How We Work

We offer monthly support packages tailored to your specific needs. A typical start-up package would offer 20 hours per month of support over three monthly cycles with:

  • a workshop to understand where you are and what you need. We leave with a clear action plan for the month ahead and details of what both you and BBM need to get done.
  • then we tackle our tasks and will engage telephonically and by email to get more information, some important documents, and of course get your input on decisions. We check progress on the tasks assigned to each of us.
  • then we have a month-end review followed by planning for the following month.

After the initial three month cycle, we offer ongoing business mentoring with hands-on support and involvement or can scale down to a lighter advice and support package.

“Over the last few months I have felt so privileged to have Mel, and her partner Alison,  to keep me on the straight and narrow and to focus my energies on the low lying fruit.  Having a coach who is able to be very direct and has the ability to “talk straight “from an objective viewpoint has been a wonderful experience.  This has given my business more structure and a clear vision moving forward. Our meetings invoke a clear sense of accountability in reporting on the previous months goals and planning a way forward.  This has enabled me to approach the business from a position of strength and not shooting in the dark and following any opportunity “

Mel’s work was absolutely invaluable. She was a great sounding board to my thoughts about the strategic challenges facing the business. She activated plans with great efficiency to enable change in the business. She helped craft the change programme to ensure the people took on board all we were trying to do in resetting the future. 

Her ability to do this was due to the following reasons:

  • Quick thinking and an ability to get to understand what the key levers were in delivering the Banking product to the clients and bankers
  • Clarity of communication to all role players
  • Comfort in her decision making abilities and willingness to support decisions in the face of those reluctant to change
