ABOUT

An interview with Rory Smyth

What did you do before you were a coach?

I worked in a number a different businesses, in different industries in a number of different countries around the world, predominantly in a Sales and Business Development role.   I have worked at Senior and Board level in professional sport, food and beverage, franchising, tourism and leisure and professional services. 

Why did you become an ActionCOACH?

I was always looking to have my own consultancy business but I also knew that starting a business is not easy and that I would need help with developing the systems and processes required.  After much research, I decided that ActionCOACH was the brand that was the best fit for me.  The ActionCOACH 14 Points of Culture resonate very strongly with me and I believed that joining ActionCOACH was going to provide me with the best opportunity to create a successful coaching business.

Why should a business work with you?

I am proud to say that I have been awarded the ActionCOACH EMEA Business Coach of the Year on 4 occasions and a number of my clients have won Industry and National Awards for the businesses.  Coaching WORKS.

Every great performer, whether it is an elite athlete, performing athlete or business legend, is surrounded by coaches and advisors.

As the world of business moves faster and gets more competitive, it is difficult to keep up with both the changes in your industry as well as the innovations in sales, marketing and management strategies.

Having a Business Coach isn’t an unneeded luxury, it is a necessity your business must have. Accountability is one of the greatest strengths of working with a Business Coach. It’s difficult to get an objective answer from yourself about your business, but your Business Coach will always tell you the truth, even if you don’t want to hear it.

Why attend events?

If you attend one of my events, my promise is that you will leave with a clearer picture of how to achieve what it is you want from your business- whether it is more money, more time or a more productive team.

My events are full of case studies of how my clients have achieved and how you can apply their learnings to your business
