Awareness - Insight - Purpose - Outcomes

One-on-One Coaching

Leaders and managers face a barrage of competing priorities, and at times feel stuck in an inescapable cycle of busy-ness. Or they may be in a place where they've "done it all" and are seeking the next stage. To gain or regain traction toward what matters most, some change is required, and along with it courage and commitment. One-on-one coaching is ideal for leaders/managers at any level who want to renew clarity and purpose, shore up their strengths and manage their weaknesses, and take steps toward the desired state.

Work can include:

· Transitioning into a new role

· Reaching the next level of perfomance in the current role

· Leadership presence 

· Making critical shifts in thinking and behavioral habits to grow and to master key elements of the job   

· Engaging others to translate vision into visible outcomes

Leadership growth can be greatly enhanced with a 360 leadership assessment. We use the Leadership Circle Profile, one of the most reliable and leader-friendly tools on the market.

Team Facilitation

When it feels as though a team is in the doldrums or when members diverge in their actions, productivity and cohesion decrease while other outcome show up: complacency, stress, or resentment. Team facilitation affords team members a safe environment to learn together, improve dialogue skills, support one another, and address issues that affect team morale and performance.

We help teams:

· Set themselves up for success

· Develop confidence in communicating needs and hopes within the team 

· Build healthy and productive relationships

· Have more productive meetings

· Collaborate courageously

· Learn and perform together at a higher level

Team facilitation can include having the Coach as observer in team interactions.

Essential Soft Skills (ESS) Workshops

There is only so much we can learn on our own. For that reason, small groups is a very effective setting to support meaningful learning that goes beyond the content at hand: it exposes us to different ways of seeing the world, invites a more agile mindset, helps develop shared meaning, and provides a more intimate setting for skills practice. 

ESS Workshops are therefore effective and timely when full-scale training is not practical. Participants typically walk away with practical skills/ideas and a renewed sense of cooperation with colleagues. 

We customize workshop content and design to meet the group's needs for improved "soft skills" such as: 

· Networking

· Giving and receiving feedback/feedforward, communicating needs and views appropriately

· Managing conflicts, addressing disrespect, shifting from drama to empowerment

· Collaborating more effectively

· Dealing with "difficult people" (e.g., gossipers, "big" personalities, etc.) 

· Preparing for potentially difficult conversations (e.g., performance discussion)

Workshops are typically 4 hours in length, for groups of up to 12 people.
