Professional Coaching
The coaching process takes the client
from where they are to where they
want to go. It is a combination of
envisioning and idea-generation, strategic
and detailed action planning, and
effective plan execution. The coaching
partnership is a customized relationship
in which the client is listened to
and supported to enhance the skills,
resources and creativity that they
already have. Coaching is an investment
in the client’s personal and
professional well-being and potential
for success.
Group Facilitation
Facilitators help make group processes
easier. We can facilitate for you,
or train you to do it yourself. We

Generating New Ideas and Actions
Team Building
Conflict Resolution
Group Problem Solving

Every organization has unique needs.
We welcome the opportunity to partner

Strategic Planning
Strategic Planning
As a business owner, self-employed
individual, or leader in an organization,
sustainable development requires both
a compelling vision and a plan of
action. Strategic plans create focus,
alignment, and put people into collaborative
action towards measurable goals. We
provide:
Business Planning Packages
including consultation sessions, Point,
Click,
Plan® (interactive CD of The One
Page Business Plan®), and prep
materials.
Facilitation of strategic planning
with partners, teams, etc.
Career Planning and Transitions
As business needs evolve, individual
contributors are often faced with
reevaluating their role and professional
goals. We provide processes, tools,
and support that can guide individuals
in determining a clear direction and
a plan of action. Types of scenarios
that benefit from this work include:
Lateral reassignment into new
role or function
Promotions requiring professional
development and skill building
Disengagement and separation
from the organization
Leadership Development
Organizations today rely on individual
contributors to take on leadership
roles often without experience, guidance,
or preparation. We work with new leaders
and managers to develop their leadership
capabilities and style. Using tools,
such as Benchmarks®,
we combine the use of individual assessment
with development planning and coaching
to support new leaders in their quest
for success. With new skills and confidence,
these leaders will thrive and be eager
to take on the responsibility of new
challenges. As a result, they will
be more prepared and effective in
their new role.
Creativity Consulting
To thrive, small and mid-size businesses,
and non-profits need to be visible,
flexible and attractive innovators,
regularly re-imagining their products,
services and programs and bringing
all their resources to support that
new orientation. We partner with you
to build a culture that encourages
innovation, and to develop the creativity
and collaboration skills of the people
in your organization.
Team Building
Success in the 21st century is based
upon collaboration and affiliation,
both inside organizations and with
outside strategic partners. Building
strong internal and external teams
requires not only the commitment of
the organization but staff self-awareness
and the diligent application of practices
that enhance communication, collaboration,
and problem solving. We partner with
you to provide experiential learning
that results in improved performance.

Individual & Team Assessments
Change begins with insight into your
self and others. Assessment tools

process. They provide validated results
based on individual input.

MBTI®
Benchmarks®
FIRO-B® |
|
| MBTI®
(Myers-Briggs Type Indicator)
is a well researched personality
assessment. It measures an individual’s
natural personality preferences
resulting in a personality type.
There are 16 different types possible,
each equally valuable and important
in making significant contributions.
When used in an organization,
the results provide insights into
leadership styles, team dynamics,
communication styles, problem
solving, and work preferences.
For career development, this assessment
provides individuals with insights
pertaining to career choices,
interpersonal dynamics and work
environment. |
| Benchmarks®
is a 360-degree feedback instrument
developed by the Center for Creative
Leadership that measures 16 leadership
competencies critical for success.
The assessment uses surveys distributed
to a leader’s supervisor
and anonymously to peers and direct
reports. The data is compiled
and compared to the individual’s
own rating of each competency
and to a norm group based on management
level and business sector. The
results suggest areas for development
and tools to create a development
plan. |
| FIRO-B®
is used to help you understand
your behavior and the behavior
of others in the workplace. It
focuses on 3 areas: Inclusion,
Control, and Affection, and to
what degree each area is wanted
(or accepted) and expressed. It
can be used for career development,
leadership, and team building. |
