Leadership Development

Coaching Topics

Emotional Intelligence

People experience emotions at different times and in vastly different ways.  Our emotions impact the way we behave, the way we perceive experiences, and the way we interact with others. The ability to recognize and respond effectively to emotionally tense situations can be incredibly valuable to developing strong teams and delivering extraordinary results. Emotional intelligence is about understanding personal triggers, motives, and behaviors. Coaching for emotional intelligence is not about being “warm and fuzzy” nor is it about holding hands. This coaching is about learning how to use emotions to navigate relationships.

Learn to:
  • Perceive emotion in yourself and others
  • Use emotions to process your thoughts
  • Understand your emotions and emotions of others
  • Manage emotions more effectively

Career Planning & Development

Charting a course to reach your career goals can be daunting and confusing. Discovering your strengths, considering your successes, applying your skills, understanding your challenges, and learning from your mistakes are all important milestones on your path to success. Coaching for career planning involves self-discovery and personal introspection to tap into your authentic voice and professional passions. Career coaching helps you find the intersection between what you enjoy doing and what you do really well.

Career coaching involves:
  • Self-assessments
  • Resume review
  • Skill analysis
  • Interview preparation

Executive Presence

Organizations are looking for leaders who can engage an audience, inspire teams, and speak with conviction. While nothing can replace technical competence, executive presence helps to shape an organization’s culture based on how leaders “show up” and connect with employees. Employees are looking for leaders who are passionate about a vision and who are able to clearly and succinctly articulate that vision in a way that inspires, engages, and motivates.

Coaching for executive presence focuses on:
  • Communication style
  • Non-verbal communication
  • Eye contact
  • Content messaging

Conflict Resolution

Conflict is inevitable in teams and organizations. Different perspectives, experiences, personalities, and goals can create interpersonal challenges that can drastically escalate if not addressed in a positive and tactful manner. Conflict is an opportunity for people to learn how to reach a common goal in the face of opposing ideas on the best way to reach that goal. Identifying the root of the difference and the degree of commitment to resolution is critical to successful conflict resolution coaching.

Coaching for conflict resolution focuses on:
  • Self-Assessments
  • Personal perceptions
  • Needs and expectations
  • Willingness to adapt
  • Action plan for resolution
