Gerry is the first person who told me the truth about my business rather than what I wanted to hear. business coaching in London with Gerry was uncomfortable for a fortnight and worth every penny since.

-
01
A conversation first
Thirty minutes, no charge, no pitch. You describe where the business is stuck and Gerry tells you honestly whether he is the right person for it.
-
02
A diagnosis, not a guess
We find the one constraint holding the other three pillars back. Most businesses are working on the wrong problem and do not know it.
-
03
The work itself
Sales, People, Systems and Processes, installed in the order your business actually needs them, either as ongoing coaching or as the 12 Week Programme.
-
04
You take it from there
The point is a business that runs without Gerry in it, and eventually without you in every part of it either.
What business coaching in London changes
Margin, not just revenue
Growth that shows up in what the business actually keeps, which in a London cost base is the only growth that counts.
A team that stays
People leave unclear roles far more often than they leave for money. Fixing ownership fixes retention.
Your time back
Work stops routing through you, which is the difference between a job and a business.

Business coaching in London: the questions owners ask
Where in London do you meet?
Usually at your offices, since seeing how the business actually operates is worth more than an hour in a meeting room. Gerry is in London most weeks, so central and north London are straightforward to arrange.
Do you work in person or online?
Both. Plenty of clients prefer online for the regular sessions and in person for the bigger strategic days. Gerry is flexible on this and it makes no difference to the price.
What size of business do you work with?
Typically businesses between five and fifty people, where there is a team to build structure around but the founder is still the single point of failure. Gerry has also worked with FTSE-listed companies and global energy operators, so larger organisations are not a problem.
What does it cost?
It depends on which service fits and how the business is set up. Book the call and Gerry will give you a straight figure on that call rather than sending a proposal a week later.
Let's find your way through.
A direct conversation about where your business is stuck and what it would take to change that.

Most clients settle into a rhythm of online sessions for the regular work and in-person days for the strategic pieces, where being in the room together actually matters.
