When you describe the problem, I have usually lived it

I run businesses in four industries. When you describe a variation dispute, a roster falling apart or a compliance obligation eating a week, I am usually not hearing it for the first time.

Home careRegulated, rostered and audited. What compliance really costs in hours.
ConstructionQuotes, variations, subcontractors and weather. Cash that arrives late.
Marketing & ITWhat agencies charge for, and what it is actually worth.

Business Health Check

Thirty minutes, free. You tell me what is going on; I tell you honestly whether coaching is the right answer.

What came out of about ten years in strategy and transformation, and four businesses of my own, is a practical way of coaching owners, and a set of systems I now help them build.

For the last two years I have been working out which AI tools genuinely fix that, and which ones waste a Saturday. Not as an experiment, but inside my own businesses, where getting it wrong costs real money.

Working with Anit was a breeze. He was always calm under pressure and always remained professional. The one characteristic that stood out for me was the drive to continuously improve himself, others around him as well as his work. He always gave feedback and equally took on feedback which was a good trait as leader.

Hi,I’mAnit.

For about ten years I worked in strategy and transformation, including nearly five years at McKinsey & Company, where I coached senior leaders on strategy and performance.

Then I left, and started running businesses instead of advising them. Today I run four, all in Sydney. They are in the same industries as many of the owners I coach, and they have the same problems: too much admin, not enough hours, and no budget for another person.

Understanding Small Business Challenges

Too much admin, not enough hours, and no budget for another person. The same problems as the four businesses I run in Sydney.

Getting clarity on CEO Mindset

Strategy is rarely the constraint. Rhythm, clarity of ownership and the leader’s own behaviour usually are.

For about ten years I worked in strategy and transformation, including nearly five years at McKinsey & Company, where I coached senior leaders on strategy and performance. The clients were big: Fortune 500 companies, major Australian banks, a national airline, retail groups, and start-ups in supply chain and education.
