Success stories

"We were a successful but unconsciously growing electrical contracting business. We were looking for guidance with business expansion and staff development plans and were struggling with business, family and personal life balance. Within 6 months of starting the FIRE UP Business Coaching Program we had implemented our new business plan and increased our sales by winning a large contract years earlier than expected. Staff numbers have doubled and we have greater employee engagement with defined career paths and leadership development. We've been able to do this while maintaining our work/life balance."
Craig and Samantha Ware - Ware Solutions

"I found the course very rewarding and enhancing. I acquired techniques that really start you believing you have the power within you to make it happen."
Robert Harvey - St Kilda Football Club legend and two-time Brownlow Medallist
