CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

"Working with Strata has been beneficial for us to identify where we can improve, set goals and develop core values that everyone in the company are encouraged to embrace and work on. These remind us of what our priorities are and why we are in business. We have used Adrian’s leadership training services throughout the company as a way to upskill our people and equip them with the tools they need to progress within the organisation and we have really seen the benefit of doing that.

Sometimes we can’t see the wood for the trees because we are so busy just keeping things going. Having Adrian come in with his wide experience and business expertise is a great way to gain an independent assessment of your business, your ability and management style and to identify key areas where you can upskill, add value and make improvements. Give it a go, try it and see if its works for you.

​

Adrian is an excellent business mentor and advisor. He has the ability to listen carefully, identify the key issues, then channel your emotions in the right direction and get you back on track."

- David Howard / CEO Construction Contracts Ltd (CCL)

"Our biggest hesitation in using Adrian’s service was that we just didn’t know what we didn’t know – how would this work, would it make a difference, would the cost be justified – although we had been in business for a number of years we had never used anyone like Adrian before. Through Adrian we discovered that we didn’t understand our business anywhere near as much as we thought we did. There were gaps in our knowledge that were holding us back from being the business we wanted to be. Adrian’s service was the key to us unlocking our potential and without wanting to sound like a TV advert – Adrian empowered us!


After consulting with Adrian we made massive, and I mean massive changes to the way we did business, and it a relatively quick time too! We went from looking at shutting our doors to turning into an Award winning business that is profitable and employs 26 people. We began a raft of changes that included a different way of selling, implementing simple marketing techniques, systemsing the business, pulling a whole lot of different levers that we hadn’t properly considered, changing our uniform and our branding to name just a few. It’s not exaggerating to say using Adrian’s service changed the way we do business dramatically.

 

The process to get there was hard and required some serious reflection. The changes, and end outcomes were really enjoyable though. Adrian has a way of making you get to the heart of the matter, no bullshit. Adrian is a straight shooter, there is no where to hide when you use his service. He will hold you to account for what you said you would do – and I think this was a big reason for our success. If you aren’t sleeping at night because you are worried about cashflows, customers, marketing, the future – then if you combine Adrian’s service and some hard work you will feel in control of your business and sleep will come easy!
 

When we were looking for someone to assist us I asked for someone blunt, hard hitting who would not go easy on us – Adrian delivered 200% on that."

- Colleen Upton / GM Hutt Gass and Plumbing

"Thanks to Strata we have a clear focus on systems and processes and have confidence in expanding our business using the right tools. With Adrian's support we now have another member of our team keeping an eye on what we are doing which gives confidence to decision making. I found that old habits die hard. Even with regular coaching I sometimes reverted to the old ways of doing things. Adrian took me back to what we had agreed was the right track. Have the discussion. You will be surprised with the results."
