I’m a business coach and it’s been really useful to have someone to turn to for guidance and advice.

Roland has helped me significantly to develop my business systems and the toolset I use to deliver my own services.

My strength is in helping people find their direction and in motivating them to take action. Roland’s experience in systems development has augmented my own knowledge and vastly improved how I operate.

As a business coach, I need to be able to track the development of all of my clients businesses in detail. I need both the broad view and the detailed view of their business at the same time. This enables me to help them understand what is going on in their business and to create action plans they can use to move forward.

Roland helped me to develop the tools and framework I use with my clients every day. He also helped me to systemise the processes used in the delivery of my service. I’ve really moved up a level in terms how I deliver my service as a result.

Additionally, Roland helped me formulate my current development goals and to create a development plan for my business to follow which I’m still using today.

We originally met at a networking event and spent the whole evening speaking about our shared interest in helping people develop their businesses.

After we met I hired Roland to do a cost benefit analysis regarding an app I wanted to create. Based on his analysis and recommendations, I decided to not proceed with the project saving me lots of time and money in the process.

The initial meeting and experience of working together was really positive which is why I retained Roland’s services as my business mentor. (Yes, even business coaches need mentors! It’s hard to see your own situation rationally when you’re in the middle of it, which is why I’ve really benefited from working with Roland.)

I am happy to recommend Roland for several things; weighing up the options regarding an important decision you need to make, developing the systems in your business and finding areas to save money by improving your systems and workflows.

Roland’s knowledge and experience as a consultant is broad and practical. His analysis skills and experience shine through every time we discuss a business problem together and how I should proceed.

As a friend, Roland, thank you for all the help you’ve provided me working on my business together over the last two years!

As one of your clients, I recommend you highly to my own clients when I need someone with more experience and technical knowledge than I can provide, especially larger and more established businesses.

Highly recommended!
