About us
NEWCASTLE BUSINESS COACH AND CONSULTANT
We help people, teams and businesses. grow in a number of ways.
First of all we are business consultants. We can for example, look at strategy and process with you as well as develop your leadership, board and team capabilities.
Sometimes we adopt the “devil’s advocate” approach and are prepared to have hard conversations with people, even if it means we lose the brief. We would rather do the right thing than the wrong thing because as Schumacher (not the Formula One driver) put it “then you become part of the problem not the solution”.
Then we blend.
our consulting with coaching and mentoring and counselling skills.
There remains much confusion about these different practices as they often share the same conceptual stable block but put simply:
- Coaching is about encouraging people to develop awareness, enhance their performance and be more insightful in their practice.
- Mentoring is about the transmission of skills, insight and awareness that can be shared and applied.
- Counselling is about becoming aware of learning, self-sabotage patterns, blocks and other impediments in our overall functioning.
- Personal development is about finding solutions from all of the above techniques to become far more resourceful in facing personal, business and life challenges.

Our Thoughts.
This is why we keep asking for that conversation in order that we can balance our responses to your needs and that of your organisation with elegance, sensitivity, candour and clarity.
And maybe just a bit of good humour thrown in!
