I am particularly interested in working with teams on strategic planning, leadership development and team dynamics.Having founded Fit for Success in 1994 and DNA3 in 2013, I have built on my own experience in starting, growing and exiting a business with a successful sale to help other successful organisations, sports teams and leaders. I have a passion for performance in life and business which I bring to my performance coaching, providing a level-headed perspective to operational improvement, strategic planning, evaluation, and problem solving. My approach focuses on the six features of a great business (revenue growth, positive cash-flow, profit, asset value, protection and succession), based on a strong understanding of the habits of winners. I’ve worked with and mentored clients in the professional services, construction, retail, health, not-for-profit, state government, education, agriculture, property, medical, sport, hospitality, technology and viticulture sectors.

Picking up the thread from DNA3, which has become part of the Hood Sweeney family.

There are many businesses, teams or people who acknowledge that they could do better. To understand how we unlock your ability to do better, consider your biological DNA which is full of intelligence that drives your individuality and growth. As a person, you are a product of both this DNA and your environment. The right environment leads to great expression of that individuality, intelligence and growth. These same basic principles also apply to your business or your team.At DNA3 we believe three things about every business, every team, and every person: they are all unique, innately intelligent, and have enormous potential for growth. What this means to you is that your future success is much closer and more accessible than you may realize. Why? Because many of the improvements in your performance are already in you, your team, or your business. What we do well is facilitate the right environment to bring that success forward. Sure we bring plenty of knowledge to the table, but our value is as much in the implementation as it is in the information. We empower you to do better.DNA3 drives improved performance by harnessing the intelligence and motivation that every group has. This is aligned with an environment and structure that stimulates growth and defines the individuality of that business, team or person. Where it becomes even more powerful is in its relevancy. Why? Because all DNA3 work is derived from the purpose & core values of the group. We recognise that everyone and every business are working to a grander plan. The problem is that the clarity of this varies from crystal clear (albeit very rarely!) down to almost zero. Curiously the connection between the business plan and the personal plan is also only vaguely made, if at all, despite the huge energy that one can derive from the other.DNA3 overcomes this by creating relevancy for everybody in every team. It's power is in its simplicity, and the clarity it creates.

Working with SME business owners and key leaders within a business to improve their operational and financial performance. This involves improving both their processes and their people, hence encompassing marketing, selling, systems, operations, team development, leadership, management, strategic planning and financial reporting amongst others.

Fit For Success offered personal training, sports conditioning and corporate well-being programs based on the philosophy of "vitality through lifestyle re-education". I started this business from scratch before selling it to "tackle something new". These were great days where I learnt the value of having great staff and how to attract and retain great clients as evidenced by our retention rates of trainers and clients being three times higher than the industry norm.During this time I worked with many high level exectives, sports teams, athletes and organisations to improve their health, fitness, sporting or business performance. It was here that I developed a passion for understanding the mechanics and dynamics of success and was later regularly employed as a 'success coach' to help teams understand that winning is a learned habit.
