Martin Baillie
Coach & Business Growth Specialist
Subconsciously, I guess I have always been a coach. As a leader in a corporate environment, my style was very much a coaching style. I was trained to coach and mentor – to trust and inspire. Coaching my team was an everyday occurrence, but at the time, I didn’t appreciate how valuable an asset it was and how I would use it in my Action Coach business today.
Working in operations for many years (latterly in senior leadership roles) provided me with a wide variety of experiences. I have seen first-hand the issues, challenges and opportunities that business owners face when looking for business growth and development.
As your business coach and part of your team, I wear many hats. I don’t need to have all the answers, but I ask the right questions to help you find the right answers. With objectivity and impartiality, I will coach you to enhance your self-belief and achieve clarity on your direction of travel. By looking at your business differently, you will begin implementing small changes that drive huge success.
As a business coach, my mission, or higher purpose if you like, is to create 1000 new jobs in the companies I coach. For every new job created, I donate £1 to the Whizz Kids charity.
I believe anyone can be coached – you just need to find the right coach!
So, if you have any questions about coaching, get in touch.
Victoria de Bruyn
Creative PA
I have a strong operations and business administrative background, which comes in handy when trying to keep the rest of the team in line. My additional experience in communications and marketing, makes me a great fit for the ActionCOACH Bury St Edmunds team as our Creative PA.
I also act as administrative liaison to our clients who always know when it’s me on the line, thanks to my easily recognisable South African accent!
Having worked with many small businesses and entrepreneurs before, I fully understand the value that business coaching can offer organisations looking to grow and succeed, and watching business owners achieve their dreams is truly rewarding for me.
Sam Turner
Marketing Coordinator
My background is primarily in administration and marketing for arts organisations. I’m experienced in working with small teams and getting stuck into all areas of projects. More recently, I’ve worked as an Executive Assistant in the NHS for a young person’s mental health Trust.
I’m experienced in creating successful marketing strategies, managing busy diaries and organising logistics. I’m results driven and I enjoy supporting others to grow. My previous roles have involved community outreach, participation and mentoring to support others to realise their potential.
My creative, organised and supportive nature make me the perfect fit to join the ActionCOACH team. Coaching has been transformative for my own personal and professional growth. I understand the value of coaching and look forward to working with the team to reach new clients and grow the business.
