Coaching Across Continents
Janelle and I are currently embarking on an extraordinary adventure—Driving Overland to New Zealand!
Our journey kicked off in April 2024 from the picturesque town of Faversham, UK, and while we expect to reach our destination by the end of 2025, the allure of new places keeps us turning left or right, adding unexpected detours and extending our adventure. With no strict timetable, this 18-month voyage may stretch even further as we meander through 50,000 km (or 30,000 miles) in our fully converted Rav4 Hybrid.
In our weekly newsletter, I’ll share not only the incredible destinations we visit and the exciting experiences we have, but also the lessons we learn along the way—tips for traveling, unique insights into our business coaching approach, and yes, even some of the hiccups and mistakes we’ve made and had to fix!
If you want please follow us on our blog on 2kiwisonthemove.com
What makes this odyssey possible? We’ve structured our business in a way that allows us to Coach Across Continents. That’s right—we’re able to coach our clients from wherever we are, whether we’re overlooking mountain ranges, exploring hidden beaches, or navigating bustling city streets. And just like we’re discovering freedom on this journey, our clients are building businesses that are more profitable, more valuable, and capable of thriving without them having to be there 24/7.
I’ve run my own businesses and along with my wife Janelle, we coach and mentor Construction Business owners in the UK, USA, and New Zealand.
We Coach Across Continents.

Master the Art of Influence: 3 Powerful Keys to Communication That Will Transform Your Leadership
💥 Imagine this…
You walk into a room, and every eye is on you. You start to speak, and people lean in, hanging on to your every word. You convey confidence, authority, and influence—not by chance, but because you own the secret to powerful communication.
What if I told you that mastering just THREE key areas could completely transform the way people listen to you, respect you, and take action on your words?
🚀 These three skills separate weak communicators from powerhouse leaders.
🔥 1. The Power of the ‘Eye-Gate’
Your eyes aren’t just for seeing—they are your greatest tool for connection and influence. The moment you make strong, intentional eye contact, you trigger a powerful response in the listener’s brain.
🔹 Stress melts away.
🔹 Trust and connection build instantly.
🔹 You become magnetic.
Why? Because our brains are wired to respond to the seven universal facial expressions—anger, fear, sadness, disgust, surprise, contempt, and happiness. Mastering eye contact means you can read and respond to these cues in real-time—making you an unstoppable communicator.
💡 Use your eyes. Lead with presence. Own the room.
🔥 2. Express Appreciation—Before, During, and After
The first words you speak set the entire tone. One genuine compliment, one moment of appreciation, and you create a ripple effect of trust and connection.
🔹 Loyola University research proves that when two people agree, their conversation flows smoothly, leading to a sense of mutual satisfaction.
🔹 But disagreement triggers an immediate defensive response.
So what’s the solution? Start strong, finish stronger.
✅ Open with appreciation.
✅ Speak with warmth and respect.
✅ Close with a powerful, lasting remark that sticks with your listener long after the conversation ends.
💡 Your words are like a honeycomb—sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. Use them wisely.
🔥 3. Keep It Brief—Because Attention Spans Are SHORT!
Here’s the hard truth: Most people forget 80% of what you say within minutes.
❌ Long-winded speeches? Gone.
❌ Overloaded conversations? Lost in the noise.
The secret? Speak in short, powerful bursts.
✔️ Say one or two sentences. Stop. Let it sink in.
✔️ Speak gently, but with conviction.
✔️ Lower your voice. Slow your words. Research from the University of Houston proves this commands attention, builds trust, and deepens engagement.
💡 When you speak less, people listen more.
