Business coaching in Melbourne, for owners ready for the next level.
Melbourne rewards businesses that grow, and it's hard on owners who carry all of it. Costs are high, good people are hard to keep, and there's always a competitor ready to take your next client.
Everett Coaching helps Melbourne business owners grow, scale and take the business to the next level. Some come to us when growth has stalled or the pressure is wearing them down. Some because the business still runs through them. Others because it's going well and they want a sharper plan for the next stage. We coach by video, so it fits around your week wherever you are in Melbourne.
Growing a business in Melbourne takes more than hard work.
You've built something real: a team, a client base, a reputation. But the bigger it gets, the more it seems to need you. You're across sales, delivery, hiring and the numbers, and the work that would grow the business keeps getting pushed to next week.
- You're still the bottleneck for decisions, quotes and key clients.
- You've hired good people, but they wait for you before they act.
- Growth has stalled, or it's come at the cost of your margins.
- You're not sure your offer, pricing or messaging still fits the market.
- It's going well, and you want a clear plan to take it further.
The answer is rarely more hours. It's a clearer strategy and a business that runs on its team and systems, so it can grow without taking more of you.
What business owners say.
Working with Rich has been a transformative experience. My understanding of my role, the clarity and sense of purpose I have gained from working with Rich has had a significant impact on me and the business.

What changes.
Time back.
Your week has room for strategy, key clients and a life outside the business.
A team that owns results.
Clear roles and accountability, so decisions get made without you in the room.
A sharper commercial engine.
The right offer, target market, messaging and pricing, so growth comes with healthy margins.
A genuine asset.
A business worth more because it doesn't rely on you, whether you keep it, scale it or one day sell it.
What we work on.
Every business coaching client works through the same eight areas: mindset, wellbeing, strategy and vision, marketing, sales, delivery and operations, finance and people. For many Melbourne owners, the biggest gains sit on the commercial side: who you sell to, what you offer, how you price it and the message that wins the work. We start where the leverage is greatest for you, and work outward.
Who we work with in Melbourne.
Our clients own established businesses with a team, usually one they started. Many run professional services firms, finance and property businesses, trades and construction companies, health practices and specialist service businesses.
We coach owners from the CBD and inner suburbs out to the bayside, eastern, northern and western suburbs. Sessions run by video, so there's no time lost in traffic.

How we work.
Conversation.
A confidential 20-minute call with one of our team. No pressure and no pitch. We work out whether coaching is the right next step.
Diagnose and plan.
We map the real constraints, in the business and in how you lead, and agree a focused plan with clear measures.
Coach and execute.
Three sessions a month by video on Google Meet or Zoom, with support between sessions. Engagements run in 6 or 12 month blocks with no lock-in, just one month's notice.
Tier 1 experience, practical coaching.
We've coached business owners and executives since 2015. Our approach comes from more than a decade of management consulting with tier 1 clients, leading enterprise change, supply chain and technology programs. That's why our coaching is practical: cutting through complexity so you can decide, act and get a result.
Everett Coaching is led by Rich Everett, who holds a Postgraduate Certificate in Organisational and Executive Coaching from Swinburne University of Technology and is a Prosci Certified Change Practitioner. We're based on Victoria's Surf Coast and work with clients across Melbourne, Australia and internationally.

Whatever is holding the business back most. That usually includes strategy, offers, target market, key messaging, pricing, sales, operations, finance, people and your own wellbeing as the owner. We agree the priorities early and measure progress against them.
Established businesses with a team, led by an owner who wants to grow, scale and take the business to the next level. We work across multiple industries: professional services firms, finance and property businesses, trades and construction companies, health practices and specialist service businesses. We coach owners who are stretched, businesses that still depend on them too much, and businesses that are going well and want support for the next stage. Coaching isn't the right fit for a business still finding its first clients.
We work in 6 or 12 month blocks. We meet three times a month, with support between sessions. There's no lock-in, just one month's notice. You stay because it's working.
Yes. We coach GMs, executive directors and c-suite leaders by video through our executive coaching, with the same practical, results-focused approach.
