I am an owner manager of a large healthcare business in Whangarei. I was lucky enough to make the acquaintance of Bruce Young in 2010; I say this because Bruce has made a very positive difference to the way our business operates.

His very timely and proactive advice has been of great benefit and continues to be so. Both our financial goals and our future strategic planning have the on-going benefit of his vast business experience and wisdom. Our business is greatly enhanced by our relationship.

Bruce's manner is very professional and his communication is excellent. The on-going benefits of having someone with Bruce’s ability and experience, able to take a global view from outside our business, have been one of the smarter things I have done, and I continue to use his services

"As with many CEO's I had become accustomed by necessity to keeping my own counsel, and often found that Bruce had coaxed relevant information which clarified and quantified issues that other wise may have been dealt with less thoughtfully.

Bruce has the experience and skill to "cut through the crap" to identify the core issues and to motivate a positive result. Having a respected mentor like Bruce also forced me to be focused and accountable for those commitments I had made during our One on One meetings and discussions.

I started working with Bruce in 2005 and value the ongoing advice and counsel Bruce provides me and recommend his services without hesitation to any individual or company looking for a sound independent unbiased and experienced Business Mentor or Advisor.

I continue to use Bruce’s services on various projects from time to time”

Owner, Malcolm Total Logistics, Auckland

We found it very valuable to have someone like Bruce to bounce ideas off, and then to push us with planning and accountability in terms of implementing change. Having the input of someone outside of those working in the business can be very helpful, it helps to clarify the big picture, and to set new goals.

"I started working with Bruce in 2005. It's great to have access to someone with valuable management experience who has a detailed grasp of how my business operates, but has no personal axe to grind. His advice is clear and fresh. He helps me develop a plan of action, which focuses on the important issues. I used Bruce's services until I sold my interests in Greenstone at the end of 2013"

Owner, Greenstone Pictures and Cream Television

“Working with Bruce has helped me to drill down to identify the serious issues in the business and to put together the possible solutions.

Bruce has kept me on track and made me commit to action plans”

I was a new CEO of a publicly listed company undergoing a significant amount of change.

I found Bruce’s business experience and coaching style very valuable.
Because of his experience he was able to outline real examples which were similar to the issues I was working through, this assisted me to think through the required actions, assessing risks and possible outcomes.

At times managing a complex organisation requires the CEO to step away from day to day problem solving, to address the important strategic issues. Bruce’s candid but friendly approach ensured I didn’t lose sight of the key issues and my role in addressing these.

Malcolm Walkinshaw
CEO
POD International, Auckland, New Zealand

As a new General Manager it is very reassuring to know that I have someone working for me, and only me. Bruce Young provides commercial clarity and excellent advice where required, allowing me to express my thoughts and ideas on many different issues. I leave our meetings feeling more confident in my own abilities and I am gaining an understanding of my management style. I leave our meetings feeling positive and energised, to attack the challenges which lie ahead.
