Testimonials

         

 

Mark Grant

Licensed Business Coach, ActionCOACH Business Coaching, London

“I was introduced to Harry in summer 2008 by a mutual friend/coaching colleague in New York who explained that Harry was looking for a Coach to take his team of South African coaches to the next level. During our first (and subsequent) conversations Harry demonstrated an open, straightforward decisive approach and a warm sense of humour. I felt instinctively he is a man of his word and one that I could totally trust. Underpinning his way of working is a sound business mind and business insights. There is howerver, one particular quality that has really impacted on me. Harry is a man who really listens and makes a connection with people naturally and quickly. Whenever we talk or meet, he demonstrates the rare skill of making me feel I'm valued for who I am and what I do. In summary, Harry is a great leader and I am so pleased to have met him and to have worked with him.” December 9, 2009

Franchise Prospects:

"I've assessed many other business services opportunities and with all the others I feel like I need to teach them something. With ActionCOACH I feel like an article clerk on his first day looking up to the partners of the firm and aspiring to one day be one of them." 
 Dawie Laas, investigating ActionCOACH, Bloemfontein (Free State)

 

 "Great meeting you and thanks for allowing me to explore the Action Coach Franchise opportunity.  Like MasterCard, its priceless."                               John Hill, investigating ActionCOACH, Cape Town (Western Cape)

 

Existing Franchisees:

"I have been coaching “informally” on my own for a long time and I found that it was difficult to market myself as well as coach clients. I spent about 60% of my time researching solutions and learning more about coaching. Clearly the balance was not right. During this time, although I am a committed entrepreneur, I found that I missed the team interaction I had experienced in my corporate career. When I found ActionCOACH I felt that the franchise concept and global team I could leverage, would check most of my boxes. A year out of training, I know that I was right, and not only that, I have exceeded my all my goals and expectations. This is largely due to massive action on my part and the tried and tested systems that come with a franchise like this. Just as I think that I have learned what I need to know to serve my clients, ActionCOACH throws a curved ball and the learning begins all over again. I wanted a concept that would grow me as well as my earnings, and I have achieved that. I have no reason to believe that I will not achieve my personal goals as well as my business goals and I am grateful that I made the decision to join ActionCOACH. And no, I have not been given a discount on my royalty to say these things! 

I found that there was transparency in all my dealings with ActionCOACH and there was no hard sell. I think that this business finds you as much as you find it. You need to resonate with the concept of unlocking potential in others and if it does, then there is no need for a traditional sale to take place. Your due diligence is your own responsibility and this was one of the things that helped convince me that I was making the right decision. 

The initial training in Las Vegas was without doubt a tough 11 days, but worth every hour. You get what you pay for and more. Like most things in life, if you participate, you are rewarded, and this is no different. I believe that my training was responsible for the fastest personal growth curve I have ever experienced and having spent 17 years in senior roles in corporate, this is no bull. But it does not end there. There is a 3 month training academy to reinforce all the material and to familiarise you with how the system operates, and then the regular session with my own coach help keep me on track, kinda! Once I realised that I had to work harder on myself than I do on my business, I reached a whole new level. And now I am looking at the next one..."

Patrick Greenaway, ActionCOACH business coach, Hilton (KZN) - February 2008 training

 
"The offering appeared to be a fantastic opportunity for self development and I loved the company Vision – ”World abundance through business re-education”. After looking at many franchises over the years, this was the first to feel right/’fit’ me from outset."
Trevor Clark, ActionCOACH Business Coach, Durban (KZN) - December 2009 training
 
 

Business Coaching Clients:

"I’ve really been standing with the whip of enthusiasm and conviction to entice the staff to join the next leg of the MBS journey. As you can probably feel, I’m charged with a new energy and passion to do everything possible to move the gym from here…….to there: to be recognized by the whole of Hout Bay community and it’s visitors as the preferred fitness facility.
