Starting a business can feel exciting, but let’s be honest—it can also feel overwhelming, confusing, and even lonely at times. That’s where I come in. At CIG Business Developments, you’ll have access to a mentoring program that’s completely tailored to you—your goals, your challenges, and your dreams.


I understand that every entrepreneur’s journey is unique, and that’s why I take the time to really get to know you and what your business needs. Together, we’ll develop a business plan using a proven system that’s flexible enough to align with your vision and specific goals. Whether you’re just getting started, working to launch your idea, or feeling stuck in a particular area, I’m here to guide you through it all with care and practical advice.


This isn’t a one-size-fits-all program—it’s your program. I’ll be right by your side, offering support, encouragement, and actionable steps to help you build the business you’ve been dreaming of, all at a price that won’t add to your stress. Let’s take that next step together—I’m ready when you are.

Business coaching is all about helping you succeed in your business journey. Think of it as having a trusted partner who’s there to guide you, give you clarity, and help you overcome challenges. Together, we’ll focus on your goals and create a plan to achieve them, step by step. You don’t have to navigate the ups and downs of business alone—I’m here to support you.

All business courses are offered in partnership with Te Wananga o Aotearoa and are conducted through the lens of Māori tikanga and traditions. This unique approach provides a distinct perspective on the content, examining all aspects of business in a manner that genuinely respects and incorporates the bi-cultural and multi-cultural practices of New Zealand and its people.

First, you will determine which course best fits your needs, and then we can have a conversation. Please review the course details thoroughly and reach out to me using the form on the course page. I will call you to ensure that your chosen course aligns with your goals and that you meet the eligibility criteria. Additionally, I'll guide you through the enrolment process on the Te Wananga o Aotearoa website. If you prefer, I can also assist you directly with this process. (NOTE: Courses are only available to New Zealand Permanent Residents and Citizens.)

I truly care about your success. My approach is personal, practical, and focused on results that matter to you. I combine my experience with an understanding of what it feels like to face challenges in business, so every step we take together is designed to make your journey smoother and more rewarding.

Our sessions are like conversations with purpose. We’ll meet—either online or in person—and dive into what’s happening in your business and how I can help. Each session is focused on you: your challenges, your goals, and your vision. I’ll give you actionable advice, help you stay on track, and celebrate your wins with you. Sessions usually last about an hour, but I’m always flexible to meet your needs.

It’s for you if you’re ready to take your business to the next level, or even if you’re just starting out and feeling a bit unsure about where to begin. Whether you want to grow, pivot, or just figure out your next steps, coaching gives you the clarity and confidence to move forward.

In my courses, you’ll learn practical, real-world skills that you can apply right away. Whether it’s creating a business plan, building a marketing strategy, or managing your finances, I’ll make sure you understand the “why” behind everything. I want you to leave feeling empowered and ready to take action—not overwhelmed with theory.

You can learn at your own pace, from the comfort of your home, through the Zoom platform. I’ve made the courses interactive and engaging, with videos, worksheets, and resources that are easy to follow. If you ever have questions, I’m just a message away, and I offer live Q&A sessions to connect directly with you.

Coaching gives you focus, confidence, and a clear path forward. I’ll help you prioritize what matters most and make the most of your time and energy. You’ll gain a partner who believes in you and your vision—and who’s ready to celebrate your wins and work through the tough spots with you.

I understand that cost can be a concern, which is why I offer flexible packages tailored to your needs and budget. Whether you're seeking a single session to address a specific challenge or ongoing support, we’ll find the right fit for you. Let’s discuss your requirements, and I’ll help you choose the best option. The initial session is a complimentary 20-minute consultation to assess your needs. Subsequent one-hour sessions are priced at $150.00 each. If you require longer sessions, I also have special deals available to accommodate individual needs.

Absolutely! I’m excited to share resources to help you get started. On my website, you'll find free blog posts, guides, and webinars—all primarily linking back to my YouTube channel, which offers valuable advice and tips for small business owners. These resources are designed to give you a glimpse of what it’s like to work with me and provide immediate value. Check them out and discover how they can assist you!

Starting is easy! Just reach out to me, and we’ll chat about where you’re at and what you’re looking for. If you’re ready to dive in, you can sign up for a course or a coaching session directly on my website, by contacting me about which course interests you.
