want to be and the life you want to create. 
✨Every conversation is confidential and like a reset button to what is possible. 
✨All 3-6-12 month coaching packages are personally tailored to your desired outcomes and cover a mix of neuro-linguistic programming tools, energy alignment and inner shift strategies to calibrate your mind, heart, energy and action towards your desired outcomes, from a place of MORE ease, confidence & alignment than ever before.
