What Clients Have Said About Us
Claire led a five-day workshop for our group, working across multiple brands. Her ability to consistently draw out meaningful insights and actionable outcomes from each team, day after day, was truly impressive
Josh Hancock, CMO, The Australian Fitness Group
This workshop was the best one I ever had about how to make our startup a success. Claire showed profound knowledge about entrepreneurship and excellent coaching and communication skills. On all topics within strategy, execution, people and financials she was able to guide and consult us in an very effective and open way. This was especially in our industry with new business models ... quite challenging. We loved to work with her and would do it again.
Heiko Franssen, CEO, brainbot technologies
The diverse group greatly benefited from attending the Scaling Up strategy sessions, thanks to the excellent facilitation. The sessions were well-structured, with a strong focus on outcomes, ensuring that each participant contributed meaningfully. The collaborative approach fostered an environment where team members worked together effectively, sharing insights and aligning on key objectives for future growth.
Steven Goltman, CEO, The Australian Fitness Group
Claire demonstrated her ability to guide our early-stage venture teams through the often tumultuous journey of growth. Her ability to identify potential roadblocks and obstacles helped our startups avoid costly mistakes, and her guidance was instrumental in helping our portfolio companies achieve significant growth milestones. Overall, I would highly recommend Claire to any startup or entrepreneur looking to build and scale their business. She is an incredibly strong coach and a valuable asset to any incubator or accelerator program.

Claire is a great facilitator. Instead of only facilitating the sessions as a moderator, she enables the team deep-dive into an entire strategy evaluation with a clear red line unfolding all critical areas for early-stage business build-up: Strategy, Team, Financials and Execution.

What Clients Say About Scaling Up
Mastering the Rockefeller Habits continues to be the best and most practical
business book I have ever read. It is the foundation on which our enterprises have been built. Verne, thank you.
Dr. Steven Hotze CEO, Hotze Enterprises
We are a huge disciple of your book and system for planning. We incorporated the one-page strategic plan about three years ago and use it as our platform for all of our planning across 5 business lines and corporately. We have married up your book with Getting Things Done by David Allen and Who by Geoff Smart. We utilize the scorecard system in Who to assign accountability to the plan and utilize the project plan in GTD to assign the next three action steps per Rock.
Jon Kinning COO and Owner, RK Mechanical, Inc
Learning the Rockefeller Habits is the single best thing we have done as a company. It has led to complete company alignment, faster learning, and numerous breakthroughs. More importantly, the process has allowed us to thrive despite being in an industry that has fallen almost 70% in the last number of years. I consider it a must for any leadership team looking to grow its business.
Jeff Booth CEO, BuildDirect
We recently sold our business to private equity. It was unexpected, but we realized selling a business is often not on your timeline but on the market's timeline. I know "you probably hear this a lot, but I specifically wanted to let you know I think one of the reasons they felt very good about our organization was the fact that we have implemented your habits. From the daily huddles to the one-page plan, I truly feel the disciplined culture we have formed around the Rockefeller Habits helped us achieve the top 10% of multiples in our industry on the sale!
