Get Practical Advice From Most Trusted Business Coaching

The early days of a startup are noisy. Everyone has an opinion, every blog says something different, and most of it doesn’t apply to where you actually are.

Our business coaching cuts through that. You get someone who has started, scaled, and steered real businesses sitting beside you, helping you work out what to do first, what to ignore, and what will quietly sink you if you miss it.

Sessions are 1-on-1 and shaped entirely around your idea, your market, and your runway. No templates pulled off a shelf, no theory for the sake of it. Just honest, practical direction that helps Melbourne founders move from “I think this could work” to “this is working.”

Meet Conrad Morgan Your Business Coach

Conrad Morgan has spent 30 years building businesses, advising founders, and helping early ventures find their feet across Melbourne. Back-to-back Coach of the Year wins in 2020 and 2021 came straight off the back of client results, including founders who started with little more than an idea and a deadline.

He holds an MBA in Innovation and Entrepreneurship from RMIT University and is a graduate of the AICD’s Company Directors Course, which means he can talk product and customer one minute and structure, governance, and investor expectations the next. For a first-time founder, having someone who has seen the whole arc before changes how fast you learn and how few costly mistakes you make.

Working with Y Coaching has been incredibly valuable. Conrad acts as a trusted strategic sounding board — asking the right questions, challenging assumptions, and helping bring structure to complex decisions. The process was professional, thoughtful, and focused on long-term sustainability rather than quick fixes. If you’re a business owner needing clear strategy and experienced guidance, Y Coaching is well worth engaging. Justin - Adelaide

Working with Conrad over the past six months has genuinely changed how I run my business and how I show up as a director. When we started, I was constantly in the weeds — dealing with staff issues, cash stress, time pressure, and carrying far too much in my head. Conrad didn’t give me generic advice or fluffy motivation. He helped me get clarity — on what I was tolerating, what I needed to decide, and where my role as an owner actually starts and stops. The biggest shift for me has been structure and control. I’m delegating more, communicating better, taking far less rubbish from staff, and making decisions faster instead of letting things drag. I’ve also got a much clearer handle on my numbers, cash flow, and what needs to happen before I scale or invest further. Conrad asks the hard questions, but always with context and care. He’s helped me think longer-term, not just survive week to week. Six months in, the business feels calmer, more predictable, and more professional — and I feel clearer and more confident as a leader. If you’re a business owner who’s technically strong but feeling stretched, reactive, or stuck in the day-to-day, I’d highly recommend working with Conrad and Y Coaching. — Luke

I have been working with Conrad to boost my growth performance over the last 6 months, together we have implemented a wide range of techniques and strategies to gain results and boost client engagement with my business in the residential building industry. Conrad’s attention to detail with all of the planning and programs we follow are always very professional and have been acquired from a successful work history in a wide range of industries he coaches across Melbourne and remotely in other areas in Australia. I encourage anyone who is ready to boost their potential to speak with Conrad as your only wish following will be that you should have taken up this opportunity earlier. Look forward to working with you and achieving my growth goals for the remainder of 2025 and beyond in 2026. Thank you, Y Coaching. Patrick

I’ve been working with Conrad for over a year now, and I can confidently say he has been nothing short of amazing. From the very beginning, Conrad brought clarity, structure, and strategic insight that have truly helped guide our business to new levels of success. His coaching style is both supportive and results-driven, always pushing us to think bigger while keeping us grounded in actionable plans. With his guidance, we’ve grown from strength to strength — not just in revenue, but in team cohesion, operational efficiency, and long-term vision. Conrad’s ability to understand our unique challenges and tailor his advice accordingly has made a huge difference. He’s not just a coach, but a trusted partner in our business journey. I highly recommend working with him if you’re serious about growing your business with confidence and clarity.

Let's Build the Business You've Been Planning

The Real Value of Working With a Business Coach

A Clear First 90 Days

Leave with a focused plan that tells you exactly what to do next instead of trying to do everything at once.

Fewer Expensive Mistakes

Sidestep the common early traps that quietly cost founders months of time and thousands of dollars.

Confidence In Your Decisions

Stop second-guessing every move and start making calls backed by experience and a clear head.

Accountability & Momentum

Regular check-ins keep you moving, because a startup with no one to answer to drifts fast.

A Business Model That Holds Up

Know your numbers, your pricing, and your margins so the business stands on something real, not hope.

Foundations That Scale

Build the systems, structure, and habits early so growth strengthens the business instead of breaking it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Not at all. The earlier the better. Coaching at the idea stage helps you validate the concept, avoid expensive missteps, and build on solid ground from day one rather than fixing things later.

It depends on your stage and how much support you need. Early founders often start light and scale up as the business grows. Book a free discovery call and we’ll give you a clear quote with no pressure.

Yes. Plenty of founders start while still employed. We help you use your limited hours well, decide when to make the jump, and reduce the risk before you go all in.

Completely. Every conversation with Y Coaching stays strictly confidential. You can share your idea, your numbers, and your plans knowing they’re protected and treated with full professional discretion.
