Our recent survey of over 120 CHCH business owners confirmed what we already suspected...

Leading a team is HARD ๐Ÿ˜…

You want accountability without micromanaging.
You want people to take ownership.
You want to stop repeating yourself.
And you want your team performing at a higher level.

But finding the balance between performance ๐ŸŽฏ and people ๐Ÿ‘ฏ isn't always straightforward.

That's exactly what we'll be tackling at our next Growth Intensive.

Together, we'll help you identify the KPIs that matter, build practical accountability systems, and navigate the human side of leadership. You'll also hear from Holly Gibson on leading performance conversations with confidence, clarity and care. ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ

This isn't a sit-back-and-listen kind of day.

You'll be workshopping, problem-solving, and putting ideas into action so you leave with more than inspiration and a to-do-list ... you leave with a plan, already in motion.

Pretty out the gate for a farmer to engage a business coach. ๐ŸŒพ

But funnily enough, many of the same headaches our professional service clients face show up in farming too.

An absolute pleasure working with Harry!

Feel pretty privileged to do what we do with such great people across CHCH and beyond. ๐Ÿ™Œ

Another weekend, another working bee ๐Ÿ - this time at Zia's.
The sun was out, the gumboots were on - and no family member was exempt.

Ivy was ripped out, trees were cut back, the trailer was filled - and the landscape was generally wrestled into submission.

Brian would be proud as punch ๐Ÿ‘Š

When should you increase your prices? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

One number to track closely is your conversion rate.

If virtually everyone you send a quote/proposal to is saying yes, then itโ€™s a good indication you could be due a price rise.

Ideally you want to find a sweet spot where youโ€™re plenty of work at a healthy margin and filtering out any clients who are less than ideal.

As a rough rule of thumb though, if 3/10 people arenโ€™t complaining about your prices youโ€™re too cheap.

So, whatโ€™s your conversion rate and when did you last increase your prices?

The best kind of chaos ๐ŸŽ‰

We wrapped up the month with a couple of epic Boardrooms, classic Kiwi style: party mix, Toffee Pops, and chips + onion dip (non-negotiable).

Another big run of best-ever-months โ€ฆ we ran out of party poppers ๐Ÿซ 

Admittedly a little bittersweet today, as we reshuffle groups to keep things fresh. Saying goodbye to familiar faces, but making space for new perspectives from business owners across different, non-competing industries.

If youโ€™ve been curious about Boardroom - or business coaching in general - get in touch.

Weโ€™ll set up a strategy session, and if it's a fit, weโ€™ll get you on the waitlist.ย ย ๐Ÿ‘Š

EOFY is a funny time.

For most business owners, it wraps up with a sense that the year didn't quite go the way they hoped.

That's the reality of running a business in 2026. The headlines haven't helped, confidence is down, and there's a lot of noise out there. ๐Ÿ“‰

But when we reviewed our clients' year-end results, 91% had a stronger year than the one before. ๐Ÿ’ช

It's not that the economy was kind to them โ€“ it wasn't. But they knew their numbers, they had a plan, and they weren't doing it alone.

Worth asking: what would need to change for your next year to look different? ๐Ÿค”

P.S. More to come on the 9% who *didn't* have a better financial year soon. ๐Ÿ˜‰

If I had a dollar for every time I heard โ€œyou canโ€™t find good people in my industryโ€ฆโ€ ๐Ÿ’ฐ

Less common is anyone doing more than the bare minimum - posting on Seek or TradeMe and hoping for the best.

Dan from is someone doing things differently. Of all the businesses looking for people in Sydenham right now, heโ€™s the only one with a sign on his gate.

Stack enough of those one percenters together - a sign, a vehicle wrap, an email to your database, a Meta ad - and youโ€™ve got a much better shot than your competitors.

Want a list of ideas? Send me a DM with โ€œTHE LISTโ€ and Iโ€™ll shoot it across.โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹๐Ÿ‘Š

EOFY doesn't have to be this way!
