Personalized Coaching
Maximize your "Best Teams"
"No one becomes a skilled professional without a coach, trainer or mentor." - J. Colburn
Our customized coaching offers private, self-scheduled sessions for forum participants to find their personal and professional best.
Coaching
"The process of coaching often unlocks previously untapped sources of imagination, productivity and leadership."
​
Our coaches meet with team members individually between forum meetings to dig into their motivations, emotions, and thinking process. Your people self-schedule their coaching sessions online and meet with their coach virtually.
​
Coaching isn't therapy. When therapeutic issues arise such as domestic disputes, suicidal ideation, addiction or violence in a coaching session, our coaches can make specific or general referrals to a specialist. We strive to help you find 'your best you' both personally and professionally.
The Why
The forum environment provokes self-reflection and communication in a way that breaks down silos and unproductive competition across an organization. Forum-style sharing helps a team set aside unhealthy & time-wasting habits such as interrupting, posturing, and political maneuvering. The EQ skills we need to participate in a forum experience can be effectively practiced in individual coaching sessions between forum gatherings.
​
Coaching offers leaders an opportunity for personal and professional growth in a focused environment. When leaders have a coach to ask them questions about their underlying motivations, their fears, and their strong emotions, they learn to understand themselves. This self-awareness is the first level of mastery in emotional intelligence and is a baseline skill to participate in forums.
​
Once a leader begins to understand the way their own emotions factor into their decision-making, they develop empathy for the way the emotions of their team factors into team decision-making. Leaders who practice self-awareness generally develop an empathetic leadership style that inspires loyalty, collaboration, and true camaraderie.
​
Leaders who participate in coaching with us also learn to adopt a coaching mindset for their teams. This has a multiplying effect on the productivity of the team because empathy builds trust, and trust builds speed. This is "People First Planning".
