nLIVEn

I have had the pleasure of working with the nLIVEn Team on numerous occasions over the last 15 years. I have also referred aspiring entrepreneurs to use their service as they take the next step to bring their projects to scale. Glen Williams the principal has a huge array of tools that make doing business so much simpler.

Glenn has been terrific to work with over a number of years now. Excellent sounding board, and an innovative thinker. Great to have a fresh perspective.

Glenn and the team have bene fantastic for our business.nLIVEn translates the theory of management into the practice of maturing a business beyond its founders.

I can only say great things about Glenn and his team at nLIVEn. I gained great value form my coaching sessions with Glenn. At the time I was a new major shareholder and Managing Director of my firm. The guidance and advice I received from Glenn was invaluable as I transitioned to this role and I have no doubt it made me a better MD and delivered tangible benefits for the business!

My experience with the support provided by N'Liven was very positive indeed. Well structured, planned sessions always left me with a feeling of achievement as I progressed through the process.

To make change, a shift in thinking is required. Glenn has a natural, non-ambiguous ability to help a business navigate this shift in a way that will be beneficial to their cause and their future self. There is a genuine care and honesty in all of his actions. He excels at remaining neutral, considering all points of view, and then identifying the issue at the core of the matter.

Glen Williams and the team at nLiven help you focus on your values, goals and get the best out of yourself and your team

We’ve been working with nLIVEn since early 2012 to achieve truly breakthrough results. They helped us bring our business back in surplus. With great support from the team at nLIVEn, we’ve been able to upgrade our CRM platform, develop and document our business plan, win several industry awards, implement staff performance reviews, recruit new team members, change our business name and branding, develop and launch new products and services, all whilst improving our margins and growing the underlying value of our business.

More than a trusted advisor, working with nLIVEn has reinvigorated our passion and guided us along the way. They've helped us augment and surpass the original vision upon which our business was founded decades ago.

The team at nLIVEn have been great in helping us establish an office of our global IT Security business in Melbourne. They are highly professional yet consistently personable. We’ve been able to navigate a range of important decisions with greater ease and confidence with though their professional assistance. They are like the business partner you have, when you are not having a business partner. A highly recommended strategic advisor for MDs and CEOs

We’ve really enjoyed working with nLIVEn over the past 18 months. During that time, they’ve fast-tracked the development of our business by helping our team think and work differently. For example, we have successfully migrated our technology platform, reduced our inventory and improved our profitability. Adapting to change with professional help from nLIVEn is enjoyable and fulfilling because it consistently leads to positive outcomes.

As a small business owner I was referred to Glenn Williams by a mutual acquaintance - having considered using a business coach a number of times in the last few years I was glad to have found someone with such a depth of experience. Glenn has an excellent ability of pulling apart problems and piecing together solutions that otherwise seem somewhat insurmountable!

Glenn has a calm determination that helps him get the very best from the people he coaches. He is patient, objective and wise.

“I was at a point where I did not want to get up in the morning and go to work, which was strange - as it was my own successful business. I had no energy. I was feeling lost.nLIVEn’s Professional Partnership Program facilitated a lot of reflection, which got me thinking on a more fundamental and philosophical level. We worked on articulating my dreams into a vision - crystallizing what I am really passionate about. It was an evolving process where some of my original dreams were replaced with a bigger vision.

Fast forward a year and I am happier, engaged with my business again and feel lucky to have my business. During the past year Glenn’s guidance was invaluable when I had a number of unexpected issues arise. Tapping into Glenn’s vast knowledge and experience guided me to learn that these issues were actually a blessing in disguise.

I had tried coaching before, which didn’t work as I had no connection to the coach as I did not respect him, and felt it was just a ‘job’ to him. Glenn has a real passion and interest in coaching, which is second to none. This make him a great resource for executives and entrepreneurs.

If you are open minded and know you can’t do it all alone, the brain power and ideas you can get from other people will prove invaluable. If you are not lucky enough to have such people around you and / or you are looking for an independent and objective point of view, Glenn and the team at nLIVEn would be a really valuable addition to your team.

Anyone who is serious about achieving a big scary decision, taking the next step in their business / career or following their passion would benefit from engaging with nLIVEn. Expect gentleness to encourage reflection, but the kind of firmness that doesn’t allow you to cop out when things get difficult or too hard. ”

Have you found your purpose? ” is a must read for everyone. I love reading your regular blogs Glenn but I must say this is the best one yet – written from your “heart”. I could certainly relate to your experience and think that everyone who reads it will. When I left “employment” I didn’t know what was next – I just knew that things need to change, “now” was the time. Things do fall into place – if you are willing to take that first (little) step. I just wish I had met you and the benefits of business coaching 20 years ago – as I had no guidance in how to start, what to do. Better late than never.

We recommend working with nLIVEn to build and grow your business. We did the 12 month program and enjoyed the process and felt we achieved our objectives.

Glenn has helped us at Real First Aid cement our vision and strategy moving forward. His technique of helping us work through problems as opposed to giving us the answers, has ensured that we are learning to critically analyse all facets of the business and make the best decisions, even when we are not sitting in front of him.

Glenn's counsel gave me the confidence to take calculated risks that helped me build my company into a statewide media business.

He was a great sounding board, but more than that, he got me to trust in my own decision-making and that is a lasting benefit I'll always be grateful for.

Before first meeting with Glenn over 15 years ago, I had a number of disparate business interests and none of them was going anywhere in particular; it was of great concern and frustration because several of them had previously been very successful.

Our film and video duplication businesses had lost traction and we owned a single radio station in regional Queensland, which needed a lot of attention if it was going to flourish. I was concerned how I could properly divide my time.

In personal sessions with Glenn, over a number of months, we worked through the options, and, with his guidance I was able to gain a clearer understanding of the course I had to follow.

Certainly, the business judgements were mine, but Glenn gave me the focus and the confidence to make those calls.

Within a few short years, I built the single radio station to a network of eight commercial stations covering more than 60-percent of Queensland. I doubt this would have been the outcome without Glenn's guidance.

I still seek Glenn's advice on a regular basis 15 years later.

Several years ago, I sold the radio network, but I'm always looking for new business opportunities.

When something looks interesting, the first person I turn to for advice is Glenn Williams.

It doesn't surprise me in the least that he has built nLiven into such a respected company.

Prior to working with nLIVEn, I lacked clarity both personally and somewhat from a business perspective in relation to my future aspirations. The 12 month Professional Partnership Program I undertook provided me with clear insights and skills to challenge myself to achieve new heights in my thinking in both areas. A truly inspirational program resulting in the clarity to confidently and actively plan my future pathway forward, particularly over the past 5 years. I’ve since referred a range of CEO / MD colleagues to nLIVEn and have been thrilled to consistently see similar professional outcomes achieved.

Glenn and I first met at Harvard University where we worked together in several small group activities. I was able to observe and learn from his extraordinary capacity to quickly understand concepts and theoretical models, and to translate their essence into very practical business language. His clarity of thinking is amazing and will enrich any conversation. I recently asked Glenn for a "spot coaching session" to help me move on a project for a multinational client I am working with. Thirty minutes invested with Glenn from nLIVEn proved to be extremely powerful!
