I have owned food retailing stores for 32 years during this time I have had extensive experience with all management issues. For 17 years within this period I have owned and operated a supermarket with the largest and most successful supermarket group in New Zealand. Being involved in the day to day management I have experienced the ups and downs of motivating and managing staff, finance and profitability, customer service and the formulation and implementation of new ideas and systems.

From my experience of managing businesses I have firsthand  knowledge of time pressure restraints and the difficulty of creating either a short term or a long term vision for the organization while still being involved in the day to day running of the business. It has become apparent to me that a coaching relationship is the key not only to personal development but a very effective way of maintaining focus and managing change in an ever changing environment.

Business is all about people and I enjoy creating relationships with people and watching them develop and achieve their goals. My approach is practical but challenging and what I will bring to your organization is a fresh perspective and proven Ology tools, which  provide structured and effective business solutions.
