Are you a business leader,
seeking a CO-PILOT?

With 30 years of business experience, including 22 years running my own ventures,
I understand the stress, doubt and loneliness business leaders face, together with the question of where to focus energy.

I'm Rich Poole and I provide personalised support to help execs, partners & owners find balance, make sound decisions and achieve success.  Whether it's an immediate pain point that you need resolving to take you & your business forward, I'll work together with an individual or company/firm strategically and also through to delivery if necessary.  By having a CO-PILOT in the trenches on an ongoing basis as a sounding board, I'll be there.

Since being fortunate to exit our business nearly 10 years ago to a Fortune 500 company, during the past 7 years I've worked alongside more than 150 owners, executives, partners & teams across various industries, offering a strategic CO-PILOT approach, focused on tangible business results, as well as personal growth.

Stress doesn’t come from hard work. Stress primarily comes from not taking action over something that you can have some control over.
