Testimonials

Scott was a great addition to the Lodestone business coaching team on our recent operations improvement engagement at a gold mine in Canada.   Leading the site-wide cost reduction effort, he:

 

– coached site personnel to own the process and feel confident using the toolkit

 

– developed practical and simple cost reduction solutions that will last

 

– helped the site overdeliver against cost reduction targets that were perceived to be extremely aggressive.

 

Scott also made the work a lot of fun – he’s a fantastic team player and we look forward to working with him again

I worked with Scott to deliver a contractor cost reduction program. Scott brought a really structured approach that helped us identify our large cost reduction opportunities. His focus, energy and drive enabled us to deliver the targeted projects. We achieved excellent results & significant savings for the company. I’d recommend Scott’s coaching services to businesses that are looking to reduce their operating costs.

We had a great business concept but we didn’t fully understand how profitable the business could be. Scott modeled our business and determined the volume of clients we needed to achieve our current and future financial goals. He also found opportunities for us to increase our profits by 70%! Scott is an outstanding business coach. I’d recommend him to anyone that is looking to build or improve their business!

I have been fortunate enough to have had worked with Scott on two occasions – firstly as a colleague at Rio Tinto, and more recently at Compass Group where I drew on Scott’s business coaching services to support in a complex bid. Scott is a smart, diligent and positive guy that brings a unique and independent view. He takes a methodical and considered approach that allows him too successfully engage across the breadth of an organisation. I am pleased to recommend Scott and his business services.

Thank you Scott for all your help with Market Research as I was getting my business off the ground. The report you put together provided the direction I needed to have a successful launch. I would not hesitate to recommend you to any business owner looking to start on the right foot or expand their business.

I was attracting a large number of client enquiries. I was spending a lot of time addressing these enquiries, however, I wasn’t achieving targets associated with turning these enquiries into active clients. Scott worked with me to identify the key activities that really drove conversion rates and the reasons why they were currently lower than target, and to develop ideas to improve performance. The improvements we made to the way that I manage upfront client engagements led to a significant increase in conversation rates. I gained a better understanding of how my business operated and the areas I need to continually focus on in order to perform well
