“If I allow people to be just okay, or to be mediocre – then what I am saying is I want a company that is just okay. Anyone who knows me will tell you that is not what I am about.” -Bradley J Sugars, Founder, ActionCOACH
Business Coach | Creator of The Possibility Dynamo | Founder of The Kruger MBA | Speaker & Author
With 23 years of corporate and executive experience and 16 years of business coaching expertise he blends hard-nosed business strategy (cashflow, systems, operational excellence) with nature-inspired insight to create pragmatic, lasting change.
What makes Francois different is his focus on the invisible tracks — the overlooked levers and unseen habits inside businesses that, once found and fixed, release disproportionate value.
He doesn’t sell generic motivation; he uncovers the specific, high-leverage fixes that improve cashflow, free owners’ time, and lift company value for the long term.
Founder of the Kruger MBA and creator of the Possibility Dynamo, Francois combines storytelling, hands-on systems work and transformative coaching to produce results leaders can measure.
His Bush Lessons 4 Business philosophy translates the wild’s lessons—focus, adaptation and tenacity—into clear, actionable strategies that teams can implement immediately.
Whether delivering a keynote, leading an intense Kruger MBA Program, or coaching executives and business owners one-to-one and in group settings, Francois brings a blend of rigour, curiosity and good humour.
He sees what others miss, challenges leaders to decide with clarity, and guides them into new territory where breakthroughs—often felt like small miracles—become the norm. (And yes, he will occasionally laugh at a terrible pun—because the best work is human.)
Wild insights. Real Results.
