Coaching/Mentoring
Being in business is one of the most creative, interesting and rewarding endeavors you can undertake.
But to succeed in business today you have to be at your best. Being the best in your chosen business isn't only about having the right product/service, the right price, a top-notch sales/marketing plan and an Internet e-marketing and social networking strategy.
What separates the winners from the rest of the pack is a positive attitude and personal leadership. It’s about being your best. It's about your spirit and belief in yourself and your own creative abilities. It’s about being up for it, everyday.
If you feel that you're not being your best and would like some help getting better results and growing your revenue stream, perhaps we should chat.

Inspirational Speaking
Business isn’t just about the bottom line. It’s about the people who make it all happen.
The daily pressure is relentless. It's not difficult to fall victim to the negativity and cynicism. You can get worn down and lose your ‘can do’ spirit. All this, of course, impacts on individual performance and that of the whole company or unit.
Re- igniting that spirit within others, encouraging them to look for the best within
themselves is at the core of his work.
Drawing on his extensive life and business experience, Drew quickly captures his audience’s attention. Relying on anecdotal evidence and with references to his book The Tug of the Kite his informal, down-to-earth style, he creates an atmosphere and learning environment that truly does foster qualities of authenticity, curiosity and engagement.
These are qualities we all need if we are to respond to the call for heightened creativity and adaptability in a constantly changing, global environment.
