Chris Ball
Having held senior positions in very large companies then starting two of my own businesses over the last 25 years. I’m not your typical business coach or consultant; I’m your expert navigator (or Guide by Your Side) helping you and your teams to conquer new ideas, tackling your business challenges and achieving long lasting, sustainable growth. From increasing revenue’s and profit’s to developing leadership focus, I’ll be by your side every single step of the way.
I don’t have a one-size-fits-all approach or tell you what to do—it’s YOUR business and YOUR vision, I’ll help you to bring it to life. With years of experience in business transformation, (growing, scaling and exiting), I guide you up your business mountain, helping you to chart a course for continued success, not just for you but for your teams and your legacy.
My Specialities:
Family Businesses or Businesses with large teams
Loves a good challenge and a natural problem solver, medicine man or healer.
Team building, communication and getting people to own their roles.
Spotting opportunities and learning how to seize them

My Key Value: Be Brave
Step out of your comfort zone, play the game, embrace change, and don’t be afraid to push your limits. Be brave, take chances, and remember—being true to yourself is the ultimate success.
Jane Gilchrist
My background is in law, where I spent over two decades in senior leadership roles across corporate and owner-managed businesses. Over time, my work expanded beyond professional services into manufacturing and other industries, supporting leaders to strengthen both people and operational performance. I take a holistic approach, helping businesses align culture, leadership and systems so that strategy is not only defined but delivered. What drives me most is making a tangible difference — seeing businesses thrive because their people do.
From strategy to action. We make sure the strategic plan is not just written but lived, through consistent leadership behaviours and clear accountability. I help emerging leaders build the confidence and skills to take ownership and deliver results.
My Specialities:
Strategic clarity and execution
Strengths-based leadership and development
Succession and transition planning
Culture and engagement frameworks
Communication and accountability from board to team
My Key Value: Clarity
Clarity before complexity, because alignment creates progress.
Courage in conversation, because growth needs honesty.
Growth through people, because business strength depends on leadership strength.
Making a difference, because success is about impact, not just outcomes.
Legacy thinking, because real success is built to last.
