CUSTOMER REVIEW BY COSTA S LEFT ON 15 NOV 2022
Working in my business for several years I decided it's time to scale the business and grow a profitable enterprise that runs without me.
This is where I found ActionCOACH and started coaching sessions with Helen. Before working on the business we identified that we need to fix the team.
With Helens expertise in HR we went through the recruitment process including a deselection process to find the best candidates for the job, and we did! Having the team in place enabled me to spend more time working on the business than in the business.
The coaching sessions with Helens has helped me identify the areas I need to focus on through the 6 steps framework and we used this as a guide to define the goals and tasks in our 90 day planning.
This is a great way to check our daily actions are aligned with our goals. We recently attended the Raise your Hand, Raise your Profits tour presented by Brad Sugars (founder of ActionCOACH) and Marcus Sheridan (author of They Ask You Answer) which was a fun, action packed learning session.
We made significant improvements to our marketing and proud to receive the Marketing award at GrowthCLUB 2022. Having Helen as a business coach has been a game changer and the best thing I've done for the business and myself.
I now have a team in place, the business turnover and profit has significantly improved and I'm spending more time with the family. Thank you Helen!
I highly recommend Helen at ActionCOACH to anyone who wants to improve and grow their business.
CUSTOMER REVIEW BY SOPHIE D LEFT ON 14 NOV 2022
We started working with Helen back in 2019 and it was the best decision we could have ever made for our business. Nobody knows how to run a business when they first start and often learn most lessons the hard way.
Having a business coach eliminates so many pitfalls and helps get you ahead so much quicker than you would without help. Helen not only supports you through training but has created a wonderful group where entrepreneurs can help and learn from each other.
Her fun, engaging and enthusiastic approach to coaching makes you want to be better at business! In our opinion all business owners or entrepreneurs should have a business coach, and we are certainly lucky to have Helen as ours.
CUSTOMER REVIEW BY STU C LEFT ON 14 NOV 2022
I am so very thankful, and will eternally be so, that we decided to partner with, and invest in, the fantastic Helen Pethybridge at ActionCOACH Chilterns Central.
Helen has been the tonic, and indeed the ‘medicine’ that we needed. We started this year battered, with low spirits and unclear of our future direction.
The pandemic had destroyed our business, our confidence and our self belief. 2020 was awful, 2021 was horrific. Helen has supported us and helped to reset our focus and our ambitions, with strategic input and honest, frank direction. She is also mega fun to work with!
We have worked tirelessly under her steer - and now have a healthy new business pipeline, and awesome new client wins to boot. This ship has turned!!! We are feeling more positive than a Duracell battery on full charge. If you want a business growth coach who will be direct, honest and get results - then I strongly advise speaking with her.
Helen’s approach and counsel is non judgemental, creative and continually makes us ask ourselves difficult questions. We’ve addressed elephants in the room and smashed down barriers.
It’s been a cathartic and positive experience and a relationship we will certainly continue with. Helen has made an immeasurable difference to our lives, our sanity and our business. Things are on the up and we are firmly back in the game.
Thank you Helen. You will never know the difference you have made. ✨ #Chilterns #ActionCoachChilterns #Coaching #Business #ExecutiveCoaching #Growth #BusinessAdvice
CUSTOMER REVIEW BY SILVIA D LEFT ON 11 NOV 2022
Helen and I have been working together for quite a few years, initially in a group setting when I was freelancing, then that my business has grown (thanks to her invaluable support) I moved to 1-1.
I keep singing her praises to anyone I know. Thanks to her I now have a team of 6 employees, my budget and forecasts are in place, quarterly planning sessions help me set goals and in our fortnightly meetings we make them happen.
My business definitely would not be the same without her, and I wouldn't either, because she really helps me learn how to "do" but also how to "be" the person I need.
I could go on writing forever, but I'll stop at: get her on board. I assure you won't ever regret it - you'll just wish you had done it sooner!
CUSTOMER REVIEW BY NEIL B LEFT ON 11 NOV 2022
We have benefited from Helen and ActionCOACH expertise since November 2017. In 5 years our Turnover has doubled. We have moved from making a loss to a substantial profit and a better Work Life Balance as well.
We (Sylvia and I) continue to benefit from Helen's wisdom and support. She is invaluable. We highly recommend her.
CUSTOMER REVIEW BY CARRIE J LEFT ON 27 MAY 2021
I met Helen through a networking event and I can highly recommend her sessions and her approach. I have attended one of Helen's workshops and had a follow up 1:1 meeting with her.
During start of covid she also offered coaching sessions over zoom. During each one of these sessions I received great advice and useful information.
She has a lot of energy, is friendly, and her approach inspires you to move forward, especially at times when you feel stuck. So pleased I met Helen. Thank you!
CUSTOMER REVIEW BY JAMES K LEFT ON 8 FEB 2021
How do you truly know how effectively your business is running? I reached out to Helen in order to test my own assumptions and get an impartial perspective on how I was running my business. One thing that became apparent early on during our session was how adept Helen was at getting a good understanding of how my business was run and the areas that required attention.
This feedback and assessment was hugely valuable and comes from someone who has clearly reviewed numerous businesses.
I continue to implement the feedback and points Helen gave me and as my business develops I will no doubt be going back for more coaching.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants to improve, develop or grow their business.
CUSTOMER REVIEW BY LORRAINE W LEFT ON 10 JUN 2020
We were recommended Helen when looking at how to manage our business during and post COVID19. What an inspiration - thank you.
Helen's manages to mix enthusiasm with professionalism which gives you the impetus to make the changes. She provides down to earth advice and tailors her ideas to your business. I would recommend Helen to any small business.
CUSTOMER REVIEW BY S CYSTER LEFT ON 1 MAY 2020
As part of the Bucks Business Festival 2020 Helen had organised a "6 Steps to creating a business that can work without you" workshop which I attended. This event was excellent, informative and insightful.
Helen was a wonderful host and presented the material in an easy to understand and compelling manor. I went away fired up and excited about my businesses future. Thank you Helen!
CUSTOMER REVIEW BY GRUMBLING G LEFT ON 24 MAR 2020
We have been working with Helen for over a year now and can't recommend her and ActionCOACH enough. We have been so grateful for all the great advice and help she has given us.
CUSTOMER REVIEW BY EDINA B LEFT ON 26 NOV 2019
Highly recommended! I have attended Helen's Workshop in September and had a 1:1 meeting with her last week.
I received so many great advice and useful information which I can use to make huge changes and difference to my business.
She is friendly, encouraging and more importantly solution-focused. Very pleased with her session. Thank you Helen!
CUSTOMER REVIEW BY KARINE L LEFT ON 24 JUL 2019
I have attended Helen's Action Club for the last 6 months. The fortnightly sessions are fun yet structured and the experience of working with the group is invaluable.

CUSTOMER REVIEW BY NICK W LEFT ON 9 JUL 2019
Since I first met Helen at a networking event almost a year back now, she keeps inspiring and drawing out qualities from me, arranging them in a well structured format to build my business upon.
Not only having somebody for me to be accountable to, Helen brings excitement, direction and drive to the business. Learning new principles at Helen's training sessions, bi-weekly reflection/planning calls and then when I've hooked something big, Helen is there to help me reel in that big fish.
Each day I reflect upon lessons learnt from Helen and this keeps making me a better business owner, not just an employee; proven daily to bring great success and stability to my now revitalised business.
I am a RAVING FAN of Helen and actionCOACH and would highly 'recommend', no 'challenge' anybody to consider how Helen may make your life (not just your business) so much better. Give her a chance to demonstrate and I know you wont feel it was a waste of your time.
