From fog to focus: The Micro Weighing Solutions story

My work with Andrew Clarke, Managing Director of Micro Weighing Solutions, has been a powerful example of how clarity and confidence can drive a business forward.

I began working with Andrew after he discovered one of my videos on LinkedIn. Intrigued by the message, Andrew reached out, and we began a conversation that would reshape the way he approached leadership and his business.

Andrew was at a crossroads. “The tipping point for me was feeling like I’d reached my capability level,” he shared. “I needed someone who could help me grow as an individual and as a business leader.”

In the early stages of our work together, Andrew described the sensation of having “lots of cogs spinning but none aligned.” The business was running, but he lacked a clear sense of direction.

Our first goal was to bring clarity and alignment to both his thoughts and his actions. With a tailored coaching process, we focused on removing the daily “fog” and establishing tangible, achievable weekly objectives that built toward long-term business goals.

Andrew soon found that the clarity we established gave him a new sense of confidence. “Since working with Ian, my head’s been a lot clearer,” he said. “It was about clearing out the weeds and giving myself some focus. Now, I start the day knowing exactly what I’m doing.”

But the transformation wasn’t just operational—it was personal. One of the biggest shifts was Andrew stepping outside of his comfort zone and discovering that growth didn’t have to be uncomfortable. “Ian helped me break that comfort zone, but also showed me that you can be even more comfortable than you realise,” he said. “He’s not just a coach—he’s become a friend.”

Andrew had worked with coaches before but found something different in our relationship. “Other coaches want to fix your problems. Ian equips you to fix them yourself. He’s more like a multi-tool—you’ve got something for finance, marketing, people, leadership… He’s in your corner, and that matters.”

Today, Andrew leads with greater confidence and direction. “In the short time we’ve worked together, my life is infinitely better,” he reflected. “I’m much happier, and much more relaxed.”

This journey with Micro Weighing Solutions has been a testament to what happens when you align the head and the heart of a business leader. It’s about more than just hitting KPIs—it’s about building resilience, clarity, and the mindset needed to lead both people and business into a more empowered future.
