How it Works.
Coaching is where we get to bring our experience and expertise to bear on your specific leader or culture’s particular needs. In some cases, we’re working to level-up the leader to improve their overall leadership skills. In others, we’re working to multiply the life of the leader into dozens of more leaders. In any case, we come alongside your leader where they’re currently at and aim to help them get where they’re aiming to go — both personally and professionally.
Once we engage with an organization for coaching we’ll work with leadership to identify the most pressing challenges they’d like us to address in the coming months.
The process can begin immediately online, or with an initial onsite visit (unless that’s cost-prohibitive) where our coach will spend 24 hours with you and your leadership team. We’ll finish the initial onsite with a debrief to clarify the anticipated path of development and from there we’re off and running. Each coaching journey lasts a minimum of six months.
The Coaching Journey
We’ll meet twice a month (or more, if you so choose) on zoom calls.
Because every leader is unique, no two journeys are the same. Each month will have assigned work for the leader to complete, tailored to your vision and goals. We will expect the client to complete all assignments and come to our sessions ready to discuss and do some work.
We’ll have quarterly check-ins with senior leadership to assure we’re on track towards your vision. Please note that we’re readily available outside of our formal coaching sessions for calls, questions, or spot checks throughout the coaching journey as well.
Onsite 2 and/or Continued Coaching
The first journey concludes with a results review, and your choice of how you’d like to proceed.
One option is a follow-up onsite visit. This onsite is an opportunity to give us a chance to see progress as well as opportunities for further growth. This can look like whatever is most helpful to you—more one-on-one time with your leader, group conversations with key leaders, or facilitated discussions in a workshop with your key leaders, or your entire executive team.
Most clients choose to engage for another six months of coaching at this point, with or without a follow-up onsite. Momentum can really pick up as we wrap the first term. We can make the most progress with bi-weekly coaching for at least two six-month terms.
As long as our services are useful to you, we’re happy to continue serving in partnership with you. We’ll also understand if you’ve gotten what you’ve needed and our coaching is no longer necessary.
