What We Do
LEADERSHIP ACCELERATED
Designed to accelerate the development and adoption of top leadership traits — largely emotional intelligence or “soft skills” — our signature Leadership Coaching program provides time for guided self-reflection and skill building in areas including communication, influencing, effective delegation, leading with empathy, motivating teams, stakeholder management, and boardroom behavior. A psychometric assessment and a 360 review can offer valuable data to increase self-awareness and to inform a Professional Growth Plan. For those new to the C-Suite, we formulate a plan for “the first 100 days” and beyond.
WOMEN LEADERS
The path to the top can be different for women, especially in the traditionally male-dominated Financial Services arena. Working with a leadership coach allows female leaders to accelerate their executive know-how and presence, while exploring topics like “gendered qualities of leadership.” Increasing confidence (“owning it”), driving results through influencing, managing organizational change, and gaining life-work balance are common areas of focus (and frustration) for women at the top. Addressing these areas head-on unleashes great growth and increases promotion rates and timelines for female leaders.
PROMOTION PREPARATION
Famed executive coach Marshall Goldsmith once wrote, “What got you here, won’t get you there” — something new leaders often discover as they move from an “individual contributor” role to the demanding ranks of leadership. Promotion Preparation introduces basic leadership behaviors, from developing EQ and influencing, to motivating teams and managing up. Participants establish reasonable goals and a clear, actionable plan to succeed in their new seat. Finally, time is spent digesting that a great leader’s success is measured not by their own performance, but by that of their team.
PSYCHOMETRIC ASSESSMENT
Utilizing the Hogan Assessment, EQ-i 2.0, and/or a 360 review, clients identify and consider their unique strengths, values, and challenges. Employing a scientifically-valid psychometric assessment provides detailed data and a practical inventory of a client’s personal strengths and potential blind spots. Professionals enjoy the assessment and debrief experience, and embrace the concept of a data-driven process. The resulting report is a valuable source of self-awareness and often serves as the basis for a coaching and development plan.
