Solutions That Align With Your Mission.
Executive Coaching
Coaching is the most effective framework for bridging the knowing-doing gap. The coaching partnership offers you the opportunity for greater self-awareness, increased effectiveness through practicing new behaviors and on-going support as you sustain these changes over time. Whether you are preparing for increased responsibility or addressing a targeted development area, the goal of coaching is to help you achieve your goals.
While every coaching engagement is unique, the process typically involves self-exploration, stakeholder feedback, goal setting, inquiry and follow-up.
Team Coaching for High Stakes Initiatives
Team coaching tracks the heartbeat of the project.
High stakes projects are often steeped in complexity and uncertainty. Team coaching focuses on relationship and trust building, cross discipline collaboration through open information sharing, moving forward together from set backs, celebrating small victories and big wins. This work occurs in close partnership with team leadership and in alignment with the organization’s methodology. By employing these practices, teams more rapidly come together and perform. Team coaching engagements are unique to each project's needs and may include:
Customized interactive working sessions timed with key project phases
Individual coaching for team members focused on increased self awareness, practicing and sustaining behaviors aligned with project goals
When needed, partnership coaching for specific pairs or small groups whose patterns of working together are key to the success of the overall project.
