Coaching for Individuals and Teams

"The goal of coaching is good management: to make the most of an organization's valuable resources.”

Harvard University Review

We help organizations maximize the talents of individuals and teams through a process that builds on strengths to achieve peak performance.

Research has shown a 6 to 1 return on investment for coaching as a result of higher retention of employees and the profits that comes from retaining satisfied customers.

We are committed to helping individuals and teams identify internal motivators, align with organizational goals, develop competencies, make a consistent effort and work toward sustained change.

Recognizing that everyone has blind spots and can benefit from a detached observer, we identify missing skills or style difficulties and offer pragmatic tips.

We partner with organizations in strategic coaching plans for:

  • Leadership Development and New Leader Challenges
  • Development of High Potentials, Managers and Mentors
  • Emotional Intelligence and Communication Skills Enhancement
  • Derailment Prevention
  • Team Development

Coaching begins with evaluation of strengths and challenges, then identification of goals. Depending on the circumstances, we are qualified in offering the following assessments and reports, which inform the coaching process for teams and individuals:

  • Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, Step II and Coaching Report
  • Competency Assessment using Leadership Architect Suite by Lominger
  • Career Leader Assessment (Butler and Waldroop)
  • 360 Inventories (such as Career Leader, Kouzes/Posner)
  • The Highlands Ability Battery and Highlands Leadership Report
  • Bar-On Emotional Intelligence Inventory
  • 16PF – IPAT (Institute for Personality and Ability Testing) Model for Strategic Talent Management
  • Spectrum CPI 260 Coaching Report
  • FIRO-B

Coaching packages can be designed for all levels of employees. Services can be provided in our offices in Chicago, by phone, or on the location of the organization.
