Adèle in a Nutshell – 'To Give Is To Live'

Dear Friends

Wow, I have had lots of people in my business community book free 30 mins Skype business meetings for next week as part of my ‘To Give Is To Live’ commitment. It is going to be a great week, as there as lots of different business challenges and opportunities that the entrepreneurs want to talk about.

As I am working long days to accommodate lots of time zones, there are still plenty of spaces available for you to book an appointment with me.

The offer is on a first come first served basis next week, from 10am Monday, 17 November to 8pm Friday, 21 November. All you have to do is click on this link, and book yourself a 30 minute time slot with me. Please remember to include your Skype address in your booking request as we can’t confirm the appointment with you unless we have that.

Yesterday, someone who doesn’t know me that well asked me to detail my experience over the last +20 years. That got me thinking as some of my community know my recent experience whereas others know me from my earlier consulting and coaching days. So below is a summary of my business coaching/consulting experience in bullet point form (in no particular order). Hopefully there is something there that causes you to think that I may be of some value to you during a Skype conversation.

  • Supporting small businesses to grow their customer base by developing relevant marketing/business development strategies – both online and offline, including referral based strategies.
  • Supporting small businesses to resolve business cash flow issues (having experienced cash flow challenges in my own entrepreneurial endeavours from time to time, I know how challenging and scary it can be).
  • Working with entrepreneurs to create viable, monetisable and scalable businesses in their niche.
  • Supporting small businesses to develop and implement simple business plans and to monitor performance against them, including actively managing the financials within the business.
  • Supporting small businesses to develop systems and processes (many of them technology based) that enable their businesses to scale-up. Automation and outsourcing is also key in this area.
  • Coaching entrepreneurs to understand and use the financials in their business more in order to achieve more profitable success.
  • Supporting clients to focus on the constant improvement of everything in their business that relates to ‘customer delivery and the customer experience’. This includes: product and service improvement; business processes and procedures; leadership; team engagement and performance, and more.
  • Inspiring entrepreneurs around the world to achieve the success they are seeking in their business.
  • Internationalising a NZ based sporting memorabilia company including raising international finance; establishing international commercial structures to support the business strategy.
  • Arranging finance and a new ownership structure to prevent a food manufacturer being placed into receivership.
  • Facilitating strategic and business planning events and providing financial advisory services to clients in a range of industries.
  • Facilitating an MBO of a privately owned property company; arranging finance to privatise a publicly listed company.
  • With the Director of Finance of a major international corporation and his senior management team, planning and implementing the transformation of the global finance operation in order to reduce $100M in costs from the division.
  • Supporting major corporate clients with significant organisational transformations, including leading projects to transform their organisations by supporting/driving their strategic planning processes and re-designing the organisation structures and processes to reduce staff and increase organisational efficiency and effectiveness.
  • Developing performance management and reward structures; designing leadership capability programmes and processes, and assessing staff against those programmes.
  • Managing large scale recruitment projects for staff at all levels; managing and undertaking executive search and recruitment for senior executives.
  • Developing and implementing best practice methodologies for the assessment, measurement and reporting of competencies, resulting in ‘inspired choices’ being delivered to clients for their recruitment solutions.
  • Acting as a mentor and business confidante to many senior executive clients in large corporates.
  • Leading several major NZ charities to substantially improve their profitability for the benefit of the community they serve.

I am a qualified Chartered Accountant (Fellow, Institute of Chartered Accountants, New Zealand and Australia); and I was an investment banker early in my career, so I am comfortable working with the numbers in any business.

Personally, I am a property investor and own a multi-million dollar portfolio located in NZ and the UK which I manage from my UK base.

Well, that is me in a nutshell.

To recap, the offer is on a first come first served basis next week, from Monday, 17 November to Friday, 21 November. All you have to do is click on this link, and book yourself a 30 minute timeslot with me. Please remember to include your Skype address in your booking request as we can’t confirm the appointment with you unless we have that.
