Services to help leaders and their teams to be more effective and reach their potential.
Support For Leaders.
As an Executive Coach, I help established leaders develop the self-awareness and fresh insights that let them meet new challenges with confidence. Every engagement is designed for the leader’s unique context. Through the support of a leadership expert in a confidential one-on-one relationship, leaders accelerate their development by:
Building awareness of strengths and weaknesses
Discovering blind spots
Clarifying values and leadership principles
Develop Your Managers.
These highly interactive and dynamic workshops equip busy administrators and managers with the skills, behaviors and mindset to guide their team to achieve results. The sessions focus on real-life challenges and provide managers with best practices and easy to apply models. Here's the training I wish I’d had when I started as a manager:
Increasing Influence
Managing Effective Meetings
Team Development and Facilitative Leadership
Holding Staff Accountable
How to give and receive feedback
Keep Your Department Engaged.
Increasingly leaders are being held accountable for improving engagement in their departments. While surveys that measure engagement across the organization can identify which employee groups are less engaged than others, they don’t tell the full story. I help busy leaders discover the unique barriers to engagement for their teams and to develop plans and strategies based on data rather than assumptions. Here’s how else I can help you boost engagement:
Gain buy-in with management and staff.
Design and facilitate focus groups to gather information.
Create a safe environment for staff to talk candidly.
Analyze data and create a clear picture of the issues.
Co-create a plan to improve engagement.
Develop easy to implement strategies.
Build A Strong Team.
High functioning teams don’t just magically appear: they need attention and support to reach their potential. I work with leaders and their teams to assess their developmental needs and help them thrive. Here’s how I can help you cultivate a more effective team:
Facilitate a strengths-based team building session.
Resolve a conflict or facilitate a difficult conversation.
Identify and support the implementation of new team norms.
Coaching in how to deliver and receive feedback.
Gain clarity about team purpose, roles, and responsibilities.
Design A Dynamic Board.
Building an effective board is tricky business – especially for Student Associations. Each spring, a group of newly elected student leaders with big ideas and little experience must be transformed into a board that provides oversight while keeping their fingers out of operations. I help Executive Directors and General Managers establish the positive board dynamics and great governance practices that lead to trusting partnerships with their board. Here’s how I can help:
Design and delivery of dynamic board training.
Executive coaching ED/GMs and/or Student Executives.
Team Coaching for the ED/GM and Student Leader.
Facilitate the strategic planning process, including a refresh of vision, mission and values.
Support the development of clear, easy to understand, and up-to-date bylaws, policies and procedures.
