Testimonials

“Graeme was engaged by Auditel to help us bring our sales process into line with our new marketing messaging after a significant brand refresh. Graeme has blown us away with what he has achieved. The impact has been revolutionary and has given us a step change in our sales approach, meaning we are now focused totally on clients’ needs and delivering on our clients’ key strategic objectives. Working with the marketing team, our proposals have come to life and he is helping us win more business. The feedback from our consultants has been very positive and due to Graeme’s excellent training, he has made the day-to-day application of these approaches very straight forward. I would have no hesitation in recommending Graeme to any company who is looking to drive growth in their business.” Chris Aston, MD – Auditel

“I contacted Graeme to engage in his leadership coaching as I was feeling overwhelmed, lacking confidence and clarity with moving forward in my career. I have worked with coaches before but working with Graeme has been the best personal investment I have ever made. He has helped me to discover the value of my own skills, achievements, and experiences, encouraging me to become the best version of myself through simple, effective methods that I am able to put into practice every day. It has been an absolute pleasure working with him.” Vicky Brown, Franchise Development Manager – Bluebird Care

“We have been working with Why Leadership for the past year and have found Graeme to be an excellent mentor, business coach and source of sound advice. Graeme has a wealth of business experience, especially in the franchising sector, that he has used to mentor and coach the leadership team within Geek Retreat, and which has been a real factor in allowing us to achieve record growth in the past 12 months. Specifically, Graeme has assisted us in developing our leadership team, developing a strategic plan and building a high-performing team to increase the profitability of our franchisee network. We cannot recommend Graeme and Why Leadership highly enough.” Peter Dobson, CEO- Geek Retreat Franchising Limited
