Matt & Kylie -

We own and operate two beauty salons on the Gold Coast. Over 12 months ago, after a lengthy search, we enlisted the services of Pam and have not looked back since. Pam is extremely well connected in not only the beauty industry, but business in general. And combined with her own business success, her background in training and coaching, and her own very evident drive for perfection, Pam provided us with a fresh and intelligent third party view of our businesses, developing indepth reporting systems, identifing KPI's, and developing coaching plans for areas needing improvement. Pam has a great repport with us, our managers and our staff, and through positive coaching techniques has shown how we can grow as a business and as people. Pam has been a huge support to us personally, and has helped ensure our businesses are in the best possible shape in a tough financial climate.

Regards,

I was so busy running my business, just keeping up with the demands of it all...I was too busy to stop and look at ways I could improve things. I wrongly believed things would improve in time and with some luck! My coaching with Pam made it happen, looking at things in a way I never thought of and giving me the confidence to believe in myself. After just 3 coaching sessions, I was able to make a decision about purchasing new equipment for my business that will generate tens of thousands of extra dollars in profit every year. Without coaching, I would not have had the confidence to move forward on this and it may never have happened.

I have always had an open mind to learn “better ways” to do things and to have Pam’s experience and knowledge come and be delivered in my own environment was a wonderful and rewarding experience.

I strongly recommend Pam as a Business Coach and advisor as her years of experience and expertise are invaluable and I will be using Pam’s services in the future as I grow my business.

Pam,

 I just want to take the opportunity to thank-you for your continued advice on dealing with difficult people in the workplace, and in life.

 As you'd know, management or rather leading isn't always an easy thing, especially when you have added pressure of work conflict;

But your notes etc have greatly helped, and finally our salon is working at a much happier place, and in so, were reaching target.

 Thank you again.

 Kind Regards,

Jackie

I love working with Pam!

From our first consultation, she made me feel that she understood the frustrations I was going through. I was at a stage in my business where I wanted to move forward but wasn’t sure just how to do this.

As a result of my first coaching session, Pam encouraged me to make a few simple changes regarding my product display and the clients love it. We are selling about 20% more product. We also cleared a lot of the clutter on the front counter and it amazed me, that just by making a few minor adjustments, we saw so many financial rewards. People took us more seriously, and we presented ourselves as true dedicated professionals.

I also feel better able to communicate with my staff by having a list of procedures that must be followed and so now we all do our treatments the same. The girls are also very excited about their new reachable targets.

I would highly recommend Pam for anyone wanting to build their business.

Scott Fullarton - Industrial Designer

I was at a point in my life where I seemed to be going nowhere. I was stuck in my job, my social calendar was not happening, my self confidence was waning and I had family issues to boot. With coaching, I was able to immediately work up a plan of action that I needed to move me on. I stopped procrastinating and did something about it. I had a plan (complete with bloody dates) so I could take action and tick things off my list.

Now things are happening. I am confident that a promotion is coming my way within the next 2 weeks, my social calendar is full with plans for several family holidays made as well and my self confidence is soaring.

Thanks Pam, you have helped me to turn my life around.

Joe & Kate Sieben - Spicy Company Imaging

We had always thought that running our own business would be fairly simple. Unfortunately there was a lot more to it than we had ever anticipated. It seemed impossible to ever get our business off the ground even though we knew it had huge potential. We were working very long hours, were struggling with many responsibilities, had difficult clients and lack of money was always a source of stress and disagreements.

It was time we took action before it was too late. Pam had been one of our favorite clients for many years and we had heard lots of great comments about her business coaching. As soon as Pam guided us and our staff through some coaching sessions things started improving. Noticeable results came immediately! Pam absorbed all of our worries, discovered some more areas needing improvement and gave us confidence to pursue our goals. We now work less hours because we were no longer chasing our tails; staff morale and productivity has increased, improving our bottom line by 25% in the first month!

Pam made it all seem easy. She guided us through all the important aspects of running a successful business in an easy to understand and logical manner. Pam’s business coaching helped us break down projects into manageable tasks. Even large projects were completed surprisingly quickly with minimal stress. We were taught how to tackle issues quickly and efficiently.

We don’t give our appraisal lightly and without reservation we can highly recommend Pam’s business coaching sessions – it will be worth more than double every cent you put in.

Thanks Pam!

To any anyone considering Business Coaching

I’ve now had Pam working with me for the past eight months. I’m so glad I took the step to get her help. My business was doing a very average turnover, but I could not make ends meet with the staff and expenses I had. Pam opened my eyes to the true expenditure of the Salon. She pointed out some massive leaks I was unaware of and had no idea how to fix. She gently guided me in the right direction and I’m now feeling much more in control and do see a light at the end of the tunnel. With goals to expand or duplicate in the future, Pam has been a wealth of information of what I need to do and put in place at this early stage, so I can work toward achieving this.

Pam’s delivery of training to staff is informative, fun and very motivating. The fact that she comes to you, makes staff resistance to attendance a non issue.

Thanks Pam for offering such a personal service. Your knowledge of business clearly goes far beyond just the beauty industry, and I think perhaps this is what makes you so unique.
