I am so grateful for my time working with Ellie, she has helped to reignite my passion for our business, she has reminded me of my strengths and has helped to rebuild my confidence so that I can continue to grow Hands on Wildlife. I think most people seek business advice or mentors when they are just starting, but it is important to recognize that mentorship and coaching is vital at all stages of a business. If you want a business coach who will meet you where you are at while pushing you to go further than you ever expected, than Ellie Corely Coaching is the place for you.When we started Hands on Wildlife 11 years ago, just like many small business owners, we had huge dreams and goals. We could easily see the steps we needed to take to start our business and Hands on Wildlife quickly grew and started to evolve just like we had envisioned. However, despite our success, we found ourselves almost drowning in the success that we had created. We were so busy working IN our business that we were failing to work ON our business. I was experiencing burn out, and not even realizing it. Some of those lofty dreams that we could so clearly see that the beginning now felt very far away and almost impossible to achieve. I was desperately seeking a business mentor, but most business advisors just did not get our business, we do not fit in any boxes. Luckily, our paths crossed with Ellie Corley Coaching.Through a very targeted one on one business coaching plan with Ellie Corley, we were able to rediscover our dreams and we developed a very specific plan to guide our vision and achieve our goal. The individual online business coaching sessions kept me motivated and held me accountable to spend the time to work ON our business rather than in it. The clear goals set prior to each coaching session allowed me to stay focused. Ellie was able to gently guide me as I discovered why I was fearful of some the steps that needed to be taken and helped me to find ways to tackle these steps with understanding and confidence.I went into the coaching sessions with a specific project and goal that I wanted to see take off. Certainly, that project is much further along than it has ever been, and we have a clear plan and tools in place as a result of our time with Ellie. What I never anticipated, was how much the coaching has helped our existing business grow. Through six, hour long coaching sessions, our existing business has seen a 10% growth in revenue. We have promoted our casual employee to permanent part time, and while we are busier than we ever have been, I have finally found the time to focus and work ON our business rather than in it. Ellie quickly determined what coaching style worked best to keep me motivated, and she knew what questions to ask and tasks to set to keep me on track. I have a better understanding of why I may be hesitating to do certain tasks, and I now feel confident that I have tools to overcome that hesitation. On a personal level, Ellie provided me with tools to manage stress and find gratitude, and that has certainly allowed me to be a better business owner and person.

I went to Ellie six months ago having recently expanded my team and being run off my feet with work, but making less money than before. Not only did Ellie help me put simple systems and strategies in place to better manage my team and my time but she helped me to get really clear about my vision for the business and why I’m doing it. This has given both me and my team a big boost in morale and we are producing much better work as a result and feel more focussed and passionate about what we’re doing. Having previously only relied on word-of-mouth for new work, Ellie has given me extensive advice and guidance in marketing and has helped me with really simple and effective strategies to attract exactly the type of projects I want, and getting clear on personal branding. My profit has steadily increased each month too and continues to grow.What I love about my coaching experience with Ellie is that it’s not just focused on how my business is performing, but whether I’m reaching my personal goals too and what my work/life balance looks like. This is really important to me as not just a business owner but a busy mum of three. I’ve really benefited from the accountability of having Ellie ‘on my team’ and wouldn’t have achieved what I have in the last six months without her backup. She gives me a gentle kick-up-the-butt when needed to step me out of my comfort zone or out of the limitations I put on myself, and she reminds me to congratulate myself when I’ve reached my goals.I’m so grateful for Ellie’s support, advice, expertise and encouragement and recommend her for anyone wanting to bring their business to it’s best and live your best life at the same time.

What can I say but only wonderful things about the work Ellie has done with me rolling out my national GREEN Community Gardens Coaching Program. I have had many moments of overwhelm, brain fog, and confusion with direction. Ellie has always pulled me back and worked with me to sort things out. She is calm, direct, kind, and only wants to see you succeed. Ellie has a heart of gold but doesn't beat around the bush and makes you accountable. If you wish to grow and are not afraid of working hard and taking constructive feedback, go and have a chat with Ellie; you won't be disappointed if you do the work. Urban Rewild" is forever grateful."

After 11 years my physiotherapy business had grown organically to a point where I was beginning to feel stressed that I was losing control. Having had no formal training in business development or HR I knew that I needed someone to help me create structure within the business. Ellie has in three months effectively helped me understand and create a strategic vision and business plan to further develop and protect my business over the next 5-10 years. Ellie has provided leadership coaching in HR management to invigorate our staff, client relationship development and methods of review to allow for data driven accountability. Ellie is a delight to learn from and I feel back on track
