Leadership Development and Coaching

Our clients ask us for help in solving workplace problems that are too complex, long-standing, or time-consuming to be resolved internally. They need our help both in defining the problem and in implementing strategies that will solve the immediate issues and achieve lasting change.

We can help:

  • When a team member has the potential to be more productive.
  • To assist with onboarding when a person is starting a new position or role.
  • When they are about to promote or have already promoted someone to expanded responsibilities.
  • When they want to develop future leaders across the organization.
  • When there is a performance problem they cannot seem to work through.
  • When a leadership team could use some guidance to work together more effectively.

In response to these needs, we have developed a simple, effective process of individual coaching. Beginning with an intense period of one-on-one work, we may facilitate a meeting with the person’s manager and work sessions with direct reports.

While no two assignments are the same, the basic phases and underlying principles are constant:

Coaching Programs

As a natural extension of our assessment services or as a standalone process, coaching is the ideal way for companies to help their employees grow and develop in many ways that ultimately impact the bottom line.

Executive Coaching

Our executive coaching program begins with an executive assessment and any additional input as necessary, such as interviews with board members and clients or an online multi-rater feedback report.

The program continues with a developmental feedback session, then three to twelve coaching sessions. The deliverables for this coaching program include an action plan (developed jointly by the consultant and the executive) for meeting both behavioral objectives and long-term strategic business objectives.

Management Coaching

Our management coaching program emphasizes leveraging a manager’s strengths and accountability to make progress toward specific behavioral objectives.

This process begins with a management assessment. A developmental feedback session initiates the remaining three to eight coaching sessions. The deliverables include an action plan jointly developed by the consultant and the participating manager. Additionally, the program may include one or more meetings with the manager’s supervisor to discuss the action plan, review progress, and identify support areas.

Development Coaching

Development coaching is a very popular short-term program for professional-level employees, supervisors, or mid-level managers. The focus of this program is to help individuals better understand their style, strengths, and limitations, and to identify ways of improving performance.

This program is directed toward a limited set of high-priority development objectives in addition to our key accountability features. An assessment and feedback precede the remaining three to five sessions, during which a development plan is formulated and implemented. The program may also include one or more meetings with the manager.

Career Coaching & Transition Coaching

A customized coaching plan—complete with goal setting and assignments—can be created for any person at any level. Our individual coaching plans can also be tailored to meet job-related transition needs.

This ultimate resource for transition includes any of the following services:

  • Skills assessment and feedback
  • Coaching on change management related to loss of job
  • Career consultation
  • Assistance in preparing resumés and letters
  • Interviewing practice and skills
  • Job search preparation, including skill-building, search and networking strategies, informational interviewing, and research

Leadership Selection Assessments

Selection and development assessments for executives, managers, and supervisors have been a core piece of our business for many years. We believe that assessing an individual’s styles, strengths, motivators, and limitations is critical to both job fit and development. If hired, this information can be invaluable in the onboarding process. In addition, we incorporate the individual’s fit with the organizational culture.

Our assessments are administered by professional staff and are conducted by experienced consultants. All assessments can be done virtually or in person at our offices or the client’s site.

The benefits of virtual assessments include:

  • Big savings on travel expenses
  • The ability to have more candidates assessed
  • Less time required for the selection process
  • Great for out-of-town clients/candidates
Executive Assessment
  • A high-level assessment for senior positions such as President, CEO, CFO, COO, CAO, and Vice President.
  • It evaluates executive leadership qualities such as setting and driving a vision for a division or organization.
Leadership Assessment
  • A mid-level assessment for management positions.
  • This assessment evaluates an individual’s fit with an existing organizational strategy and how well they can assist in implementing such strategies through managing people and other resources of an organization.
