Ask Andy Guile<br />

Hi, My name is Andy Guile and I am the business Duck Herder!<br />

Or if you prefer, the go to coach and trainer for small businesses.<br />

Yes, I am here to help you get your ducks in a row.<br />

The term getting your ducks in a row is all about being in control, being<br />

organised and prepared for whatever life throws at you. Experience has<br />

shown me not everyone in business is in control and sometimes you just find<br />

yourself, really busy, but not getting the results you hoped for. Getting your<br />

ducks in a row helps you build the solid foundations for business growth. It<br />

gives you confidence, the skills and ability to succeed.<br />

Together we will get you back to doing the basics really well, either through<br />

one-to-one coaching or team training and development the aim is the same,<br />

after working with me you will have more free time to spend with friends and<br />

family, but still earn the same or more money.<br />

You will understand your ideal client and stop wasting time chasing the wrong<br />

people.<br />

You will be more confident in yourself and have a better understanding of how<br />

to deal with different personality types and be able to read peoples body<br />

language.<br />

You will be a stronger more confident communicator, a better listener and a<br />

better person.<br />

You will be able to set clear goals on a consistent basis, write effective to do<br />

lists, manage your time effectively and become a productive not busy person.<br />

In all, Life will feel better, you will feel better, and your family will appreciate<br />

the change.<br />

My approach is personal, fun and flexible. And whilst I do have many set<br />

courses available, I am extremely adaptable, and I always customise my<br />

coaching and training around every individual client’s needs.<br />

So, if you are ready to get your ducks in a row, get in touch.<br />
