The dynamics of the business has changed from staff running around like headless chickens to having a structure in the business.

Learning Businesses Principles From Other Businesses | Architects Industry Review
The best things I’ve done in my life are when I’ve taken a risk whether that’s employing the first person in the company, starting my own business or building my own house. Getting a coach seems like a significant thing but it’s one of those risks that will pay off immeasurably for time and time to come. Sam Goss – Managing Director of Barefoot Architects.
I was sceptical about ActionCOACH at first and I think my kind of fear was that it would be expensive and perhaps it was something which wouldn’t relate to our industry. What I’ve grown to learn and hugely respect is how there are principles which can be applied to any business regardless of what sector it’s in and the things that I’ve learned so often are from other businesses that do completely different things to us.
Since working with ActionCOACH, they have:
✅ A clear business direction.
✅ Better systems in the business.

Are You Caught Up In Day-To-Day Pressures? | Architecture Industry Review
Are You Caught Up In Day-To-Day Pressures?
I found I was getting very busy. The business was doing well but it was chaotic and manic, which would have been unsustainable in the long run. I needed someone by my side to help me focus more on running the business and looking after my team than running jobs all the time. With the help of ActionCOACH, I developed the knowledge and confidence to pass my skills onto my staff, which helped them be a part of the coaching process I was going through. We are growing in terms of business and profitability. I’m getting to the point where I can take myself away from the day-to-day pressures. There’s a better balance being struck, and I can see it going the way I want it over the coming 6-9 months. – Alastair J Fitchet, Managing Director at Architect LLP.
Since working with ActionCOACH, they have:
✅ A 15% turnover increase.
