What others say...

  • Damien has been an inspiration and an invaluable asset to our business and our practices. The 1-2-1 sessions have ventured through brilliant business advice, accountable actions and useful contacts. Occasionally almost venturing in to business counselling and at times with solid and honest home truths that even if hard to admit, are incredibly valuable. The board meetings have always brought up fantastic insights and the benefits of being able to discuss any issues in a safe and respected environment should not be underestimated. Helping each other’s businesses to traverse obstacles and find solutions is both incredibly useful and rewarding. I would gladly recommend The Alternative Board to any business owner.

    Peter Bird, WATB

  • Why choose TAB?

  • I’ve found a new energy and clarity since I’ve joined TAB: the mix of group and one-to-one meetings gives me a safe space to work on my business rather than in it, and that has been transformative. The necessity of preparing my issue for the board each month in itself helps me think more clearly. Other board members always bring perspectives and ideas I would never have considered and are generous in offering help and contacts and the one-to-one sessions are the perfect mix of support and challenge. I’d recommend it without hesitation.

YOU’VE MADE IT TO THE TOP, NOW IT’S TIME TO GO EVEN HIGHER

As you know, life in business moves fast. This can leave you feeling reactive rather than proactive, not leading the way you want.

This is where our Management Coaching and Business Mentoring comes in. Each session is designed to give you the time and space you need to get that all-important clarity – to see exactly what you need to do to steer your business in the right direction. 

YOU’RE NO STRANGER TO CHALLENGES

One that you can use to map out your business goals, reach them and surpass them. Coaching and Mentoring from TAB is a no-nonsense approach to making your vision a reality. 

Coaching and Mentoring is a great way of working towards:

  • Regaining your work/life balance
  • Gaining a fresh perspective on your business
  • Creating a real-time action plan
  • Developing your vision
  • Delivering success and measurable results

[The Board]

IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE LONELY AT THE TOP

A board that understands the challenges you face

Small Business Coach

Your Advisory Board will be made up of around six fellow business owners that you’ll meet up with each month. They won’t have any vested interest so you can be sure you’re getting honest advice that will genuinely improve the way you run your business. Best of all, you’ll see the same faces at each meeting, so your board will get to know you and your business really well. 

Every month you can talk through an issue or an opportunity that you’ve been met with. It gives you a fresh set of eyes, ears and opinions on the issues you have previously had to deal with on your own. 

 

[1-2-1 Mentoring]

MAKING BUSINESS PERSONAL

Your one-to-one mentor

Your Coaching and Mentoring also includes a monthly 1-2-1 with your local TAB facilitator – your very own mentor on speed dial. 

They are there to help you rediscover the excitement you had when you first set up your own business and remind you why you did it. They will also help to keep you focused, accountable and on track to achieve your goals. 

[Business Builder’s Toolkit]

GIVING YOU ALL THE TOOLS YOU NEED

The TAB Business Builder’s Toolkit

More money, more time, more freedom – do you remember why you started your own business? Chances are you aspired to achieve your dreams rather than simply accomplish tasks, and the TAB Business Builder’s Toolkit is about doing exactly that.

The TAB Business Builder’s Toolkit is the industry-leading strategic management platform built exclusively for TAB members. You can use the platform to create strategies that can then be presented back to the board for feedback and advice. It’s a proven planning process that focuses on delivering your vision.
