Before we met Drue we were ready to sell our business – we were burnt out. We had no time for ourselves, and felt enslaved to our business. Since meeting Drue and completing 4Front’s Go4Growth Coaching Program, we have been totally energised. We’ve made some brave People decisions, we now have a Strategy that we can begin executing on, and we have started a new arm of our business venturing into product design. We can’t thank Drue enough for what he has been able to help us achieve in such a short time with some simple, practical tools and some genuine care.

Before we started 4Front’s Go4Growth Coaching Program, we didn’t know what we really wanted. We have now realised, through Drue’s guidance that we don’t want to grow our top line, but rather consolidate what we have an grow our bottom line by focussing on quality projects. We have also started working on our leadership skills more, and we look forward to working with Drue to diver even deeper into what’s possible in our business.

Drue facilitated a Strategy Day for our Firm to assist in getting the ‘Rubber to meet the Road’ on our One-page Strategic Plan. We had been to a Scaling Up workshop and whilst we found that very beneficial we quickly realized that we needed a deeper dive to help us understand some the key components of the document, and our Strategy in general. Drue’s workshop and subsequent sessions have helped us reinforce the fact that we need to keep the ‘main thing, the main thing’ by aligning our short and medium term initiatives and activities to our longer term goal.
