We offer coaching services to executives, managers, and teams. We see coaching as a means of enhancing the overall performance of the organization as well as the performance of individuals. Coaching is an important tool for establishing organizational cultures that excel at innovation, vision, and execution. Our coaching practice operates from these principals:
- Effective coaching requires a partnership between the coach and coachee, and the coachee's sponsor when there is one
- Successful coaching requires clear coaching goals
- Every person lives and works in relationship with other people, and it is the nature and quality of these relationships that largely determine one's effectiveness. Coaching goals are most often best defined in terms of these relationships and the opportunities to make them more effective.
- Self awareness is a critical capability for building effective relationships
Every coaching engagement is unique, and we tailor our approach to fit the particular personality and needs of the coachee and their organization. We utilize a variety of tools, including:
- 360 assessments
- Emotional Intelligence assessments
- Myers-Briggs or a variant thereof
- One on one coaching sessions
- Coaching two or more people working through interpersonal challenges
- Team coaching
- Self awareness practices designed to enhance the coachee's awareness of internal dynamics that shape their thinking and behavior
- Formal linguistic structures to help the coachee clarify their meaning and intention in conversations with others
- Cycle of Leadership and Leadership Culture models
