Shirlaws began in Australia in 1999 and last year celebrated its 10th anniversary. During this time Shirlaws in Australia has serviced over 2,000 clients from SMEs to large corporates. Our clients have received various industry and national awards, and many have joined Shirlaws as local businesses appearing on BRWs 'Fast 100' list.
Shirlaws continues to grow and develop as a leader of the coaching industry. In 2003 we expanded from Australia into New Zealand, the UK, and the USA, and we now have additional operations in Spain, the UAE, and Canada while servicing clients based in 27 different nations.
The company was founded on the belief that business decisions in enterprises are based as much on people, their emotions and culture as on fundamental numeric disciplines or data. Our Values of Open, Honest and Fair direct all activity throughout the business, aligning coaching teams and resources to a common purpose, and it is this balanced approach that Shirlaws brings to all its clients which helps them achieve their outcomes as well.
What is Business Coaching at Shirlaws?
Through business coaching, Shirlaws helps businesses to grow. Working with businesses, we focus on three areas - revenue, productivity, and strategy. We focus not only on the commercial aspects of doing business but also on the cultural factors that affect human interaction.
Irrespective of the product or service a business provides, business issues are all fundamentally the same. This means that we can work with any business, of any size, in any sector. All of our coaching materials and frameworks are Shirlaws own and we have a full time product team dedicated to developing and refining the product and providing coach support.
Business Coaching is also about supporting growing businesses in the best possible way for their needs and plans. As a result, Shirlaws is also an industry leader in providing Business Training and delivering specific outcomes through Facilitation, Conference Speakers, and our own ongoing Events.
Fantastic opportunity
Our business coaches are self-employed and fully dedicated to Shirlaws. They have the freedom to choose their clients, choose their work and drive their own business growth. The family culture within Shirlaws also means that they have full support from the national teams as well as working closely with colleagues in the team they have chosen to join.
New coaches receive up to 40 days training and development in the first year, and the strength is in combining our training with their commercial experience. A critical selling point for Shirlaws is our unique intellectual property, in the form of coaching frameworks, enabling a consistent client experience.
