Have you ever contemplated talking to a workplace trainer, a business coach, or an external consultant, and then worried they would trample over all the great work you’ve done in the past?
These real concerns mean many Australian businesses, executives and business owners miss the opportunity to learn from the experiences of those around them. At Shirlaws, we take concerns about our industry seriously – and we have ensured that our processes meet three key objectives.
We work to benefit your business. Our only focus is supporting your agenda. And we will give you the options necessary to ensure our coaching and training is delivered at your pace.
Your Business
Coaching comes from the fundamental recognition that the person who knows your business best is you. This means it leverages the awareness and ideas of you and your team, and delivers interactive outcomes that transfer abilities back into your business. Click here to find our more about how coaching differs from consulting, mentoring, and other forms of business support.
Your Agenda
There’s a saying that when the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. Many ‘business coaches’ really only specialise in a single area like marketing, facilitation or HR. Your opportunities (your needs and your own agenda) may be unrelated, but if that’s their only tool then they will try to hammer you with it.
All Shirlaws coaches are trained across the twenty different areas that make up core business capability. More importantly still, they each work as part of a local and our national team, meaning coaches with specific experience – from procedures manuals to sales training to international expansion – can be called upon to support your agenda.

Your Pace
One benefit of external business support is their ability to work to your pace and your budget. Some businesses want to be fast-growth world-beaters – it’s a fun ride, and our coaches will be there every step of the way. Others are equally successful growing incrementally or strategically, leveraging the experience of their Shirlaws coach as and when it’s most beneficial.
Shirlaws also recognises that these needs can change over time. A business that benefited from a focused project may now be best supported by monthly or quarterly team building. A business that wanted conference facilitation or a strategic review might now want all of their staff to benefit from a workshop program.
