Group Business
Coaching
The best businesses aren’t built alone.
Running a business can feel isolating, but it doesn’t have to be. Imagine having a team of experts and a group of like-minded business owners backing you up—helping you gain confidence, clarity, and momentum. With the right support, you’ll turn challenges into opportunities and build a business that works for you, not just because of you.
Our first Group Business Coaching programme begins in Whakatāne on Monday April 7th 2025.
We’ll also be launching Group Business Coaching in Hamilton - please email us to be notified of the next start date.
What’s included:
You’ll join us for four dynamic half-day workshops where you’ll gain the tools, knowledge, and strategies you need to succeed. Beyond the sessions, you’ll gain ongoing support from our expert team, ensuring you stay on track towards your goals.
We know that some of the best ideas and collaborations spark in a relaxed setting, so after each session we’ll unwind and chat with the group over casual drinks - the perfect opportunity to connect and share insights in a supportive atmosphere.
Try your first session risk-free
For a limited time, you can join Group Business Coaching at an introductory rate of $295 + GST per month. Get started with no commitment – if after the first session you decide it’s not for you, we’ll offer you a full refund.
