Professional Coaching
I work with individuals, teams and organizations to help clarify and focus professional objectives. I use a systems coaching approach, which is becoming more widely accepted and recognized in the professional world today.
Some common challenges I work with in organizations and teams:
- Lack of Relationship Systems Intelligence, RSI™
- Fostering positivity
- Effectively navigating change
- Diversity issues within the organization and customer-base
- Conflict and communication
Professional Individual Coaching
Below are few of the common challenges my clients bring to professional individual coaching. All of us tend to have some of these issues that repeatedly hinder our professional world.
- Growing oneself as a leader
- Communication issues
- How to have challenging conversations
- Strengthening sense of purpose
- Clarifying one's focus and priorities
- Work-life balance, particularly overwhelm
- Navigating change
- Strategies for developing and growing one's business
In professional coaching it helps to partner with someone skilled in asking questions, listening and paying attention to what is not being said, and what is underneath the "story" or the presenting dialogue.
I help you identify and leverage your strengths and develop new skills to tackle challenges. We will look for possibilities and how to navigate roadblocks. Skill building and personal awareness are important and it's an opportunity to become more masterful in one's professional life.
Professional Leadership/Mentor Coaching
One of my favorite things to do is to help leaders, managers, and coaches become more authentic, effective, and masterful.
While studying theory and learning skills are important, at some point, it's important to look at your unique style. What do you naturally bring as a coach, manager or leader? How can you leverage your strengths and build the areas of challenge?
Masterful leadership goes hand in hand with personal awareness work. Becoming self-aware, embracing one's strengths and continuing to expand one's range, are three keys to masterful leadership.
Some of the questions we will look at in coaching are below:
- What makes an effective leader?
- What is your leadership style?
- How do you effectively engage your team?
- What are your natural strengths as a leader, manager or coach?
- Where do you need to grow?
- Where might you expand your range?
- How can you leverage your strengths?
Through these questions and a dynamic coaching process I will help you find your "inner" leader, manager or coach and manifest that out in your professional world.
Professional Team Coaching
Have you ever been part of a high performance team or organization? Have you ever witnessed one that seemed to "click" with a positive culture and was highly productive? There certainly are plenty of examples of the opposite of high functioning and positive teams, including within many government agencies. What has some teams thrive with positivity and results while others trudge along, struggle, and have high turnover?
Some of the challenges I address with teams:
- Mergers
- Change being the new "norm"
- Cultural diversity awareness
- Multi-national challenges
- Silo's among departments
- Lack of positive communication
Part of the systems approach, www.orsc.com, I use, is to foster Relationship Systems Intelligence, RSI™. RSI™ includes emotional and social intelligence and broadens the lens to include the system. It is the ability to work skillfully with the emotional aspects of all levels of a relationship system: self, other, and team.
I will help your team to work with the principles of effective change theory, develop skillful communication, as well as learning and implementing other skills that foster a positive team culture producing a team that is effective, productive, and is fun to be a part of.
