Today’s leaders come from many backgrounds and are not cookie cutter copies following a straight line from B-school to C-suite
SERVICES FOR COMPANIES
Coaching has greater and more lasting impact on leaders than training programs alone. While one-time training programs are useful in introducing concepts or methodologies, the ongoing support and accountability practices that are the hallmarks of coaching result in greater and more lasting effect. Improved work and business performance, time management and team performance are among the business improvements identified in studies conducted by the International Coaching Federation.
Carefully selected assessments and feedback instruments allow us to identify blind spots and gaps to address them effectively. Our coaching programs are then tailored to the needs of the individual and/or team to address the specific goals and gaps.
