Advanced Business Abilities

Helped with my development of self confidence and would highly recommend if you always feel the weight on you. This course has helped with the clarity of being a lot more stress free and being able to communicate in a more effective way. Great job by Mike with this program.

I undertook this training for my own self development and further understanding who I was. I was in a place where I allowed my emotions to fully control my reactions.The course allowed me to understand how I unintentionally allowed my reactions to control me and my interactions with others as well as probably more importantly how I viewed myself.Working through both the online training and the 12 week transformation workshop I have learnt how to better and intentionally react to situations or people rather than always allowing my emotions to get the better of me.I have previously undertaken various self" work and I found the big difference was that this development course did not tell you what you had to do to "fix" you

Going through the recent 12 week program gave me really valuable insights into methods for refining my approach and impact. The expansion of perception, observation and listening, plus tools of staying in my power made a huge difference so that I was more impactful in my role in service. Thanks so much team, your support and commitment made all this exploration possible.

We have undertaken a journey with ABA and our team and whilst initially skeptical we found the process challenging and thought provoking. Some weeks after completion many of the individuals involved had changed significantly for the better, their stress was under control and their communication in dealing with others had a complete turnaround. Well done to Mike and the team we are very satisfied with the results and would highly recommend your services.

I have worked with Mike Irving collaboratively in business for 12 months with much success, both for myself and my business, and the numerous people I have been able to introduce to ABA. Mike and his team have been exceptional to deal with, and my experience of the unique learning materials and tools are unlike anything I’ve had access to before, and the results were immediately evident. I would highly recommend to anyone who was ‘stuck’ in some aspect of their life and business (and genuinely wanted to work towards its resolution towards a successful outcome) that they get in touch with the ABA team.

Working with Mike and the ABA team has been life changing and there's no other way to put it. Since working with them my business and my life has shifted into a way of working that feels clear and more in alignment. I feel less frustration with myself and the state of my business and this is reflected in my monthly revenue. I highly recommend working with them if you're ready to change your life/business.

I went through training with the Dale Carnegie training early in my career and I found it extremely helpful for my development.I’ve been looking for 3 years now for an external organisation to help me develop the people on my team. We operate with over 200 staff, and I wanted to have my key people experience quality training that would help them professionally, as well as personally, to become better, more able humans as I did.I personally participated in the course we put our people through with ABA, and I couldn’t be happier. I’m extremely impressed with the results, and my management team and I can see specific differences in our people. Our people got exactly what we wanted them to get out of the program, and we’re about to start round 2.Our people are more able to handle stress, and manage day-to-day challenges more easily and effectively. We improved our ability to communicate and lead effectively in difficult times.Mike and the team at ABA have something very unique, and I wholeheartedly recommend engaging with them if it’s important to you to develop your people.Tom PurdonManaging DirectorMPM Group

Working with Mike and the ABA team has played a significant role in facilitating my personal growth whilst contributing to the development of my business.Their coaching methodology is not only forward-thinking and insightful but also easily comprehensible. Through their expertise, I have learned to understand communication and interactions at a heightened level.The application of ABA teachings has generated significant outcomes in a remarkably brief timeframe, causing a substantial impact on my personal and professional life.

After working with ABA for almost a year now I consider the skills that they teach you to be essential in improving your business and personal life.What Mike and the team teach you is priceless, these skills stick with you for life. I have found all aspects of my life to be improving continually since working with them.Everyone is genuinely dedicated to helping you in anyway possible.I would highly recommend to anybody to reach out and start a conversation with them.

I have been working with Mike for a number of years now. The communication skills and tools that I have gained from participating in one on one coaching sessions, along with the group workshops, has helped in all facets of my life - which have ultimately lead to multiple personal and career achievements throughout this time.As I now find myself in a career transition stage of my life, I have come to realise that entering a recruitment process is very much the same as entering the sales process. The fundamental communication and self-leadership skills that I have gained from working with Mike and the ABA team, has given me the confidence to effectively communicate, throughout the recruitment process.
