WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING
REVIEWS
My company and myself have been using elemental solutions for nearly 6 months now and having Katherine’s influence has certainly pushed me a new level in my business management, one I wouldn’t have got to on my own. I love the way she not only coaches and guides me on what needs to be done but uses her time to get hands on with my business and get tasks done for me not just pointing the finger at me to do this and that so to speak. Recommend!

My stress levels have lowered and the business planning and scheduling are going from strength to strength.
I look forward to all the coaching sessions and strategies for the business to grow

We discovered Katherine through attending her HIA training sessions. Her straightforward and practical solutions to the building industry instantly caught our attention.
When the opportunity came to work with Katherine as our Business Coach we didn’t hesitate. We didn’t know at the time we would be getting a lot more than Katherine’s expertise; she also has an extensive team of experts to collaborate with.
Katherine and her team have helped grow our business by streamlining our processes, hiring new staff, expanding our sales, and setting specific goals. She has opened our business eyes to opportunities we hadn’t previously seen.
We highly recommend Elemental Solutions if you are ready for change and success.

We have only been working with Kath for a few months however we can already see that Elemental Solutions will be an asset and investment to our business.. Kath understood our needs with quick and decisive action towards mitigating our pain points. I look forward to working together for many months to come and building a great business relationship.`

We decided to engage with Elemental Solutions as Katherine was recommended by a friend. We really needed a new direction with taking the business forward and growing the team to keep up with the workload. The process since starting has been excellent, Marko and I have had a huge amount of practical advice and narrowed our focus on the areas that needed improvement within the business, everything from managing a team, to better productivity, profitability and work life balance. We can confidently say since having the coaching it has helped us streamline our goals that we are striving towards, we have already achieved quite a few of them and that’s because of the support and guidance of Katherine. We are well on our journey to start transitioning out of working in the business to working on the business.

I thought I’d only need her services for a few months but now into my 4th year I could not imagine not having Katherine involved in my life and business – she’s like my silent partner. Every week I learn something new and become a better builder. But most importantly of all I am a happy builder.

I was introduced to Kathy while undertaking in house training with the HIA association. Kathy’s long-term experience in the building industry and down to earth attitude is a major attribute to why I chose to engage her as a business coach. In our time together we have worked together to formulate and implement various business strategies whilst continuously collaborating, she continues to provide me motivation and encouragement to take the business to the next growth stage. On top of Kathy’s professional experience she provides honesty and a good laugh always leaving you with smiles.

I was introduced to Kath during a HIA small business coaching group that I was a part of for a few months. I found Kath to be very personable and real with her expertise. Her knowledge in the construction industry is fantastic and the way that she shares her expertise is completed in a professional down to earth manner. As a husband and wife team of a growing business, -help was required to assist us to work together but also navigate the growth of the business which is why we engaged Kaths one on one service. Her gently guiding hand has assisted us tremendously to set and hit our goals personally and for our business. We are very grateful to have Kaths coaching and Elemental Solutions teams care. An invaluable part of our business.

I have, and am, learning so much from you. You have so much passion plus a wealth of information to share. I am so inspired by your business knowledge and expertise.
I have really enjoyed working with you. You certainly provided me with some really useful strategies. I will continue putting them into place in my presentations, one on one meetings and following up on contacts I have made.

I credit Kath and the Elemental team with completely turning our business around. We went from focusing on smaller works (like pergolas/decks) and barely making enough money to cover business running costs, to focusing on new builds and extensions, and now turning over enough money to allow me to move away from my previous profession to work in our business alongside Aaron and we’ve also just taken on another apprentice.
We certainly couldn’t have done it [company rebrand] without you. When I take a moment to look back at what we’ve achieved over the last 12 months – I can’t quite believe it, and it explains why we’re both in desperate need of a break I think! Thank you so much for your guidance to date. I look forward to bigger and better things in 2016 under the expert guidance of Elemental Solutions.

Since we have been working with Elemental Solutions as our Marketing Gurus, we have seen our numbers grow and the standard of business has improved, making for more successful and happier guys, and more happier and content Franchisors. I can sell and support the fencing businesses, I just need Elemental Solutions to make my job easier

Katherine has turned my approach to business on its ear. I always thought I was doing okay but was always unrewarded and unsatisfied with my results. With Katherine’s dedicated coaching I now understand what I was lacking as a businessman, an entrepreneur and a person. And I now have the tools and coaching to improve my problem areas.
Katherine’s coaching had an immediate effect on the bottom line of my business with turnover tripling and profit doubling in just two months. We are now working together to build an amazing business.
I see Katherine as a coach, a mentor, a senior team member and friend. I have referred other businesspeople to Katherine in the past and I will continue to do so in the future.

We didn’t have the money to pay for an undelivered promise. Truth be told, we didn’t have the money to pay for our coach at all, ironically, this became one of the biggest arguments for the coach. We’d been running a business with a turnover of $500,000.00 pa for three years and we had no money and we were exhausted. We knew that if we continued on this path we would be broke and broken.
Katherine has helped us to transform our business and our lives. I can honestly say that if we didn’t have her meeting with us, keeping us accountable and helping us move forward we would have in hindsight closed up our business within the month. I now know that the skills and knowledge she is imparting to us will carry us for our whole lives and that owning a business has never been easier or more exciting. I look to the future with gusto thanks to Katherine and I absolutely insist on having her there by my side as we continue to grow and build our wildest business.

The improvement in and on our business is fantastic! We have staff interactions on all levels and monthly staff meetings. Profit up. Free time for Me. Ok I’ll say it!!! I wish I had done this 10 years ago. But then I may not have had the wonderful coach that I have. Katherine is a great support for us both personally and in the business.

We are really enjoying having the opportunity to have you as our coach. In a short time you have so ably assisted us to move our businesses from being stagnant to vital. The results of the processes and actions you have encouraged have brought about a profound change to the growth of the businesses both in sales, marketing and management techniques. We are very grateful to have benefited from your business insight, industry knowledge and technical expertise.
Thank you for your ability to involve us all in the path to success.

Before we began with Katherine we were floundering. We were at a point that we needed some help to take us to the next level and to get a knowing of our financials, how to go about growing the business and identify where we were headed.
Immediately when I met my coach, I knew that she was she was right for me and could help my business. I had no idea though it would have been this amazing working with Kath and the proof is in our growth.
The business is now growing at a rapid rate of knots and we are reducing our level of risk by no longer being too dependent on one client. We now have about 45 clients which is awesome.
We are next planning to take the business internationally and have grown from 2 to 14 staff in 8 months, so we are obviously doing something right thanks to Katherine!
Some six months on from commencing with Action I am completely confident and convinced that our current business (and the three other start ups I have planned) will become hugely successful as I had once envisioned.
This past week alone, it has occurred to me that in one of our most stressful weeks, we (the team) are actually not stressed and have worked in what has been a planned, co-ordinated, systematic and calm manner. This is a ‘drastic’ improvement compared to past week to week running of our business and entirely a reflection of the direction, guidance, planning and support of our Action Coach. Katherine is not just our business coach, I often find myself referring to her as my most valued senior management executive!
Precisely, 150% increase on booking fee, 50% increase on gift fees, double the weddings & 50% more bookings than last year. However more importantly, a happy, supportive team that shares our vision and values. Thank you for the Action Coach Experience.
