Why we work with couples and families in business like you...
and how we love supporting you to create abundance in business, and life, together.
We're Mike and Lisa, a Kiwi-British couple based in beautiful Aotearoa New Zealand. We both grew up in family businesses, have been business owners since our 20s, and have been coaching in business together for more than two decades.
In 2022, when it became clear to us that being aligned or misaligned led to losses and wins at different times in our businesses - harmony or disharmony - we chose to focus on aligning ourselves, our ways and our business, and then sharing that with others. How we do that is by supporting you to implement The Abundance in Business Method™ - a simple yet in-depth system, that truly gets results.
We now support other family business partners to thrive in life and business by finding the magic in the unique dynamic that each family business has - and use it to support them to create abundance in business - whatever that means to them.
We learned how to create a calm, aligned and profitable business that supports our life in the way we need it to. It hasn't always been easy. We've definitely struggled. In life, in love, and in our business where the two come together.
We know that when couples or families run a business together, personal and professional relationships naturally intertwine. This creates incredible potential - but it also increases the risk of misalignment if it isn’t managed intentionally.
Our work is what's never talked about in family business.
When everyone’s pulling in different directions in family business partnerships, it can feel isolating, upsetting, and progress can feel impossible.
We focus on making a difference for couples and families in business together as they experience life where love and business collide. Because we know exactly how tough it can be.
Our simple and robust resources, that we wish we'd had in our journey of being in business together, are a game-changer for the business partnerships we work with.
We'd love to meet you in our online coaching community, and talk more together, so come on in or book a call today.
Getting it together, together...

How ekoYOU started as a family business coaching & training company
From coaching and supporting individuals with personal development tools we created, including our book, How to be Yourself, in 2015, we saw the opportunity to help businesses if we brought personal development and business coaching together.
Time goes fast, life can be tough, and in 2022 our work in alignment became front and centre as we struggled to find a way to keep our business and relationship together.
Our unique life experiences growing up in family businesses, our different perspectives, life and business coaching skills, and professional work over three decades to support organisations and individuals through change, amounts to us doing what just feels right. And we're passionate about helping you.
