I work with the bloke behind the business.
The easiest way to lead - and live - is as yourself.
Hi, I’m Bella Reynolds.
I’ve spent more than 30 years in and around business - building businesses, working alongside business owners and coaching the person behind the business. My background crosses business, leadership, human behaviour and health, but much of what I bring to this work has come from years of sitting across the table from business owners and leaders.
And I’ve noticed something repeatedly:
The problem someone brings into the room isn’t always the real problem. A delegation problem might actually be about finding it difficult to let go. Avoiding a conversation might be about not wanting to disappoint someone. Constantly stepping in can come from believing that being a good bloke means never letting anyone down. And continually questioning a perfectly sound decision may have very little to do with business knowledge.
I love finding the pattern underneath the problem. But I’m equally interested in what happens when that pattern stops running the show because that’s when there’s room for something else.
More freedom. Better relationships. More honest conversations. More adventure. More fun. More of the person who’s perhaps been buried underneath all that responsibility.
How I work
My style is warm, direct and practical.
We’ll talk honestly about what’s going on. I’ll challenge you when I think you’re getting in your own way. We’ll probably laugh quite a bit too.
Because this work matters.
But it doesn’t all have to be so bloody serious.
I work privately with a small number of established male business owners who want to back themselves, carry less and get more out of the life they’ve worked hard to create.
The easiest way to lead - and live - is as yourself.
If you’re wondering whether this is the kind of conversation you’ve been looking for, let’s talk.
Kind words from my clients
-
“She never told me what to do or tried to ‘fix’ me. She simply helped me find my own answers. I finished my time with her feeling like I’d got my enthusiasm and confidence back. I came out of the experience a better husband, father, business owner and leader. I honestly can’t explain exactly what Bella does, but I can tell you it genuinely changed my life.”
Pete, Business Owner

“Working with Bella has completely transformed my life. After 40 years of doing things a certain way, I needed to change but didn’t know how to go about it, or more importantly, how to make it stick. Fast forward 12 months and I’ve learnt any habit can be broken or modified. Bella certainly has the expertise to make habit change real. Forever indebted to you Bella.”

“Some of the things I’ve learnt through the habit change program at work have been really cool. I have definitely adopted some of those practices and have lost some weight and more importantly, changed some of the things that I do in the afternoons when I get home. I don’t go to the fridge; I go outside first, have a walk around, have some water and tend to feel a lot better. It actually helped me to leave all the crap from the day at work behind, so it’s been quite therapeutic.”

“The habit change program at work has helped me to get an understanding about why I feel the way I do sometimes. I think it has been good for the employees’ mental health. It has got everyone to think about things in different ways and to think about why they are doing things.”
