RECEIVE GUIDANCE.
HAVE A SECOND OPINION.
VALIDATE YOUR IDEAS.
GET A FRESH PERSPECTIVE.
WELCOME TO STRATEGIC BUSINESS THERAPY, YOUR ONE-HOUR CONSULTING SESSIONS.

Everyone in business needs an objective expert to help them see things clearer every now and then.

Sometimes you just want to talk through a challenge or opportunity. That’s why Strategic Business Therapy (SBT) was introduced in 2008 and has been used since by everyone from SMEs to listed companies. This is a one-hour consultation session on multiple areas of the business journey. You can book one hour when you need guidance, second opinion, or fresh perspective on a particular situation. You can book just one session if that's all you need. SBTs are always 1-to-1 and private. Conveniently offered online and on certain days in-person if you prefer that. And the first one is on the house. 

WHICH ONE OF THESE 10 SITUATIONS APPLIES TO YOU?

There are many reasons why CEOs, directors, managers and entrepreneurs book SBT sessions. Here are 10 examples..

 

  1. You need a business advice and didn’t know where to go

  2. You need an easy to understand and objective expert

Loaay's encyclopaedic marketing knowledge and great insight are an absolute MUST HAVE for any marketing client seeking to grow their brand, retain customers or acquire new customers. He's great company and very easy to deal with. His clients trust him completely and he brings an enthusiasm and vigour to challenges/problems that most clients have never experienced before! 

Geraint Holliman FCIM, Founder, Adaptomy

Loaay’s observations and subsequent recommendations were highly introspective, both practical and academically lead. I admire his honesty and appreciate his level of insight and clear understanding of my company and how he quickly identified the issues and how best to approach clear and concise solutions from an 'outsiders perspective'. A worthwhile and enjoyable, professional service.
