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 specialize in:
      Generating New Ideas and Actions
      Team Building
      Strategic Planning



Program Design
Every organization has unique needs. We welcome the opportunity to partner with you to design customized programs that address professional development that lead to organizational effectiveness. Areas of specialty:
      Management Essentials
      Leadership Development
      Team Building
      Strategic Planning



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.



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. Partial list of critical development opportunities:
      Building Sustainable Partnerships and Alliances
      Managing Flexible and Virtual Teams
      Team Dynamics
      Effective Feedback
      Conflict Resolution

Individual & Team Assessments
Change begins with insight into your self and others. Assessment tools can be the beginning point of this 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.
