“I have been working with Rob since the start of the year. We’ve been working through his Quick Start Program beginning with SWOT analysis. It has been invaluable to go right back to the basics and tweak my mission, vision, all the way through to implementing business strategies. I highly recommend Rob’s services.”

“After feeling uninspired, frustrated and like I was going around in circles my friend recommend Rob Chiarolli from Grapes to Grange Business Coaching.
I am based in New Zealand, and Rob is in Australia, but hey, it’s a modern world we can make this work!
Rob emailed me to set up a Skype session to discuss my business requirements, and so I could see if we were a good fit. Instantly I felt at ease and confident that my business would be in safe hands. We scheduled our next Skype session, and the rest is history.
I am passionate about my business again, and I now know my Vision, Mission Statement, Values, Niche, Strategies, Ideal Client, and the list goes on. Our Skype sessions are a breeze and making payments via PayPal so easy. The very best part about it all is that I don’t even have to leave my home.
Rob holds me accountable for the goals set at the end of each session, and my dreams are now becoming a reality! Thank you so much, Rob, for your patience, your expertise, for encouraging me every session to push myself out of my comfort zone and believe that I can achieve!

“I have been working with Rob for over a year and was referred to Rob. He has helped me take my business to a new level. While I was successful and growing there were areas of growth I wasn’t sure about. He has provided guidance about formalising employee agreements and complying with various regulations as we have grown. His strong knowledge about the financial and marketing aspects of business have been invaluable, and he has introduced me to other professionals to support all elements of my business. I am looking forward to an ongoing connection with Rob and can highly recommend him to any small business owner who is looking to grow and isn’t totally confident with the steps ahead.”

“Rob brings a wealth of experience to the table as a business coach, it was refreshing speaking to a coach who has runs on the board and with his personable approach is very enjoyable to work with. I have no hesitation in recommending Rob’s services”
Bruce Hewett Managing Director RxConnect International.
“ I have worked with Rob Chiarolli in a variety of sales and marketing related projects over the past 10 years. Most recently Rob worked as a consultant on the development of a 5 year marketing/ business plan for a significant pharmaceutical product which included sales forecasts, sales aids and website content.
Rob’s input was invaluable in helping to successfully establish the product in the market”.
Glenn Brien Marketing Projects Consultant, Directives Enterprises Pty. Ltd.
“When I started a role as an international marketing manager, I met with Rob on a regular basis to help me work through some of the priority issues I was facing trying to get the department functioning more efficiently. I found the opportunity to sound ideas off someone of Rob’s calibre and business experience invaluable”.

“I met Rob with an open mind about what he could offer me. I already have most things that I want but I still knew there were areas that I could improve. Rob was able to easily transition from business to personal to family life where he could offer insight, experience and knowledge.
My original concern was my business, however after looking at my situation it was only a small part of the big picture. I have found each meeting with Rob to be insightful and relevant. I feel I have a new perspective on my situation and Rob has clarified and motivated me on the areas that I need to focus on”.

“Thank you for my Extended Disc Profile (eDISC) and the follow-up consultation. It is amazing how such a simple and easy questionnaire can lead to a report with such insights.
I’ve done other personality profiles in the past but I think eDISC has been the most useful because it focuses, not only on your inherent personality, but also on how to manage yourself and others you deal with in business, so you can optimise your performance.
Most of us enter small business because we are good at our profession but we want control and independence over our work. However, we end up having to deal with so many tasks outside of our expertise, and so many different types of people –clients, suppliers and employees. Having been self-employed for nearly 20 years I think eDISC is really something that every small business person should do if they want to take control of the whole experience.
I expect my eDisc profile will enable me to work more effectively with others and to make better decisions about tasks I take on myself and tasks I delegate to others.”

“I met Rob through my husband; they started the coaching journey together and I joined along the way. Rob took me up in his coaching and adapted his sessions to me and my husband, both as two individuals, and as a couple.
He perfectly understood the stage and the needs of us as a couple, being in a new country and working on how to make this new life a permanent adventure. He saw us through and gave us constant opportunities of self-assessment and constructive criticism. He helped with his professional advice and techniques.
I would recommend Rob to any person that is going through a particular stage of his/ her life or that wants to understand which are the important core values of him/herself. He will definitely provide some good help and boost the confidence that everyone needs to gain in order to go through challenging situations in life.”
