Executives & Senior Management 

Manchester Inc released a study that included 100 executives, mostly from Fortune 1000 companies.  This study showed that companies that provided coaching to their executives realized improvements in productivity, quality, organizational strength, customer service, and shareholder value.  They received fewer customer complaints, and were more likely to retain executives who had been coached.  In addition, a company’s investment in providing coaching to its executives realized an average return on investment (ROI) of almost six times the coast of the coaching.

“Across corporate America, coaching sessions at many companies have become as routine for executives as budget forecasts and quota meetings.”

High Potential Professionals 

Coaching is an investment that management can make in developing their key resource people for the long-term benefit of the organization.  A study done by Public Personnel Management Magazine, states that “training alone increased productivity by 22.4 percent, but when paired with coaching, the figure soared to 88 percent.

“The goal of coaching is the goal of good management: to make the most of an organization’s valuable resources.”                                  -   Harvard Business Review

Professional Business Owners

Becoming great at what you do takes time, discipline and commitment to being open to learn.  Always, the most important learning is what you learn about yourself.  As authors Kouzes and Posner say in their bestseller, The Leadership Challenge, “we'll find in the years to come that the most critical knowledge for all of us -and for leaders especially- will turn out to be self-knowledge”.

"If you want to build your business and at the same time have a rewarding personal life, you call a coach."                                        -  Denver Post

Maintain Your Edge

Specifically created for past clients who wanted more of a maintenance program versus a full service structured program. It is a as needed program to support professionals who have decided on a plan of action and are looking for additional support when they hit a bump in the roads and ensured that their Coach is still available when needed.

Groups

Business Resource Group – In Partnership With APEGBC

Being a sole proprietor or business owner, just like a CEO, is kind of a lonely position. It is important to be able to interact with people who have the same commitments that you have and who are also trying to reach a level of excellence. This program is exclusively offer to P.Eng business owners.

Creating And Maintaining High Impact Teams

In a fast paced environment we often focus, on the basis of assumptions, on curing the symptoms versus dealing with the cause. The 4 step process focuses on the assessment of the team, evaluating, and/or creating new or alignment with existing goals and objectives.

The Coaching Skills Workshop

This intense one day workshop is practice based and skill oriented to address issues that managers deal with on the job.  Participants will be introduced to the Five-Step Coaching Model, which will act as the blueprint to build the skills, abilities, and confidence necessary to be highly effective coaches.

This interactive session, split into three modules, is designed to be facilitated by a trainer-coach that has the experience and actively models the skills being developed.  It will cover coaching situations encountered by the participants and will allow them the opportunity to introduce the existing issues that they are dealing with.

Communicating With Styles

This half-day workshop is designed to give participants insight into how their communications styles impact their success in working with people.

We use an interactive approach to getting the participants to thinking about how they communicate.  As we communicate in a faster paced and more crowded world; we can no longer rely on our ability to connect with just a few people and not others.  The mastery of skills to communicate in a much more sophisticated and knowledgeable way is critical to bringing about the results we desire in our world, both personally and professionally.  Whether we are working in a large company, an entrepreneurial business, or self-employed; such understanding of others will serve us and the people we interact with very well.

What do you value?

Good companies identify their values; Great companies live their values.  This is about how your values can affect the job you do as well as the commitment of talented resources within the organization.

Are you paid what you are worth?

Now more than ever is the time to proactively find ways to increase your compensation to what you are worth. This session looks at the essential elements you need to establish your value ($$$), then moves on to examples of strategies other professionals have used to get what they want.

Creating a Successful Personal Brand

What creates your personal brand?  The how and why you end up in the same place as you were before. What is it that will allow you to change your branding and let you redefine who you are and where you want to go next?

Simply the Plan

Are you trying to grow your existing business or start a new one? What are the challenges that stop you from moving to the next level?

The failure of new business or business expansion is largely due to the lack of up front planning. We continually hear war stories of how dedicated people have tried to succeed with a business, yet a year later wish that they had maybe used a different approach when they started.

This session will cover the key elements of an effective business plan, as well as highlight the areas to focus on when you develop your practice.
