Réflexion: Each week I share one thing that caught my attention, the insight it revealed, and why it matters.

My work is based on painful scars earned in the field. It's highly pragmatic and practical because I recognise that consultants are time-starved and have limited bandwidth for business development. I aim to help you focus that time and build the confidence to execute well.

In short, I'll help you deliver real business development results because that's what I've been doing for the last 30+ years. I've worked with individuals and teams, solo practices and big-brand businesses — all in consulting, or technology services, so I understand the nuances of selling expertise, not products packaged as "solutions".

Clive was an incredible coach and sounding board. He had the ability to focus me on what the value sell was to the client, why would a client pick us above others.
