What Clients Say

The best way to judge a business mentor is to ask the people he’s worked with. Here’s what business owners and teams have said, in their own words.

Business mentoring

I have been working with Toby for some time now, he has been able to help me identify clear objectives for my company and plotting a path to achieve these. I would definitely recommend working with Toby if you are a new start up or even an established company as he would be able to add value to your business.

The Motivational Maps that we covered, gave a really detailed insight into my thinking and priorities which I was not aware of and have really helped me.

I first met Toby several years ago when I was invited to watch an event in which he was presenting the key to running a successful business. His presentation style and content had a big impact on me as I had just started on my own business venture, so when I was fortunate to meet him again and offered a place at his business mentoring workshop I jumped at the chance and his support, knowledge and business acumen has been fundamental to my business being a success, especially over the past few difficult years.

Then Toby showed me the concept of Motivational Mapping and it helped me understand why I make the decisions I make and what I should be doing to take my business forward. I completely understand what motivates me now and how I can use that knowledge to improve my business strategy and find new clients. It also gave me huge reassurance that I was on the right path, achieving success the way it was right for me.

I highly recommend Motivational Mapping for any personal or business benefit and no one better to experience it with than Toby Acton.

I’ve used Toby’s mentoring service for 7 years and can’t recommend him highly enough. Toby has great energy and a true interest in other’s businesses, always able to help and advise and a great support. I also had Motivational Map done which was amazingly accurate, interesting and helpful. Highly recommend everything Toby offers.

I have been a member of Toby’s business mentoring group for over a year and it has truly given me focus, direction and business strength. The accountability has made me take action in areas I would never have previously thought possible and the support and advice given between the monthly members has been another contribution to reaching the business goals. I would highly recommend Toby to any business wanting to strengthen, focus and grow. I really look forward to attending the monthly meetings and it is so rewarding seeing everyone in the room grow on a monthly basis. Thank you Toby.

I have been working with Toby on my business since December 2018 and it has been a huge success. Toby has kept me focused and held me to account for my targets, objectives and actions. Toby provides the advice and the tools I have needed to steer both myself and my business in the right direction and as a result, the service and support I provide to my clients has improved and expanded massively. Thank you Toby!

Motivational Maps for teams

We got all of our staff mapped. From being a cynic, I’m now a believer. Great process, great advice and a roadmap for genuine change in my business.

Gary Jacobs
Owner, Eazitax

We are a small team with limited resources, but I can honestly say the money we spent on Motivational Mapping has been so worthwhile. To be able to identify strengths and motivators for team members enables us to plan projects more efficiently. Toby was great to work with and made sure the process was understood and enjoyable for all who took part. Thank you Toby – wish we’d had the mapping done sooner!

Kerrie Eastman
CEO, Streets2Homes

I met Toby in January 2022 and was really interested in his Motivational Maps offering. I asked him to provide the analysis for me personally and was amazed at how accurate the results were. So much so that I commissioned him to provide the service for my team and the results that came through have really helped me to understand what makes the team members tick, and what motivates them. I can honestly say that Toby’s service has opened up a window of insight for me into my team and how to get the best out of them. Strongly recommended.

Motivational Maps for individuals

I went through my Motivational Map with Toby and it was invaluable in helping me clarify what was important to me and what I needed at a pivotal time in my career. Toby helped me think through different scenarios and was supportive and responsive throughout the process. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Toby, his expertise and the insight the Motivational Maps can give.

Solicitor

I had a Motivational Mapping session with Toby a few months back. I wasn’t really sure what to expect but found the whole experience quite fascinating.

Toby was great at explaining what each part of the results meant; they weren’t complicated, but without a full explanation, it could be easy to misinterpret them. The report detailed my motivators and suggested strategies I could adopt to help maintain the levels of motivation and Toby also offered suggestions to enhance these strategies, some of which, hadn’t even crossed my mind.

The results were spookily accurate and have given me a greater understanding of what makes me tick, and I’d certainly recommend Toby to anyone who was interested in having their own motivation mapped.
