London Based Estate Agent & Property Developer

“…I’m sure it was at a Brad Sugars event I heard him do the “how many days do you spend planning your lives VS how many weeks do you spend planning a one week holiday” speech. That struck a chord…
I made a lot of changes from hearing those words but I too easily forget the things I’ve heard and learnt in the past. I guess it’s a symptom of everyday firefighting. It was brilliant to have you remind me of those things and teach me new things.

“I immediately realised the second you said it, I’ve built a business that’s too “Dave” orientated. That was never what I wanted. I want a business that feeds my lifestyle and doesn’t require me to be there that often. At the moment I have a business that needs me each day and it has a negative impact on my lifestyle because of it! Quite the opposite of my intention. However I think it’s easily corrected.

“I would probably have continued like that if it wasn’t for you. Thank you!

“Chris has helped my business immeasurably in the past 5 months. I realised I was spending most of my time working in the business and not on it. I had a vision of what it could be but the path towards achieving this was not clear. Through accountability, support and learning I have been able to define my vision and the steps needed to make it happen. 5 months in and I am both staggered and proud by the progress made. I now have flexibility in my working week to start doing some of things I had promised myself I would do.

“Chris is always there when you need support or have a question and he genuinely cares about your business with honest, open advice in good humour.

“If you are run your own business, are spending more time working in it than on it and have unfulfilled dreams in life then I would recommend Chris Henry, Action Coach.”

“When I first met Chris I could see the benefits of the coaching he was offering and was instantly interested, seeing as I had recently been promoted to director after my dad retired. I had never run a business before and wanted to put my own mark on it and grow the business beyond what my dad had achieved, partly to make him proud and partly for my own satisfaction of doing a great job with the company my dad had built from the ground up.

“I’m still in the early stages of my business coaching with Chris but I have already seen benefits in terms of organisation of myself and my team, being more in control of the team and asserting my position as director, setting myself & the team goals & achieving them. Also, most importantly increasing our turnover versus the previous financial year. I think this can be linked to the work I have done with Chris so far which is pushing us all in the same direction towards our goals, and I can’t wait to move onto the next phase and really begin to grow the company beyond its current level.

“If you have recently been promoted to running a business or are in the process of just beginning a new company I would highly recommend Chris and the ActionCOACH team to help you achieve your goals, give you focus and set you on the track to growth & success.”

“….I have worked with Chris as my Business Coach since Sept 2014 and in this time I have seen my business grow from strength to strength. Chris has input a lot of time to help me focus on the right parts of the business which I wasn’t doing before. In this period of time I have recruited a PA which has made a big difference to the business, my PA was sourced via Chris also.

Article from one of Chris’ clients

Here’s an extract from an article about ActionCOACH, by a business Chris Henry is working with:

One thing to grow from BNI membership has been Mark’s involvement with ActionCOACH – a way of supporting people in business to help them become more effective in their roles.

Mark heard ActionCOACH founder Brad Sugars speaking at an event and was impressed by what he had to say.
In essence, Action Coaching helps owners of small and medium-sized businesses with their sales, marketing, management, team building and more.

Like a sports coach, an Action Coach pushes business people to achieve their optimum performance and provides support and advice.

Sheards Wealth Management Ltd

“…re our recent (Planning) Meeting, all the staff at Sheards Wealth Management felt that the session (facilitated by Chris) was really interesting and has helped make them feel more involved in the business.

“I believe that this coaching will have a tangible benefit for my business and would recommend that those wishing to get “their ducks in a row” should make an appointment with Chris.”

MARK STEWART, DIRECTOR
SHEARDS WELATH MANAGEMENT LIMITED

Industrial Cleaning Company in Dewsbury

“Having worked with Chris for a number of months now, I have a clear focus on goals and framework to follow that leads to the achievement of these goals.  I feel both in myself and my business that we have more purpose and direction.

“The road is a long one but the accountability of weekly calls are a vital element in both supporting me in keeping on track and challenging me to do the right things when needed.

“I do feel Chris and Action Coach are there for me when I need them.”

ANDREW TAYLOR
MANAGING DIRECTOR: SONIC SOLUTIONS LTD.

Telecoms & IT Company in Halifax

“I’ve now had two training sessions with Chris Henry, both were fantastic & formalised things my business already does but in a ‘fuzzy’ way.

“Now we know the reason behind lots of our business decisions and why we do what we do. Some incredible revelations about who are the top achievers in our society…and why.

“If you need help understanding your business then this is the man to be speaking to…make it sooner rather than later.

“Little gems such as 3% of the working population produce 98% of the Worlds turnover and the reason this happens was like an illuminating beacon to me…eye opening stuff.

“My follow up Annual Sales and Marketing meeting was entirely produced from information gained from Chris’s workshops; everyone agreed it was the best I have ever given, thanks to you Chris.”

STEVEN BARRET
MANAGING DIRECTOR: PORTEL AV

Electrical Services Company in Halifax

“I engaged Chris to undertake some Finance development work and Coaching whilst he was on a business trip to Western Australia.

“We were very pleased with the output and the positive impact he had on our business.  So much so I engaged Chris to support me with my UK based business D Hall Electrical Services Limited to undertake some Finance development work and Coaching with my team.

“Chris is an excellent listener and strong communicator with a wealth of Business/Finance experience.

“The output & guidance delivered by Chris was clear, concise and very well received by myself & my team.

“I would have no hesitation in recommending Chris for future coaching/business development work.”
