Our Programs
Our clients are generally privately owned companies,
with up to about 100 employees. Sometimes they
want to grow their business to the next level, to
shift to a more positive culture, to improve
communications within the company, to empower and
motivate their teams, or a number of other reasons.
We work as both coach and consultant to the
founder/principal, partners and key staff. We
offer a number of programs including individual executive coaching, group/team
coaching, partnership coaching, facilitations, peer
advisory groups, and custom workshops and seminars.
Executive Coaching
CEOs
and business owners are usually the most
isolated individuals in their organizations.
They are expected to know everything about the
company and to have all the answers. They
hold others accountable, but who holds them
accountable? With whom can they talk
freely and openly about their fears and
challenges? We
specialize in providing CEOs, principals,
executives and professionals with convenient
individual coaching, by telephone.
Leadership topics include organizational
development, strategizing and planning,
negotiating, communications, time management,
employee development, exploring opportunities
and options, as well as having brainstorming
sessions.
Group/Team Coaching
Working with groups or teams of up to 6 individuals,
facilitate either with face-to-face meetings or
by telephone. Typically we conduct such
meetings with executive boards, partners, key
staff, teams, etc.
Partnership Coaching
Business partners
generally have unique sets of challenges based
on their relationship with each other.
Important and challenging conversations
are facilitated and obstacles are resolved
while keeping the business objectives in clear
focus.
Facilitations
Whether it's setting an annual agenda or to
stimulate better communication, we facilitate
even the most challenging
conversations between 2 or more individuals that helps keep the company on
track and moving in the direction of its
objectives.
Peer Advisory Group
The collective
knowledge, experience and wisdom inherent in any group of peers
is extraordinarily powerful. Expand the passion and
profitability of your business by sharing with, and learning
from others in your peer group of approximately 6 - 10 members.
Custom Seminars

are happy to provide you with a quote to design
and present seminars specific to your needs.

series, other existing titles, or to custom
design for a
specific topic or challenge.

ABOUT COACHING
What Is Coaching?
Professional Coaching is a
professional partnership between a qualified coach
and an individual that supports the achievement of
extraordinary results, based on goals set by the
individual. Through the process of coaching,
individuals focus on the skills and actions needed
to successfully produce their personally relevant
results.
The individual
chooses the focus of conversation, while the coach
listens and contributes observations and questions
as well as concepts and principles which can assist
in generating possibilities and identifying actions.
Through the coaching process the clarity that is
needed to support the most effective actions is
achieved.
Coaching accelerates
the individual's progress by providing greater focus
and awareness of possibilities leading to more
effective choices. Coaching concentrates on where
individuals are now and what they are willing to do
to get where they want to be in the future. Coaches
recognize that results are a matter of the
individual's intentions, choices and actions,
supported by the coach's efforts and application of
coaching skills, approaches and methods.
“Coaching is a
conversation, a dialogue, whereby the coach and
the individual interact in a dynamic exchange to
achieve goals, enhance performance and move the
individual forward to greater success.”
Zeus and
Skiffington

What is the basic

life when you have a trained, experienced coach who

structures for accountability.
Why do people decide to
hire a personal/professional coach?
They want more. They
want to grow. They want it easier.
What happens when you hire
a coach?
The moment you hire a
professional or personal coach you begin to take
yourself more seriously. Your actions immediately
become more effective and focused. You stop putting
up with nagging things that have been dragging you
down. You begin to create momentum. You set goals
well beyond those you would have set. Results come
more easily. And you receive and relish the
acknowledgements you earn and deserve.
"A good
coach will make his players see what they can be
rather than what they are."
Ara Parasheghian (American
college football coach)
