"Hi Mike,
A huge thank you for helping our management team kick off our off-site planning day and stretch us to achieve the growth we so desperately desire.
Having you look in from the outside and, most importantly, identify how to unlock our real potential is infinitely valuable. We have implemented many of the changes identified already and are seeing very positive results and it feels really good.
Thank you so much." Doug Hanna, Terrabyte
“Working with Mike Ashby has been a great experience and positive result for me. (And I’m very hard to please.) I’ve doubled the size of the business and it’s still growing. I also have a better perspective on time with my family and pursuing my interests.”
Robert Creemers, Property Management, Auckland
“I have received numerous benefits from working with Dr Mike Ashby, including: increased turnover through better focus and new ideas, increased profit from eliminating low value activities, products and clients. Fun, clarity and getting more done in less time”.
Bruce Davies, Manufacturing and Export, Auckland
“I now have less stress, more energy, thought clarity and a three day working week.”
Sue Mill, Engineering, Auckland
“I would highly recommend Mike Ashby’s programme because it gives you exposure to a great bunch of like-minded people who are all looking to strive ahead. We have had an amazing amount of growth, income, family, personal recreation etc, - all sectors have benefited.”
Kevin Deane, Real Estate, Morrinsville
“Mike’s programmes offer a broad perspective on life, work and self, to assist in achieving goals to build a successful life. In some ways the turnover increases are only a small part of the overall benefit. The main benefit to me is that it gives me tools to achieve what I want with my life.”
David Neal, Financial Advisory, Auckland
“I had a relatively new business and I wanted to fast track increasing my profitability and efficiencies. I wished to learn from others rather than fumbling about with ‘trial and error’. I have increased the profitability of my business and now work in the office much less.”
Jeff de Leeuw, Construction, Hamilton
“The programme makes you look into yourself and your business and gives you good ideas on ways to improve. I now take more time off with a 15-20% increase in income at the same time. I now have a greater sense of balance in my life, more time off and greater confidence.”
Gary Robertson, Financial Advisory, Hamilton
“Our margins have increased by 20% in a tough market and I have more than 10 weeks off a year. Rubbing shoulders with very successful business people is very inspiring.”
Gordon Laurie, IT, Auckland
“I would highly recommend Mike Ashby’s programmes as I don’t know how many business people balance their time over managing their health and relationships as well as their business. I believe that those that take the programme will be surprised how much improvement can be achieved in 3 short years.”
Brian Webster, Freight, Auckland
"The programme has changed my mindset as a company owner as to how I work with my staff and how to change an ingrained attitude of being 'in' the business rather than directing it"
Alan Day, Import and Distribution, Hamilton
"As a result of the programme I have had to do some rather uncomfortable self-analysis and commit to change that is now very clear to me"
Gary Smith, Retail, Hamilton
"We now look at life and business in a different light: we are not alone, we can do it, and we can pass it on"
Jeanette Flynn, Commercial Cleaning, Auckland
"The best thing about working with NBCoach is how to work on the business instead of in it. NBCoach gives us the tools to do that"
Karen McConnell, Accounting, Auckland
"I'm on my way to a better life, and that is all thanks to you"
Wayne Alexander, Construction, Auckland
"NBCoach has helped us clarify our goals and the end vision for our company. We are now making continuous improvements in our personal and business lives"
Anisa Clarke, Agribusiness, Pukekohe
"NBCoach introduced some new tools to target age old business problems. It makes you take a good look at yourself, and do something about it"
Phil McConnell, Accounting and Investment Services, Auckland
