Coaches equip people to develop themselves.

The focus of my work with you will be all about your development.

As an individual,

as individuals seeking to be more productive within a group,

as groups working together to leverage their strengths within the larger system.

When might it be beneficial to hire a coach?

Individuals…

You have been promoted to a leadership role

You would like to increase your effectiveness as a leader

You have found new challenges as you communicate with others

You have reached a plateau and want a new challenge

You need a shift in focus

You are looking for more balance in your life

You would like to find new sources of energy

You suddenly find yourself in a pre-mature mid-life reassessment (divorce, job-loss, serious illness, death of relative or friend)

Working Groups and Organizations…

My responsibilities as your coach could be to help you answer these questions.

Are you familiar with the working and communication styles of your team?

Are you leveraging the strengths of each member and working together to achieve common goals?

How much time do you think is necessary to spend focused on the future?

Who in your organization is responsible for future growth or change strategies?

Are they aware of this obligation?

How do they make their decisions? How do they communicate the possibilities to others?

What are your plans for staff development as your prepare for growth and change?

Have you identified your staff’s strengths? Are they being applied to leverage productivity?
