‘I get a new and fresh perspective with each meeting. They're able to pull me from working "in" to "on" and keep me accountable to my strategic vision. They are generous with their input and with their support I've implemented some key actions that have changed the course of my business.

I'd highly recommend Your Virtual Advisory Board to any business that has growth aspirations and wants some high-quality, wise, thoughtful and commercially-savvy advisors to support them.’

Alison Coward, Founder, Bracket

‘I really enjoyed the process of being advised by the VAB team.  I felt that they really understood my business, had taken the time to read my website, look at my business challenges and understand my audience.  The questions they asked me were really thought-provoking, challenging me to deeply question myself, my values and my own obstacles.  It took me out my comfort zone but enabled me to reignite my passion and from there build a strategy. 

Jo Permaul, Director Wellness Professionals At Work.

‘I was a little unsure of what to expect when first meeting with the Virtual Advisory Board, but I shouldn't have worried. It was one of the most supportive and useful things I have done to support my business in a long time. I was at a point of needing greater clarity in where to focus, and the multiple voices of expertise helped me to figure out how to hold each part of my business in mind, without feeling overwhelmed. They helpfully challenged my narratives in areas where I felt stuck and reframed the purpose and value of some of the events I already had in my calendar, so that they became more aligned with my direction of travel and ambitions. The business acumen around the table was really appreciated and I genuinely felt so 'held in mind' as a fellow business owner.
