Helping Ambitious Business Owners And Professionals Create A Powerful Platform for Growth, Alignment and Success

Claire Buck – Award Winning Business Coach and Mentor

Hi, I’m Claire…

For the last ten years I have worked with hundreds of Business Owners, CEO’s and Executives to build high performing emotionally intelligent environments, whilst keeping a person-centred individual approach. Working with clients to empower them to overcome incredibly challenging issues, leveraging my innovative approach for both their business and personal lives.

Having successfully grown a chain of over 60 shoe retail outlets, with a large ecommerce and wholesale division, employing over 500 people and a turnover in excess of £25 million, whilst juggling a large family, I now specialise in working with SMEs and Business Executives on personal and business growth either on a 1-2-1 basis or small intimate groups.

Using my holistic approach; focusing on both the emotional and strategic aspects of growth, I ensure that business leaders are empowered and capable of driving their companies forward while also taking care of their personal well-being. This dual focus on business and personal development makes my role as a mentor and growth specialist unique and valuable.

As your mentor I can help identify strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities, providing insights that you may not have considered, offering personalised support, and acting as a trusted advisor. With my extensive experience in the retail industry, I help you to navigate challenges, make strategic decisions, and grow your businesses.

What I Do and Why 

Have you grown your business from grass roots up? If you’re serious about growing and scaling your business, feeling like time is passing by without you making any real progress, or maybe you’re tired of doing everything yourself?

Then I have good news as that is exactly where I come in, I’ve been there and done that and it’s a hellish lonely place to be.  That’s exactly why I started Claire Buck Mentoring and Coaching, to help business owners like you overcome that horrible feeling of being stuck and not knowing where to turn.

If you’re ready to grow your business, vague haphazard ideas won’t get you very close to your goals.  You need to strategise for growth in a systematic way.  Getting to the heart of your ‘why’ for the business and what the aims are for your growth strategy, you’ll know exactly where your business is headed, bring your team into alignment and know how to get there.

My number one goal is to ensure my clients get the results they want.

So, How Do I Do It?

 What Clients Say About Working With Me 

Peter Marsh

My business had been trading for many years, but its growth had plateaued. I did not feel I had the right mindset and even the ability to do what was required to develop the business.

I was frustrated with myself and I frequently felt as if it were impossible to see the business grow in the direction that I had wanted it to. These pains impacted my business because I didn’t feel I could be the leader the business needed. This affected my personal life because I often brought my frustrations home. It was costing me my happiness and a sense of achievement and purpose to my life.

We’ve also worked more practically on the business; Claire has both challenged and supported my thinking to help me move my business in the direction it needs to go in order to grow. What’s changed is that I feel more confident in my abilities to lead. I feel more authentic in what I’m doing, and this has had a significant effect, both in my business, and in my personal live.

I have really enjoyed working with Claire at a business and personal level.

Claire really can provide both, which is exactly what an owner managed business requires. She has helped my management teamwork more productively together, by providing a better insight into why we work in the way we do.

Enabling us to improve communication, so creating more informed collective solutions. At a personal level, she has also helped me to understand my strengths and weaknesses, to better enable me to drive the business forward.

I wholeheartedly recommend Claire, who brings with her, business nous, personal sensitivity and a vast knowledge of industry leading techniques to improve your personal and business performance.

GRG Recruitment selected Claire and Claire Buck Coaching because she’s proven.
Unlike many coaches, Claire has actually grown and ran a successful £multi-million retailer. This credibility is what sets her apart. Her approach is knowledgeable, supportive, thought-provoking and real-life. Her honesty and insight are of a different level in helping identify and action our true potential, both personally and commercially.
We were thoroughly impressed by the sessions undertaken, would instantly recommend her to others, and will continue to use Claire and Claire Buck Coaching in the future.

Claire Buck Coaching

I have been working with Claire now for almost two years and quite simply she is brilliant!

The skills and support she has given me have aided me to be a better leader in business and has also reflected positively into my personal life.

Claire can find the logic to any situation and offers advice and solutions to all problems.

As a creative, getting things out of my head can sometimes be difficult but she is one of the few people who can! She has excellent listening skills and is a natural at putting you at ease within the sessions.

She has enabled me personally to reach goals I thought were unachievable and has been key to aiding me to become the confident business woman I am today.

I can not recommend Claire enough. The benefits on the company are endless and the results from using her services are proven, with the rapid growth of the business which has flourished within the short space of time we have been working with Claire.

What was going on before we started working together?

 I had a relatively successful business, but I was enjoying it. I was also faced with various Operational Challenges thatwere causing a lot of stress and were making me feel unhappy.

What were your pains and the impact of those pains to yourself and the business and at what costs?

At the time of meeting Claire, I was suffering with stress and sleepless nights.

What steps you have gone through since working with me – high level steps?

I have basically gone through a complete re-structuring of my Ops department, not a single member of the team thatwere letting me down, remains. We have achieved this with as little disruption as possible. Claire also introduced to me to a first class Head-hunter, who found me a first class Ops Director, we now have a slick Ops department that I can be proud of. I have also learnt better coping mechanisms for when things aren’t going well, to focus on the things I can impact and ignore the things that I can’t.

How are you feeling now e., stuck vs unstuck? I am still not where I want to be, but I don’t think I ever will (that’s just my nature) but I’m enjoying work again and I’m very excited about the future of my company. Defiantly Unstuck!

What’s changed or is changing as a result? I feel happier, on top of things, optimistic about the future, less stressed and sleep well. The company and I would defiantly not be in as strong a position as we are now, without Claire’s help and support.

PERSONAL RESILIENCE QUIZ

This quiz will help you identify which resilience strategies you are currently using more and less of. 

Claire is a tireless emmisary for all aspects of personal and professional development. Her empathetic, insightful, and holistic approach to coaching is one I found extremely engaging and thought provoking.

Claire has a unique ability to provide context and clarity to what was a confusing and equivocal situation, which allowed me to view myself and the world around me from a new perspective. A level of self-awareness that I believed I already had, but ultimately I was barely scratching the surface!  

I had no idea what to expect from my sessions with Claire. Having found her by chance on the internet, I was immediately sold after reviewing her excellent credentials and business background. This was particularly important to me as I was seeking guidance at a time in my life that was in fact, the peak of my personal and career successes to date. The goals I outlined at the start of the 6 sessions, have ultimately been achieved, but via a very different route than I had envisaged prior to starting. This is a credit to Claire and her ability to look beyond face value, to uncover the emotional drivers behind a persons goals and pursuits.

I greatly look forward to the next opporutnity in which I can call upon Claire once more, to help me reach new heights in all areas of my life.

Scott Galloway

The sessions with Claire have been profound at times, making discoveries about myself and what’s important to me. Claire has helped me to unravel a lot of unhelpful habits and thoughts of self-doubt. She has also helped me make to decisions and act on them so I can concentrate on what’s really important.

Overall I feel so much more self-aware and if I’m aware of something that needs attention, I now have techniques to tackle it.

I would recommend Claire Buck Coaching to anyone who really wants to make changes to achieve the life they really want.
