HOW COACHING WORKS
Pure business coaching is a waste of money.
Today, the term "business coach" just means "generic, unqualified consultant". Would you prefer something different?

The Procern [ARCHIVE]
Originally published on the Shirlaws Business Coaching Blog, 2007-2010. One of the things I love about being a business coach is that I can spend a lot of time working with staff on the ground for a business. I can support those who really know what’s going on, provide them with frameworks and, on occasion, advise them…
Monthly Update October 2019
For a change, I’ll keep this one brief. (You can read last month’s update here; next month’s here.) Family We are now (at the end of October, 2019) three months in to our European travels with our (now) 7 month old daughter. Importantly, we are now at the end of the main trip which also…
The Big Picture Shows a Colourful Future [ARCHIVE]
Originally published on the Shirlaws Business Coaching Blog, 2007-2010. I must have been about fourteen when I got sick of having my pens stolen out of my schoolbag, and started carrying them around in my top (read: geek) pocket. What started as function quickly evolved to my own version of style, and it didn’t take…
Monthly Update September 2019
Maybe I should be writing October’s already? (You can read last month’s update here; next month’s here.) Family If you’re just joining in, my beautiful wife and I took our (then) 4 month old daughter ‘on the road’ in August. She spent the whole of September outside of Australia, turning 6 months old on the…
Are You Failing by Doing the Right Thing? [ARCHIVE]
Originally published on the Shirlaws Business Coaching Blog, 2007-2010. I’m a big fan of the TV show House (that’s House M.D. for my US cousins). There was a great line on the show a few weeks ago, surprisingly not directed at the main character, about the difference between “saving patient lives” and “doing the right thing”. In other words, sometimes in a…
Where do you store your possessions for long term travel?
I spend a lot of time in digital nomad and long term travel communities (mostly online … because most of us are moving around regularly). One of the most common questions (that isn’t tax related) is “Where do you keep your stuff while you’re gone?” One school of thought is to donate everything you’re not…

SHAMELESS PRAISE
Some business people share "endorsements", "testimonials", or "what people are saying". Me? I'm shameless - I love being praised, and I love sharing the love.
“The value that Jacob added to our business is twofold. He lives the bigger game bringing a strong strategic perspective together with the ability to build process and structure to support the implementation of the strategy. Secondly his energy – he is always happy, always sees the positive and always happy to get his sleeves rolled up and get stuck in. He is a real asset to any business that has a passion to grow and make a difference.”
Juliet Turnbull,

“Jacob’s energy is boundless and his coaching capability immense. He is also a man of many talents. He was instrumental in devising and introducing our new newsletter across the business which has now touched several hundred of my clients and enabled me to connect with new friends. I value Jacob for the positive difference he has made for my business.”
Jim Henderson, Management Consultant,
Harrison James Partnership
“Jacob’s business insights and experiences are world-class. Great facilitator and invaluable as a coach.”
Jenny Vandyke, Principal Consultant,
Zumbara Consulting
“His motivation and dedication are second to none and his personal and communication skills are really superb. I would recommend Jacob to anyone who wants to have absolute confidence that things – and the right things – will get done; and have a good time doing it.
Our only complaints remain his choice of jokes and ties.”
John Rosling, CEO,
