Organizations

Coaching

Coaching – working one-on-one to move the needle in positive professional evolution

Executive – The goal is to tease out natural strengths and to facilitate the enhancement of leadership skills. This is particularly critical for new on-board managers where a successful transition is dependent on the ability to adapt to the new role and culture while discovering personal leadership qualities.  Similarly, for those that are retiring, a transition strategy and plan will lead to a healthier departure and smoother landing.

Staff – Absenteeism and “presenteeism” lead to lower productivity. This can negatively impact the wellness of a company along with the bottom-line.  Coaching individual staff members can help unearth stress points and prevent situations leading to low job satisfaction.  The goal is to give people the opportunity to be introspective, manage the challenges, improve communication channels, and reinvent themselves for a more satisfying work experience.

Team Development and Coaching

Clarity in the mission is not enough to accomplish the objective.  Successful teams understand the importance of relationship building and leveraging one another’s strength to achieve the desired outcomes.  Our Accelerators work individually with team members and team leaders as well as the team as a unit to thrive and flourish.  The goal is to create a synergistic environment where each person is engaged, has a valued voice, and actively contributes.
