1:1 Leadership Coaching
The team is looking at you for support, direction, and decision-making. Your leadership is looking for results. You must balance both while having your own questions, concerns, and ideas. Through confidential, unbiased one-on-one coaching, we will advance your leadership presence. We will work on what is important to you. This may include topics like effective communication, sponsorship, conflict management, emotional intelligence, team dynamics, decision-making, and the importance of self-care.
EXAMPLES OF MY WORK
Project Team Consulting
The need:
Create an integrated department communication plan
The work:
Working with individuals across the department, we created a project team and through weekly project team meetings defined the problem, need and solution. We conducted focus groups, completed a stakeholder mapping exercise, identified existing communication channels, prioritized needs, built templates, communication cadences, revision/refresh schedules and storage options.
The result:
The output included an integrated communication plan; weekly department communication that highlighted action items and information only content; created a “one stop -shop” storage hub using an existing software platform; aligned communications with existing brand guidelines and developed business update templates for use with a variety of audiences including executives, internal teams and cross-functional partners.
Strategy Development
The need:
Worked with a functional organization Leadership Team to define a short and long-term organization strategic direction
The work:
Provided guidance to a newly formed leadership team through the creation of a defined strategic direction that included developing a vision statement, mission statement, annual and long-term organizational goals. This included defining how the organization will operate to achieve the objectives. Along the way, we gathered input from the entire organization and modified the work to drive employee engagement.
The results:
The inclusion of the broader organization during the development of each component of the strategy led to observable employee engagement. Employees felt ‘a part of’ and understood how valuable their roles were to accomplishing the organizational goals.
Individual Leadership Coaching
The need:
Leadership Coaching
The work:
Each person has a different situation and need based on where they are in their career journey. I have worked with individual contributors aspiring to a management role, first-time people leaders making the shift from peer to boss and executives responsible for large organizations that need to direct versus manage the work. Through regularly scheduled meetings, we uncover successes, failures, challenges, aspirations that we use to create their personal action plan. I generally find the use of an Emotional Intelligence assessment beneficial for providing client with insights on how they see themselves versus how others see them in the areas of personal and social awareness.
The results:
When individuals are open-minded and see this as an opportunity for personal and career growth, the results are amazing. It is probably one of the most fulfilling parts of what I do when I hear an individual say “I’m so glad we did this” or a leader tell me they have seen “significant positive change” in team members. We all win!
