Enterprisecoach helps you and your people to align, collaborate and innovate for long term sustainable value.
We work directly with the local and global leadership teams that drive your business. Value is unlocked when they engage together in real time, whether in person or online, supported and challenged by us as coaches. And it usually takes several meetings over a period of at least 90 days to embed sustainable change. We’re flexible on just about everything else – time, place, location and duration.
We tackle the tough stuff – where there is no easy solution
Leaders come to our network when they face extraordinary challenges. We like it when you bring problems that appear insoluble. Complexity, conflict, competition and passion are our daily bread.
The work we do is beyond both training and consulting. It’s about helping your people untangle relationships, communications and differences in your business ecosystem to thrive and create more value.
We’re a boutique service, spanning the globe, helping your leadership teams unlock the value in the people dimension of your business.

Inspired by the Dish with One Spoon

And grateful to meet so many people here in what was first called “T'karonto” who are moved to honour this treaty made between the Anishinaabe, Mississaugas, and Haudenosaunee, where nations entered [...]
Creating space for change in business
Just over ten years ago, I sold my shares in the hi-tech business I had co-founded, and stepped out of the founder-CEO role. Recently I asked the buyer (who took over as CEO) to look back on the time of negotiating my departure and his takeover. Since then he and his team have taken the [...]
