Community
The Central Business Associates community was created to facilitate community, collaboration, development & success, which are our core business strategies and goals for our clients.
I do this by encouraging our community to work together. I strongly believe that connection and collaboration with others is the way to develop, succeed and grow your business, sustainably. Because we can all benefit from being a part of an extended, collaborative business community. Share your skills with the wider community, and learn what other services are available to you locally to help you grow your business.
We intend to offer some of our services through the Sage Room Co-operative. Watch this space, or connect with us on social media to hear when this goes live.
Small Business Surgery
$100 for up to 60 minutes consultation
The Small Business Surgery is like having a co-worker or business partner who you can
- talk things through with,
- consider options to problem solve, or
- help you get clarity around the issue – to see the situation from a different perspective.
Running a small business can feel lonely, but with local, experienced, friendly support, it doesn’t have to be.
Asking questions helps clarify the areas a business may be struggling with, or where they need a specialist service provider.
Having someone to listen can often help you think through more clearly whatever the block or issue is, in a way that is easier than trying to do inside your own head!
We will provide insightful perspectives or suggestions for your consideration, so you can evaluate based on your own business values and situation, to establish what best fits your needs.
It is not an alternative to coaching.
Testimonials received for Small Business Surgery
“Over the past year, I have met with Celia Newlands on a number of occasions to discuss my business, particularly in times of overwhelm. Whether it has been to bounce ideas, look at opportunities for growth, or resolve a particular challenge, Celia has helped me get to find potential solutions each time by unraveling the question at hand, and looking at the various aspects in detail. Interestingly, we often concluded that what I thought was an issue, actually wasn’t – and that I needed to look at other less obvious aspects of my business to fix what was going on.”
“Celia has been able to provide valuable advice based on her own extensive experience, and access to resources that have helped immensely. Her connections with community are invaluable, and unparalleled. I believe that she is well positioned to help many businesses on a daily basis.”

General Manager*
If you would like to discuss a retainer service with us, to consistently move towards growth and sustainability, let me know and I will happily discuss. I usually begin with a discovery session, to clarify your current position and future goals, and we will determine whether I have the complimentary skills to help you get there. We will then run through the ‘Service Menu’, to establish what specific areas of your business I can help you with, to begin and sustain a roadmap to your version of success. If we decide my services are not what you need right now for that roadmap to begin, I can often point you in the right direction of other local, highly-skilled consultants and collaborative partners.
I will always look to find the best solution for you and your business.
*I am currently fully booked for this service, but happy to discuss whether I can help in some way, keep your details on file until I have availability, or see if I can recommend someone in my network who might be a suitable fit to help you.
