Business Coach and Peer Advisory Boards in North East Scotland

Strategic Support for Business Owners and Leaders Ready to Take Action

Business growth should energise you, not overwhelm you. At TAB North East Scotland, we work with ambitious business owners, managing directors, and senior leaders who want more than just business success. They want more freedom, clarity, and control in life, too.

We believe that when you connect with experienced peers, receive personalised support, and use the right tools, you stop feeling stuck and start making real progress.

We provide a complete suite of services designed to help you think more strategically, make better decisions, and lead with confidence:

🔹 Peer Advisory Boards: Monthly, confidential peer board meetings with fellow business leaders who challenge your thinking, offer fresh perspectives, and help you stay accountable.

🔹 1:1 Business Coaching: Tailored one-to-one coaching sessions to explore your goals, break through roadblocks, and build the business—and life—you really want.

🔹 Strategic Tools & Assessments: From diagnostic tools to planning templates and behavioural insights, we help you work on your business, not just in it.

🔹 StratPro™: Where strategy meets productivity. StratPro aligns your senior team through structured workshops that define vision, culture, and a clear action plan.

🔹 HI-MAP™ (High Impact Manager Accelerator Program): Empower your managers and supervisors with practical, real-world training to improve team performance, communication, and day-to-day leadership skills. 👉 See HI-MAP in Action

🔹 DiSC Profiling™: Develop stronger teams by understanding how communication styles influence collaboration and productivity.

🔹 Value Builder Assessment™: Learn what drives the value of your business and how to increase it. Ideal for those thinking about growth, succession, or preparing for exit.

Local Leaders. Real Results.

Running a business can be isolating. Many of our members came to TAB looking for clarity, a sounding board, and a way forward. What they found was far more:

David tackled retention and productivity challenges by aligning his team around clear, shared goals.
Gail embraced innovation and strategic reinvention through dedicated peer and coaching support.
Kevin elevated himself out of the day-to-day by ensuring that competent people were empowered and entrusted without my involvement.

These aren’t case studies—they’re transformations. And they happened here, in the North East Scotland.
