"Iain,
I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for the work you did with our group, JRP Inc.
It is now over a year since we implemented the changes that were required to align my company to where both it, and I, needed to go.
We are seeing solid results from our key initiatives of staff reorg, and updated financial reporting systems. With the reorganization I am more able to manage the business rather than be the business. Our updated financials process allows us to make better decisions faster.
Most importantly, I have more personal freedom and am able to realize the fruits of my labor, while still enjoying work.
I also think the changes were welcome by the staff. We have a much clearer sense of who is responsible for what, which has empowered everyone in our group. It takes time to see the results, but I have to say that I have never been happier with how my work compliments my personal life.
I am grateful for your insight Iain. I wish you nothing but the best. And I won't hesitate to call you if I need more of your perspective.
Warmest regards,
John Roach"
“Our work with Iain has helped us to continue to capture Market Share during a difficult housing economy. Iain’s insights, broad experience, and systematic approach helped us to develop systems and more importantly, the tools we needed to measure the results. This helped us to capture more customers, advertise more effectively, and keep focused on the most important parts of our business. I would recommend Iain to any business that is looking to break through stagnation, develop systems and grow to new levels!”

“Gritton Design engaged Iain Macfarlane of ActionCOACH to assist us with establishing and prioritizing critical business initiatives, achieving financial stability in a volatile industry and business climate and to help us manage our growth.
As a business owner who developed from a freelance service provider into the Principal of a design firm with several employees, I had no professional business training and was therefore especially appreciative of Iain’s ability to remove the intimidation from and demystify the process of business development. From the first meeting I had practical action steps that made the previously daunting tasks of business management more manageable. In the first two months alone, ActionCOACH provided practical insights on business plan development, employee relations, internal management systems, marketing and more. And what’s more...we were given tools, techniques, references, resources and coaching at every step to assist us with planning and implementation.
Our work with ActionCOACH has been the college course on business I had never had and the Life Coach/Business Coach relationship I desperately needed in order to fill the shoes of owner/manager I had grown into but never quite knew how to wear. This investment is one of the best I’ve made. Like solid legal or accounting counsel, working with Iain Macfarlane and ActionCOACH pays itself back ten-fold.”
