If you’re looking for a business coach in Australia who understands how to take established businesses from good to great, you’re in the right place.
I’m Kristian Livolsi, recognised as one of Australia’s most trusted business coaches and growth strategists. Over the past 25 years, I’ve helped hundreds of founders and CEOs transform how they think, lead, and grow — achieving consistent, measurable results that last.
With experience across 83 ventures, 44 exits, advising 1,501 businesses in 97 industries and 19 countries, my focus is helping entrepreneurs like you unlock sustainable revenue growth, improve profitability, and build teams that thrive without constant firefighting.
Whether you’re running a family business in Adelaide, a fast-scaling firm in Sydney, an innovative company in Melbourne, or a growing service business in Brisbane, my approach to business coaching is proven, practical, and deeply personal.
Because growth isn’t just about money — it’s about freedom, clarity, and creating a business that gives you the life you actually want.
If you’re ready to simplify complexity, scale with purpose, and build something that outlasts you, take the Impact Growth Assessment today.
Running a business isn’t the same as growing one.
Many founders start with passion, persistence, and a great product but eventually hit a ceiling. That’s when a business coach can make all the difference.
A business coach helps you bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be. They bring clarity, accountability, and structure the three things most entrepreneurs lose as their companies grow.
At its core, business coaching is about creating the space to think strategically. Instead of reacting to problems, you start anticipating them. You move from working in the business to leading above it.
Here’s what most founders discover when they start working with a coach:
A good business coach doesn’t just give advice, they help you build decision-making frameworks, install systems, and grow as a leader.
According to research from the International Coaching Federation (ICF), over 70% of businesses that engage a professional coach see improved performance, stronger team dynamics, and measurable revenue growth.
When you combine that accountability with the right strategy, execution becomes predictable and progress becomes inevitable.
In short, a business coach helps you do what you already do well, but at scale, with focus, and with less friction.
Most business owners don’t hire a coach because they’re failing, they hire one because they’ve outgrown their own thinking.
You’ve already built something that works. But if you’re honest, it’s started working against you.
When you work with me, you get more than advice, you get a proven system that helps you scale without losing yourself in the process.
Here’s what that looks like in real terms:
Clarity and Control
We strip back the noise and get crystal clear on where you’re heading, financially, strategically, and operationally.
You’ll know exactly what drives growth, and how to measure it.
Freedom and Focus
You’ll move from running the business to owning it.
We’ll build systems that buy back your time and let your team take ownership, so you can focus on the work that actually moves the needle.
Profit and Performance
With data-driven strategy and accountability built in, you’ll turn ambition into execution.
My clients average 153% year-on-year net profit increases, and it’s not luck, it’s structure.
Leadership and Legacy
We’ll strengthen your leadership identity so you can create a culture that performs even when you’re not in the room.
This is where the real freedom lives, when the business runs because of your vision, not your presence.
At this stage of business, you don’t need more information, you need integration.
You need someone who’s been there, rebuilt from failure, and helped others do the same at scale.

Because growth should give you more life, not take it away.
Business growth doesn’t happen in isolation and neither does leadership.
That’s why my work as a business coach in Australia extends beyond one city or one industry.
I work with founders and leadership teams across Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, helping them overcome the universal barriers to growth: strategy, people, execution, and cash.
In Adelaide, I partner with many of South Australia’s most trusted private companies — from professional services to advanced manufacturing. This is where Growth School was born, and where I continue to advise boards and founders on long-term strategy, leadership, and legacy.
In Sydney, I work with high-performance entrepreneurs in manufacturing, technology, healthcare, and finance, helping them scale rapidly while maintaining clarity, control, and purpose.
In Melbourne, the focus often shifts to creatives, consultants, corporate relations and product-based businesses, those that have built strong brands and now need systems that match their ambition.
And in Brisbane, I help growth-minded founders of family businesses, real estate and trade-based companies evolve from being the business to owning the business — creating freedom without sacrificing performance.
Every market has its nuances.
But the principles of growth are universal: clear strategy, disciplined execution, and a leader who’s ready to evolve.
That’s what my clients across Australia have in common.
They’re not chasing more work, they’re building businesses that work for them.
Whether you’re leading a seven-figure team or preparing for your next stage of expansion, the frameworks we teach inside Growth School apply anywhere, because they’re built on experience and enhanced them with modelling and theory.
Every business owner wants growth, but few have a system that guarantees it.
Take one of my clients, a Sydney-based founder doing $2.4M a year. They had a great product, loyal customers, and a small but capable team. Yet every quarter felt the same: too much chaos, not enough clarity. The founder was buried in operations, cash flow was tight, and despite the effort, they were stuck.
When we started working together, they didn’t need another “idea.”
They needed a framework, one that simplified growth, built structure, and held them accountable.
That’s where the Growth School Operating System comes in.
It’s the process I’ve refined over two decades of advising more than 1,500 businesses across 19 countries, designed to break through the four barriers that stop growth: People, Infrastructure, Leadership and Marketing.
We do this through a modelling framework that focuses on Strategy, People, Execution, and Cash.
Here’s how it works:
We start by uncovering what’s really happening in your business, not just the symptoms.
We dig into your goals, team, financials, and strategy to identify what’s driving growth and what’s holding it back.
This phase delivers absolute clarity, you’ll see your business on one page, not in a fog of spreadsheets and opinions.
Next, we design the plan.
Not a 100-page document that collects dust, a Growth Roadmap that aligns every team member with clear priorities, metrics, and milestones.
This becomes your North Star, so you know exactly what to say yes and no to.
This is where we move from planning to performance.
We install the systems, dashboards, and rhythms that make growth measurable and predictable.
Weekly check-ins, quarterly reviews, and leadership alignment sessions keep you focused and moving, no more guesswork.
As your business stabilises and scales, we develop your next layer of leaders.
You’ll learn to delegate effectively, buy back your time, and lead strategically, turning your team into a self-managing engine that performs without you having to push every wheel.
We review, measure, and scale what works.
The goal is not just growth, it’s sustainable growth that gives you back freedom, profit, and momentum.
That same Sydney founder? They finished the first 12 months at $3.7M with a 24% profit margin, working fewer hours than they had in years. That’s a 30% increase in revenue, double the profit margin and with less pain and more time.
That’s the power of a system built on structure, strategy, and accountability.
If you’re ready to see what this process could do for your business, take the Impact Growth Assessment, and let’s design your next stage of growth.
A business coach helps business owners and leadership teams improve performance, profitability, and direction. Through structured sessions, accountability, and proven frameworks, a coach provides the clarity, systems, and strategy to help you grow with purpose. In short, a business coach turns ambition into execution.
Business coaching is ideal for founders, CEOs, and entrepreneurs who have built something successful but feel stuck or overwhelmed. If your business is generating revenue but struggling with consistency, cash flow, or leadership challenges, a coach helps you regain control and accelerate growth.
A consultant tells you what to do.
A business coach helps you become the kind of leader who does it.
While consulting focuses on specific problems, coaching focuses on your capacity to lead, decide, and execute. It’s about long-term capability not short-term advice.
I am both and more. I am a trusted business advisor, mentor, business coach and strategy consultant, I leverage the experience of 83 ventures and 44 successful exits along with the experience that comes from working with more than 1500 business owners.

Through clear financial strategy, KPI tracking, and accountability rhythms, business coaching identifies what drives profit and what drains it. Clients typically see improved margins within 90 days as waste, inefficiency, and misalignment are eliminated. Kristian’s clients have achieved an average 153% year-on-year profit increase using this approach.
You can expect strategic planning, financial analysis, leadership development, and regular accountability sessions. Each program is tailored to your business goals whether that’s stabilising cash flow, scaling revenue, or preparing for exit. Every engagement includes measurable outcomes and transparent progress tracking.
Most coaching relationships run for 12 months, depending on the scope and goals. However, many business owners continue longer to maintain strategic momentum and ongoing accountability. Sustainable growth isn’t a one-off project, it’s a continual evolution.
