What they're saying about Leaps 'n' Bounds Coaching...
Previously I had floundered with the help of well meaning friends & acquaintances who either didnt know what they were doing or had an agenda for me or my business. Having no formal business training, I have learnt everything there is to learn about business in the school of hard knocks. Had I have had someone like Rochelle helping me from the beginning, I would not have made most of the mistakes I made in starting up & running the business.The difference Rochelle made was almost immediate. We started with writing a promotional letter to my existing customers & my monthly sales more than tripled. We assessed in detail what I was currently doing & worked on how to improve my net profit. We looked at how to collect customer contact details that I previously hadn't been collecting. We set a marketing plan for the up & coming year so the business had direction. We were constantly assessing what was working & what wasnt. Marketing was measured and profits calculated on every campaign we did.
Rochelle is my back stop. She is there for me & supports me in whatever direction I want to take the business whilst offering balanced, objective input. I cannot recommend Rochelle enough; she really understands the struggles women go through in trying to find balance while juggling their business & family life.

My reason for seeking coaching was to get myself organized. I knew where I wanted to go and what I wanted to achieve, I just didnt know how to get organized to see things clearly enough to get there. I am now on track, making a profit and moving forward at my chosen pace, which is very important whilst Im a stay at home full time Mum.
It is reassuring to know that I have some one to talk to about any issues of my business or to bounce ideas off. Rochelle always asks the correct questions to enable me to make the right choices and decisions required. She is always happy to provide feedback and ideas on anything I put to her. There are no boundaries and nothing is too difficult. Rochelle continues to support and provide me with positive advice and feedback whilst maintaining my motivation and focus at all times.

Before I began coaching, I was going through a pretty stressful time personally, and knew that this was affecting my business. When I started coaching, I thought it would just help me get my business back under control. What I achieved through working with Rochelle was a feeling of control not only over my business, but perhaps more importantly my personal life.
I have a clear direction in which I am headed, and more time to pursue new business, instead of constantly fighting fires. I now work during business hours, no longer taking things home to do, and my kids really appreciate that!! The real proof came when I went to our last shareholders meeting (its a family business) and my family could not believe what a difference there was in me, and how I was running my business.

I came to coaching to learn time management skills and to put some structure into my new business. I had never owned a business before, and I was feeling a little overwhelmed (OK, more than a little!). Through the process of coaching, I discovered that I really didn't want to be in this business, and have since had four job offers in the past month with a higher salary package than I have ever been offered before. With Rochelle's support I have taken the role that I know is the right one for me. I am also starting up a part-time catering business to indulge one of my passions.

Since meeting with Rochelle on a fortnightly basis over the past year, I have been able to further develop my vision in a practical and real way. Rochelle has demonstrated how to identify target markets the most effective ways to reach them, improve and implement systems to measure success, identify ways to increase profit through lead generation, margins and conversion rates, and manage my time more effectively whilst juggling work with a young family. I look forward to an ongoing relationship with Rochelle, and consider her both an integral part of my business development and a personal friend.

I've been in this business for five years. It's always run well, and I've made a good living, but it seems to be 'just enough', never really allowing me to grow. In just one session I have gained the confidence I have been lacking to increase my prices. I have also learned a lot more about myself, and how I interact with staff and clients. I never understood why my staff never seemed to work out. they either left, or they didn't work well and I had to ask them to leave. Now I can recognise the patterns I have been working in, I have hired two new staff who are bringing business with them. I now allow myself to have two days off a week, and yet am still earning the same income. I can see myself on the plains of Africa sooner than I ever imagined.

I want you to know that the most important thing to me about our meeting was not helping me set my goals, or helping me define them or put them in order, or any of the other great things I got out of it. It was that you didn't laugh at my goals, that you thought they were possible, and that I should be thinking even bigger than I was. That meant the world to me!

I can truly recommend Rochelle as a business coach, she has been instrumental in helping me put into place fundamental systems and strategies that will help me to continue building a more efficient business. Rochelle manages to remind me of my own visions and desires when necessary in order to further motivate me towards success while asking the right questions and offering the right advice. I believe that Rochelle is very good at identifiying the specifics of problems. Rochelle is a very good listener and continues to support me in my achievements in both my personal and working life.
Kerrieann, Life Coach
Since I decided to enlist the help of Rochelle Dent of Leaps n Bounds Coaching my life has changed for the better. I was running a small business and had no confidence in myself. I thought that I was a failure and was too afraid to change things in case they did not work. I was also panicking about my future as I am nearly 60 years old and did not think I was going to survive on what I had saved. My business has improved with Rochelle's Coaching! I have plans in place and I am spending time learning new ways to manage both my business and my life. I feel like things are just beginning for me and am looking forward to the future with the excitement I felt when I was 20!
