Our clients have faced every one of the following challenges and more. Sometimes they ask for executive coaching, just-in-time coaching, formal training programs and workshops and other times, simply to give our best advice.
Does anything here look familiar to you?
You wonder about coaching for yourself
- You’ve been promoted. You’re playing in a bigger arena and expectations are high. You need to step up your game.
- Your 360 report has identified your development goals: Communication, command skills, presence. You’re not quite sure what it means or how to translate the feedback into behavior change.
- You’re overdue for a reality check. You’re not sure what you’re doing well, need to do better, the messages you send and what people really think of you.
- You’re the big boss and everyone tells you you’re great (they want to keep their jobs), but few offer specific, constructive feedback. You know there’s always room for improvement.
- You could use a neutral sounding board to think things through, talk things out, gain perspective.
