Executive Coaching + Mentoring

Mike has developed real, authentic rapport with our team, coaching and guiding them to become the best version of themselves as part of #TEAMBULK – and we are seeing the results. It’s a wonderful thing to invest in your people knowing the payoff is not only their own individual growth but also a better, more motivated workforce aligned to the same strategic outcomes.”

Lachlan’s Career Crossroad

Bulk Group is an international end-to-end supply chain and logistics enterprise, championing authentic partnerships and an innovative, tech-centric mindset in supply chain solutions. Founded in 2012, and with a network of locations spanning ANZ, Bulk Group continues to expand its market footprint, delivering consistent annual growth of 10-20% year on year.

Managing Director Lachlan Tindal, who joined Bulk Group within the first 6 months of it commencing operations, recently sought the expertise of Career Crossroads International, (CCI) to further strengthen and sustain the company's momentum and upward trajectory.

The results speak for themselves with Team Bulk continuing to achieve tremendous success in a downturn market, supported by CCI’s Executive Coaching program.

The Mentoring Solution

After personally benefitting from CCI’s Business Advisory Coaching, Lachlan expanded the relationship with CCI, investing in the executive leadership team and providing them with access to Executive Coaching through CCI. This proved successful and he has now expanded the offering to his emerging leaders. “Michael excels at providing leadership development for our emerging leaders,” Lachlan explains. “He understands what motivates people and helps them identify, develop and fine tune their life skills and personal and professional goals. At the same time, he helps them understand their capabilities and potential and how these can be utilised to align with Bulk Group’s business objectives.”

One notable success involved an executive whose prioritisation and time-management skills were significantly enhanced under Michael’s guidance. This improvement allowed the individual to better collaborate with his team and leverage organisational strengths, resulting in additional business for Bulk Group and an increase in his closure rate of 3X in a downturn market. “The return on investment from CCI’s Executive Coaching in practice has been clearly demonstrated,” Lachlan observes.

The Path Forward

Over the past months, Lachlan has continued to benefit from Michael’s mentorship. “I’ve been meeting with Mike every three weeks to more clearly focus on what the business needs to sustain its momentum,” he says. “Mike has helped me dedicate and prioritise time for strategy and focus on refining the people, processes and structures necessary to support our trajectory.”

CCI, as a talent partner of Bulk Group, assists them with their executive recruitment. Through his coaching, Michael has garnered deep insight into Bulk Group’s culture, vibe and pulse, enabling him to identify candidates who are not only skilled but will also be a great fit for the team.

“I don’t hesitate recommending CCI to colleagues,” Lachlan adds. “Mike’s been incredible at identifying what drives people and aligning those motivations with organisational goals, which has been transformative for their performance within Bulk.”
