EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP COACHING
​
​Executive coaching sessions are designed for leaders seeking growth in specific developmental areas. Confidential conversations are facilitated that support a leader's vision and goals, while confronting beliefs and behaviors  that are incongruent with one's vision and expectations. Personal caregiving and life-work balance is emphasized to assist leaders in renewing their passion, energy, and commitment to grow their strengths and maximize their potential. Using a blend of coaching skills, we listen to leaders and support the in pushing through difficult situations and barriers to growth, encourage and challenge leaders to stretch themselves through personal and professional activities and experiences. Beginning where leaders are, we serve as a guide and assist them with individual growth plans.

Courageous Conversations for Organizational Improvement: When to Hold ‘Em, When to Fold ‘Em

Whether it’s changing a behavior, re-working procedures in the school, having a difficult conversation with someone about his or her effectiveness in the classroom or an employee’s inability or refusal to see how her attitude is affecting the entire department, a person’s emotional, physical and spiritual being can become easily absorbed high in stress and low morale. Any time you try to initiate change you can expect conflict and resistance because change and conflict go hand in hand. When change occurs, conflict heightens. How do you confront a situation without losing respect and integrity? How does one not take things personally when one has put her heart and soul into a group of people, a project, or an organization? How can you resolve a conflict without damaging the relationship?

This critical training focuses on improving foundational interpersonal and communication skills.
  • Examine your own conflict response and communication style
  • Anticipate emotional responses and situations that might occur as a result of conflicts and differences of opinions and values 
  • Become a more effective listener and communicator
  • Prepare for your courageous conversation through pre-work plans
  • Facilitate those difficult conversations with colleagues, students, employees, and parents
