Business coaching and executive advisory
Running an organisation can be complex, and senior leaders do not always have access to an independent person with whom they can test ideas, discuss difficult decisions and develop practical solutions.
Eighty8 Consultants provides personalised business coaching and executive advisory services to business owners and leaders. Unlike generic online advice, our support is tailored to the organisation, its people, operating environment and objectives.
We work alongside clients to:
Clarify organisational purpose, vision and priorities.
Develop practical business and growth strategies.
Establish achievable objectives and implementation plans.
Improve organisational structures and accountabilities.
Develop Standard Operating Procedures and performance measures.
Strengthen leadership capability and decision-making.
Improve employee engagement and workplace culture.
Review remuneration, roles and workforce requirements.
Identify operational and commercial risks.
Navigate growth, restructuring and organisational change.
Establish effective governance and reporting arrangements.
Provide an independent sounding board for complex decisions.
How business coaching works
Understand the organisation
We begin by listening. We learn about the organisation’s customers, services, value proposition, people, systems, financial position, operating challenges and growth ambitions.
Clarify the objectives
We work with the owner or leadership team to define what success looks like and establish clear, realistic and measurable objectives.
Develop the strategy
Together, we develop practical strategies and action plans that reflect the organisation’s resources, capabilities and operating environment.
Support implementation
We provide ongoing advice, challenge and accountability as the organisation implements its plans and responds to new issues.
Review performance
We help establish meaningful performance measures and periodically review progress, outcomes and required adjustments.
Frequently asked questions
What happens during the first meeting?
Our priority is to understand you and your organisation. We will ask questions, listen carefully and discuss the challenges, opportunities and outcomes you want to address. This allows us to determine whether we are the right fit and how our support can be tailored.
Can Eighty8 Consultants help grow my business?
Yes. We can help develop and implement practical growth strategies, but growth is not the only objective of business coaching. We can also help improve productivity, profitability, leadership, governance, employee engagement and the day-to-day operation of the business.
Can a small business benefit from business coaching?
Yes. Small and medium-sized businesses can benefit significantly from access to experienced and independent advice, particularly when they do not have specialist strategy, operations, human resources or commercial resources internally.
How is Eighty8 Consultants different?
As a boutique firm, we provide personal, senior-level attention. We work with clients rather than simply delivering recommendations to them. Our advice is tailored, practical and informed by extensive experience leading complex businesses, operations, teams and transformation programs.
