Coaching
Executive Coaching: Focus of coaching is on working on the skills necessary to achieve the business goals for which the executive is or will be responsible. The coach serves as a catalyst in helping the executive develop those skills.
Onboarding Coaching: Assimilation coaching facilitates the smooth integration of the new key executive into the new corporate environment, ensuring a rapid and positive impact by that executive, and heightening the likelihood of long term retention.
High-Potential Coaching: Focus of coaching is on assisting high potential managers in achieving their full potential by adapting their existing skills and developing new ones, often in anticipation of new leadership roles frequently defined in the succession planning process.
Change Leader Coaching: Focus of coaching is to work with executives leading change by honing their skills in the areas of communicating a clear vision and establishing focus, alignment, collaboration and trust with all constituencies impacted by the change.
All coaching programs are anchored in the individual executive’s performance and development needs, as identified through the assessment process, as well as the business goals for which the executive is responsible. Typical coaching engagements run from three to six months.
Coaching programs follow a four phase process:
- Phase I: Identification of Desired Outcomes
- Phase II: Data Gathering
- Phase III: Coaching
- Phase IV: Action Planning and Follow-up

- Design of team session(s) based on information gathered through the interview process.
- Expert facilitation
