Working with Evan has been one of the most valuable experiences in my business journey. He helped me transform from running as a sole trader into building a proper company with real systems, structure, and confidence to grow. What stood out most was that he didn’t just focus on business performance, he made sure I built something I actually loved doing. His coaching pushed me to understand my strengths, lead my team better, and balance both work and life in a way that feels genuine and sustainable. He’s honest, practical, and always focused on real progress. His accountability and perspective kept me grounded and helped me keep moving forward, even when things felt uncertain. I’m truly grateful for everything I learned and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone serious about personal and business growth. DH

Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed review. You are very generous in your kind remarks. It has been an equal pleasure to work with you guys and to see the changes that you have both made personally and to your business. Your approach to coming to coaching, prepared and clear with what you wanted to discuss, and the manner in which you followed through with the tasks that you set for yourselves, is really commendable.

I worked with Evan for 2 years. He was brilliant. I run my own business but don't have a business background. Evan is always well prepared for our sessions and an attentive listener. He brings his vast experience as a coach to assist with my challenges. While helping me to remember the bigger picture of why I'm in business in the first place. I'm very grateful for his support.

We worked with Evan for just over two years. His unique coaching style enabled us to work holistically on our business. While we looked at mission, strategy, and sales techniques we also worked a lot on improving communication, leadership, and team building. Looking back on the experience I can say that we now have a firm understanding of who we want to work for. Which in turn, has enabled us to create an effective marketing plan and sales process. Evan is easy to talk to, empathetic and has a thorough understanding of running a business. He truly wants the best for his clients which makes him feel part of your team rather than a paid professional. Thank you Evan for the time, effort and advice you have given us. We will take it all through to the next stage of our business.

Thank you for your review, and kind words Mel. The last 2 years, working with you and your team, have been very exiting and the way in which you all rose to the challenges, particularly with Covid, gives a new meaning to the work 'resilience'. It is hard to pivot a business and realign it to the outcomes that you always wanted from it. You have all managed to achieve this and are well on your way to getting the business to work 'for you' instead of the other way round.

Since beginning with Evan 18 months ago we've seen our business move in a much clearer direction with a focus on what we actually aim to achieve. For myself in particular Evan has helped me grow professionally and personally. My interactions with clients is clearer. I've learned to articulate who our ideal customer is and where best to put my time. Evan has also helped us focus on activities for developing new business, from which we've experienced positive results.

Evan's exceptional insights into business and people has benefited myself personally and my company tremendously in creating the bedrock of any successful business-a powerful, engaged, values focused team. His ability to challenge us and keep us accountable helps keep us focused strategically which opens up new opportunities regularly while exposing negative, inefficient habits to cast-off. Evan's keen marketing acumen and advice is a significant asset to any SME. I would recommend Evan to any SME business owner looking to get their business doing what it should be doing-making a positive contribution to your professional life.
