Why Invest in a Business Coach?

Many small businesses fail due to avoidable mistakes, such as:

  • Lack of a comprehensive business plan: Directionless growth can derail success.
  • Failure to manage cash flow: Financial instability can cripple your business.
  • Not identifying your ideal client: Poor market fit results in lost opportunities.
  • Ineffective management: Low morale and wasteful spending can hinder growth.
  • Poor pricing strategy: Failing to balance competitiveness and profitability.
  • Underestimating administrative tasks: Leads to operational inefficiencies.
  • Refusal to pivot: Stagnation and missed opportunities can halt progress.
  • Hiring the wrong people: Negative impacts on performance and team dynamics.

Why Coaching Works

  • 48% of small businesses double their revenue after working with a business coach.
  • 98% of small businesses earn their coaching investment back, plus more, within a year of engaging with a business coach.

Growing your small business with a coach means you grow your small business faster. Let’s make that growth happen together.

How I Can Help You Succeed

Business Clarity Coaching

If you're feeling stuck, tired of the hustle and grind, not sure what your next step is, or you're struggling to get any traction on your goals because you're bogged down with client work, then a single Business Clarity Coaching session is your next best step.

You get my brain in your business so you can walk away with a clear path to success with confidence.


Business Growth Snapshot

Think of the Business Growth Snapshot like you're taking your business to a trusted advisor. This is your chance to have me take a close look at your business, identify where things are stuck, and provide actionable recommendations to help you generate more leads, convert more clients, and deliver exceptional results.

Here’s how it works after you sign up:

  • You’ll fill out a short questionnaire that gives me a clear picture of your business.
  • I’ll review your information, focusing on key areas from my Success Pathway Framework—Marketing, Sales, and Delivery.
  • You’ll receive a personalised video breakdown where I share my screen and walk through the exact steps I would take to help you optimise your business for growth.
  • You’ll also get advice on streamlining your systems, saving time, and boosting your profits.

Your custom video will be delivered within 48 hours, and you can immediately start implementing the changes. Easy, actionable, and tailored just for you!


Business Coaching & Mentoring

Your business is doing okay, but you’re ready to take it to a whole new level. You know that if you want different results, you have to do things differently! Coaching helps reset your mindset and opens the door to a new perspective. It’s time to get focused and move forward towards your goals and dreams without hesitation.

Through private 1:1 coaching, I guide you toward your business goals in a way that respects your values and uncovers your strengths. Together, we’ll work on strategies that are practical and adaptable, providing real, actionable advice every step of the way to ensure you achieve lasting results.


Project Plan & Workflows in a Day

This is for the growth stage service entrepreneur who wants to leverage their existing success with business strategies they need to grow a highly profitable business and step into the role of CEO in 2024/25, but they don’t want to spend six months working out how.

What my clients have to say ....

Aatea has had the pleasure of working with Sandra since 2000 first in assisting us with setting up our business systems (and running them) and then in organising field events for our research contracts. In the last few years we have helped Sandra front events she has managed. Sandra and her team have always followed through with great accuracy, with a human touch that creates a welcoming environment. I recommend Sandra to organisations who want professionalism and results.

Hinerangi Edwards
Director, Aatea

Sandra organised several conferences for me when I worked in the health sector. She is thoroughly professional. I appreciated her ability to tune in quickly to the conference theme and character. This led to success – good attendances and great feedback. Sandra was responsive and nimble when dealing with the usual conference challenges. I particularly enjoyed her passion for her work, backed by commitment to quality. I would not hesitate to recommend her as a conference organiser.

Julie Haggie
CEO, Transparency International

I love that Auaha is Māori wāhine owned and operated while being kaupapa driven. They are true leaders in bringing diversity to the conference space. In addition, they made our whole process easy and provided all sorts of stress-free fun throughout the event, including an amazing networking experience that really brought the WOW factor. We completely trusted their ability to translate our desires for the event (and for our participants) into a reality. They took care of the large pieces and deftly handled the little things that make a ho-hum event into something memorable. Ultimately, they made it easy for us!
