M&A Strategy

“Whenever you see a successful business, someone once made a courageous decision.”

Our Approach

Leaving a legacy

Every day, you’re crafting your legacy—not with money, but with the impact you make on others. True wealth lies in health, integrity, and connections that stand the test of time.

Your reputation and integrity are priceless; they can be built over decades and lost in moments.

Your legacy isn’t etched in stone but woven into lives. What you leave behind isn’t for yourself; it’s for the generations that follow. Make choices that enrich lives, and your legacy will endure.

“Our impact on the lives of other people is our legacy”

“You can have a great business now and money when you decide to exit. Or you can work hard till the bitter end and have nothing to show for it”

Team Coaching for Strategic Leaders

"If you are serious about performance and achieving tangible results, these consultants should be your first port of call. Their expertise in business strategy and people strategy was exceptional.

Bella & Peter took the time to understand our business and the outcomes the business wanted, with in depth commercial acumen and industry knowledge. Rated highest amongst the external consultants we partnered with, we achieved remarkable success through their Team Coaching Approach.

The value and expertise they brought to our senior leaders and our business was second to none."”

Leadership Development Coaching

"As a result of my coaching programme, I was successful in my application for a senior leadership role.

My coach Bella helped me to progress from my existing senior management role to the next level of strategic leadership. She was a pleasure to work with - engaged and friendly but also firm and challenging. She started working with me at the lowest point of my professional career when I felt I had reached a glass ceiling and my organisation suggested I try executive coaching.

She worked with me to identify issues and suggested a range of practical ways in which to deal with them. Within 6 months she had helped me build my resilience and find a renewed energy, which was noticed not just by my colleagues but also friends and family."”

From Employee to Entrepreneur

"I achieved big career milestones as a result of my coaching programme. I was stuck in a bit of a rut but working with my coach made me see I had options.

I built my confidence to be brave and go out on my own to set up my own business, within a year I had doubled my annual income.

During coaching, I saw that it was ok to take risks, that you would always learn something, even if it didn’t pay off. Bella put me at ease quickly, I was able to open up and we built a strong level of trust. I recognised a trend of behaviours within my control and I saw I could make the change. We built multiple business plans that were well thought out – I realised this is a journey, just take one step at a time.

Three years later, I can see I had so much experience and a passion for the industry I successfully launched my business in. I trusted my coach and the process of coaching, and it paid off."”

The success of a business hinges on the performance of its people, which is ultimately shaped by its leaders. Every action or inaction from leadership sends a message about what truly matters.

Employees take their cues from a leader’s behaviour, not just their words. By setting a consistent standard, leaders reinforce the values they wish to see reflected across the organisation.

Strong leaders proactively shape the business, shifting from crisis management to sustainable, strategic growth.

“What you permit you promote”

Anytime the majority of the people behave in a certain way, the majority of the time, the problem is not the people. It is the system and your leaders need to own that.

Systems run the business and people run the systems. A bad system will beat good people every time.

Consistent alignment of internal processes and people capabilities with your customer value proposition is always the core to aligning your systems.

“Every system is perfectly aligned to deliver the results you are getting”

Shareholder value isn’t a strategy—it’s the outcome of serving your core stakeholders: employees, customers, and the quality of your products or services. Too often, business valuation stops at numbers, but real value begins with people.

No one wakes up driven by shareholder returns. Instead, employees find meaning in creating impact, and customers reward that impact with loyalty. Money follows when value is created for others.

Put your customers first, employees second, and shareholders third. Happy employees lead to satisfied customers, and together, they drive shareholder value as a natural result.

“There are only 3 things to measure in business: employee engagement, customer satisfaction and cash”.
