Coaching for Innovation: Stephen's Development of Wranglr

07th Mar 2025

Stephen, founder of Wranglr, joined the nine-month Innovative Entrepreneurs programme to make data analytics more accessible and cost-effective. With tailored coaching and workshops, he refined Wranglr's strategy, expanded his network, and conducted key market research, enabling him to engage early adopters and validate the platform in real-world settings.

Stephen, the innovator behind Wranglr, developed an AI-assisted drag-and-drop software platform designed to streamline big-data analysis, reducing costs and improving accessibility. Over the course of the intensive nine-month Innovative Entrepreneurs programme Stephen engaged in a variety of structured activities. These included targeted workshops, one-on-one mentoring, inspirational speaker sessions, pitch development, and collaborative action learning.

Stephen’s greatest challenge during the programme was learning how to effectively articulate, in a pitch, why everyday office professionals need Wranglr to analyse data both efficiently and effectively.

With the support of our tailored coaching, Stephen refined Wranglr's strategic direction, expanded his professional network within the regional entrepreneurial and R&D ecosystem, and conducted in-depth market research. This process enabled him to identify and engage early adopters, leading to successful validation of the platform through real-world testing.

Although Stephen is now focused on his exciting new role as Head of AI, Wranglr will not be neglected. With significant investment in its development, the project remains a priority. It is highly likely that Wranglr will be released in an open-source format, ensuring it remains useful and accessible to a wider audience.

By the conclusion of the nine-month coaching programme, Stephen had developed a testable version of Wranglr and built a dedicated website to host it, allowing potential users to test and stress the software. The programme also guided Stephen in determining the most effective strategy for bringing Wranglr to market.

Quote from Advisor

"It’s always a privilege to coach someone with whom there’s a strong energetic alignment, as it fosters open dialogue, the sharing of ideas, and effective collaboration. It was a genuine pleasure to work alongside Stephen as he navigated the programme and developed his technology roadmap. I’m delighted to see that it has led him in the right direction.

For me, the most rewarding moments as a coach come when I hear, 'That’s a really good question!'—it’s the essence of great coaching. Working with Stephen allowed me to fully apply my professional coaching skills and developmental approach, creating a space where insightful questions could enrich his journey.

I wish Stephen all the best in his future endeavours, and I look forward to seeing Wranglr’s success in the near future."

Quote from Client

"I’ve found Gail’s one-to-one sessions useful. I’ve looked forward to our sessions, and I always feel like I’ve come away with pages of notes and things to think about. I was initially a little hesitant about the coaching as I've had some bad experiences in the past, but my fears were unfounded.

Gail is one of those rare individuals who can calmly but directly lead you on a conversational journey that helps you sharpen your own thoughts. I’m a person who loves business and “self-development” books, and I know that Gail does too. Gail encouraged me to pick up The Courage to be Disliked and finally finish it. Through reading the book and my conversations with Gail, I’ve sharpened my confidence and learned to trust myself a bit more.

Gail’s approach to coaching is very much “evolution” not “revolution”. I’m grateful for Gail’s approach as I’m often impatient for change. Gail made me slow down, take stock, and really think about what the next steps in my journey look like."
