“I advise on issues I have actual experience in, not just stuff that I’ve read about in books and blogs. This guarantees that I have valuable perspectives and insights to add to my clients’ own experiences.”

Get started now with our free diagnostic tools

Collecting real data is the best way to start any initiative. To collect the right data in the easiest way, PEPL has partnered with Mindshop to give you access to the free diagnostics below.

Using these diagnostics before a session will guide planning and ensure data-driven decisions are made. If the session involves other members of your team, we recommend all participants complete the same diagnostic, so that the data can be collated and analysed before your session.

Each diagnostic only takes around 5 minutes to complete. You will receive your results immediately. They will identify your best and least-performing areas, as well as show you how you compare to global benchmarks.

Testimonials

“Over the time I’ve had Ben as my advisor, our revenues have grown 3x. He’s a reliable advisor – he’s able to go into detail, but he stops me getting stuck in it; he has helped me to prioritise and simplify some strategic issues. He’s always available to me. As the business has grown, my role and my priorities have changed a lot and Ben has helped me and the business through these transitions.”

RY, Owner and CEO, Finance Sector, Melbourne

Testimonials

“When I engaged Ben as an advisor, I had recently been promoted into the CEO role of a $200m professional services business. Ben helped with my priorities and ways to face into some difficult decisions. In our fast-moving sector, people strategies are our lifeblood and Ben and I work on these continuously. He never tells me what to do, but holds me accountable for the things we agree I will act on.”

TR, CEO, IT Contracting and Professional Services, Melbourne

Testimonials

“Ben’s a straight shooter and not afraid to tell me the truth. That is what I need from an advisor. Over the 3 years I’ve used Ben, our profits have increased from $0.5m to over $4.5m. He has been a reliable sounding board on our go to market strategy and how to build resilience into the business. He has also helped me step back from the day to day by guiding me on my professional development. And he has held me accountable on these things.”

DF, CEO, IT Advisory and Training, Sydney

Testimonials

“My meetings with Ben are always valuable. It is often brainstorming sales strategies, but as a scale-up I am always straddling operations and strategy and Ben has provided a great toolkit to support this. He’s also helped with some major decisions like hiring a GM for the business. I always value his honesty and whilst this can be challenging at the time, it has always helped to either reinforce or redirect my thinking.”
