In today's video, I'm going to share how successful businesses are flipping the script on performance management. We'll explore how focusing on coaching and development first can transform your business culture, boost your billers' confidence, and actually make those tougher conversations more constructive when they're needed.

Are you leaving performance to chance in your business? Are you just hoping to get the results you want without clarity?

I see this all the time - usually resulting in a stressed, frustrated business owner, taking it all on themselves.

There is another way.

Here's a radical thought for recruitment & small business owners - what if performance conversations actually energised your team?

Somewhere along the way, the very mention of "performance" became associated with blame, fear and that dreaded march to HR. It's no wonder we all tense up at the phrase "we need to talk about your performance."

What if we changed this narrative in our businesses?

What happens when your team don’t really know what is expected of them?

• They don’t know how to perform at the levels you want?

• Someone leaves and nicks your data?

• Or goes off sick for three months and you can’t get hold of them?

There is always a better way …

You know exactly what I'm talking about - that employee who consistently underperforms, the one you've been meaning to address for weeks, months, maybe even years. Yet, here you are, once again picking up their slack, feeling the weight of unresolved issues on your shoulders.

Performance coaching can be a game-changer.

We help you get clear on what you really want from your career (not just what looks good on paper). We explore your values, strengths, and passions to help you make decisions that align with who you are.

Whether it's starting that dream business, changing careers entirely, or finding more fulfilment in your current situation, coaching can help you navigate the crossroads with confidence.Isn't it time you took control of your professional journey?

Low confidence can hold you back from reaching your full potential. (I get 99.9% of my leads from LinkedIn these days)It's like driving with the handbrake on - you can still move, but you're not going anywhere fast.This is something I work with my clients on all the time.

We work on reframing negative self-talk, building self-awareness, and developing strategies to boost your confidence in a genuine, lasting way.

It's deeply rewarding to witness my clients' evolution, seeing them step into their full potential both as individuals and as leaders. This work reminds me why I'm passionate about coaching.

Have you ever felt like an imposter in your professional life? How did you overcome it? I'd love to hear your experiences and insights.

Shifting our perspective is one of the most powerful tools we have. Instead of waiting for others to change or for situations to improve on their own, we can choose to be the catalyst for the change we want to see.

Clear is kind.

The first step to creating high performing teams that are happy and accountable is clarity. Clarity over what is expected and the ability to listen what is really going on.

If this is something you struggle with you aren’t alone. There is a solution.

In my many years of working with people, making teams tick is something that I’ve always been passionate about.

Sure, we all know sales figures are important, but there's so much more to the story, isn't there?

Ready to make your team really tick and find the magic?

As a holistic HR and business consultant, I've seen how integrating strategic planning, cultural development, and human-focused practices can transform small businesses.

When you align your growth strategy with your values and prioritise both financial success, personal development and employee wellbeing, amazing things happen.

What's your biggest challenge in scaling your small business?

As we peeled back the layers, we uncovered that there was a real lack of clarity. Lack of clarity about what he wanted from the business, where it was headed, what he needed from his team etc etc. Every day he felt that he was totally out of control - running from one panic situation to the next and never getting on top of the things that he knew would move the business forward. The team were confused, lacked motivation and were not performing.
