Testimonials
I have worked with Russell for approximately 2 years now in one-on-one to group Strategic Planning sessions. During this time, I have always found Russell to have an approach that gets the most out of each session for most, if not all, participants. My business has now developed a whole team approach to training with Russell assisting in providing the basis for most training sessions. From where I sit, I have always found Russell to be great value for money and someone who assists in delivering results.

We know you’ve got questions. We’ve got some answers.
Below you’ll find answers to the most asked questions about starting our Performance Program. If you don’t find your answer, then contact us as we’re happy to answer any questions you have.
How much time does the program take?
After your initial planning session, you will meet regularly with Russ in person or via zoom (depending on your mutual locations). Meeting frequency will be 1-2x per month for about an hour each session. You will also have phone and email access to Russ as required. However, you will also need to dedicate time for preparation and follow up outside of the 121 sessions. The amount of time you are able to dedicate to the program will depend on your workload, priorities and aspirations but you will need to be able to commit at least 2 hours per week to make any progress.
How long is the performance program?
The Performance Program is initially for 12 months duration with regular contact with Russ. Why 12 months? As you’re already a busy person, it takes time to build plans, develop systems and to implement processes. 12 months is a realistic timeframe to make a dent in your growth plan, however many clients continue their engagement with Russ for years.
How do I access the live training calls?
Depending on your mutual locations, Russ will deliver your coaching sessions in person at an agreed venue or via Zoom (or similar) if you are at a distance. Russ works with businesses across Australia, New Zealand the UK so distance is no barrier to getting results.
Is the performance program applicable to my business?
Yes. This program has been developed over 36 years of coaching high-performing businesses in a range of industries and sectors. The Business Performance Program will guide you through 10 Projects designed to accelerate the growth of any business. We have helped our clients add over $200M in sales in the last 10 years.
However, it is not “industry specific” in that it won’t focus on the technical aspects of your business e.g. window cleaning, but will focus on building performance within your business to help you drive growth.
How are the Shifft program different from other coaching program?
The Shifft Programs are built around 4 core elements: Work to a PLAN, MEASURE your success, Build CAPABILITY and GROW the Team. Without a focus on all 4 elements, you will struggle to drive business performance.
Russell Cummings, our Head Coach, has over 36 years experience at working with business owners and managers across a range of industries from start up to mature businesses. We specialise in working with family and privately-owned businesses that want to grow. Our client base is currently located across Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
How much does it cost?
Your investment for the Performance Program is between $12,000 and $18,000 plus GST (payable monthly). Note: GST is not charged for international clients.
This will give you 12 months access to Russ and the program resources. It will be charged in Australian Dollars (AUD$) regardless of your location.
Russ will discuss your specific needs and tailor a program specifically for you to meet your aspirations and goals. There are no lock in contracts and you are free to cancel with a month’s notice if the program is not delivering exceptional value.
What options are there for tailoring this program?
If the Business Performance Program doesn’t quite meet your needs then we are open to creating a custom Program specifically for you.
In our experience, some clients would like more individual face-to-face time with Russ (either on-site or via zoom). Other options include a group call with your Team members who are all working through the Training Programs. Others may want more training in a particular area eg. strategic planning or a team workshop for your business.
Clients often request Russ to facilitate workshops and on-site training programs.
The options are endless…so if you would like to discuss this further, then simply book a call with Russ to discuss the options.
I've never had a business coach
Most people are concerned that a Coach is going to come into their business and start telling them what to do. Quite rightly, this is not a recipe for a good relationship.
A good coaching relationship is based on trust and collaboration. You bring the detailed knowledge of your business and industry and we will bring over 36 years of experience in business, great tools and processes and good general business skills. Together we will grow your business.
It all starts with a plan which is why the Initial Planning Session is really important. Russ will facilitate the development of a plan to get you started. You will build on elements of this plan over the next 12 months – implementing as you go. This plan will guide your coaching and training activities.
