- You'd like to perform better at work or be considered for a promotion
- You have an important goal that keeps getting put on the backburner and you're ready to move forward
How coaching works:
- We meet weekly to start
- We work as partners on behaviors and strategies to try that will help you get closer to your goals
- We problem solve and discuss different situations and strategies from various perspectives
- You decide on actions to take over the coming week
- We evaluate how things worked out, what needs to change, what can be better, and the best next steps
- We create new hard-wired behaviors that you can rely on to consistently move closer to your goals
- As you progress, we reduce the frequency of our meetings to bi-weekly and then monthly until you feel you've met your objectives
