"Having worked with ActionCOACH over the past 18 months both with my clients and as a client, I can't recommend them highly enough for the outcomes they help businesses achieve. A must for any business wanting to maximise their success."

Kirsty Porteous, Partner, Crosbie Warren Sinclair (Accountants) Warabrook

"I have been working with ActionCOACH for approx 18 months. Harry has not only assisted the business in many key areas he has also played a big part in my personal development as the manger of my business. With the current downturn we are experiencing in the commercial building industry I believe it is times like these we could not afford to operate our business without a business coach." 

Gary Sheppard, Managing Director, Bass Floor Company Newcastle

"Our decision to go to ActionCOACH was the most important and successful business decision I have made. Having Harry at our shoulder has helped re-invigorate us and our business by helping us focus on our Business Systems. As a result our business now employs more people, earns more profit and most importantly, gives us more leisure time."

David Willard, Owner, Centurion Fire & Rescue Equipment (Australia)



I believe you need natural skill to run a successful business. You need coaching to take the business beyond that success. Start now! Tomorrow only adds another day to (your wait for) happiness and business security."

Dallas Stokes, Managing Director, R&D Technology Pty Ltd, Carrington.

"When we first met ActionCOACH, Extend A Home had a yearly turnover of $4.8 million. Now, today, we have grown to $7 million and we have set in financial KPI's in the business to monitor Gross Profits and Net Profits.

I think the best analogy is our business had pains and problems, but now we only have the occasional speed humps. Harry, again to you and your team, congratulations."

Bill Morris, Managing Director, Extend A Home Constructions, North Strathfield.

"Anybody who runs a business is constantly performing a juggling act with a diverse range of issues competing for their attention - financial, personnel, regulatory etc, etc. It is obvioulsy not just a metter of time allocation. Managers also need to ensure quilty informed decisions are made in the midst of the mayhem. I have found that direct one on one business coaching helps me see through the confusion and stay focussed on what needs to be done now, and where the business is heading. It shows me how to effectively use tools such as goal setting, systemisation and measurement and apply it to my particular situation. Importantly, the coach holds me accountable.

Tony Ryan, General Manager, Odour Control Systems (Aust) Pty Ltd, Islington.

"The ActionCOACH team in Newcastle are sincere, committed and capable and can really make a difference to you and your business. Working with David has got us on track and focused. He has helped us to be clear about what we are doing in business and why. Each week he re-energises us and keeps us on the path to our goals. With David's guidance we are learning and developing not only in our business but also in our personal lives. The business is becoming more robust and stable. Our return is consistent and improving."

Gordon Furphy, Owner, Pacific Hydroponics, Doyalson

“ActionCOACH has been a valuable support for my business since we joined forces with them two years ago. We were in need of direction and focus, which David Crook certainly has provided. Most importantly he has helped us make dramatic increases in our turnover and profit as well as guiding us through critical aspects of running a business, like creating and updating our business plan and sticking to it. ActionCOACH is the best investment we have made in the business in the past 7 years.”

Alan Linklater, Director, Powerdist, Adamstown

“My business was in good shape, sales were solid and profits were strong. I assumed my business was 90% down the road of efficiency…but I found it was the easy 90%, the 90% that all my competitors had also travelled…The past year has seen my business in much better shape than I thought possible because of a number of seemingly minor changes….I strongly recommend any business owners invest in ActionCOACH’s program”.

Grant Turner, Director, Colterlec Pty Ltd, Warrabrook
