Personal Coaching provides an individual with targeted development to address just what they need in a key skill area.

Training workshops can begin to develop skills, but coaching takes it to the next level by providing regular discussion about how those skills are being applied. These discussions can be directed by one's manager or an internal mentor, but often that isn't possible. Managers are busy and may not be experts in the area needing development. Coaching from an expert outside of the organization often gets better results in a shorter period of time.

If you need development in a specific topic, and a training class doesn't seem to be the answer, coaching might be the right solution. Here are some examples of coaching initiatives:

• You want to focus on long-term development of your leadership skills. You have already attended leadership training and want more continuous development and direction. A leadership coach will work with you to support that development.
• You want to learn more about how to use Excel for a specific application, or to create Visual Basic tools with Excel. A VB/Excel coach can teach you just what you need without getting into the parts of the application you already know or don't need.
• You want to better manage your time and priorities but don't know where to begin. Our time management coach can help you analyze where your time is going and plan for better control over the time you have.
• You want to better manage projects and project teams. You understand how to plan a project, but the people aspects are more of a challenge. Our project management coach can help you become a project leader, driving success of your projects and project teams.
• You want to make the training you design more creative and practical. Our design coach can work with you on your specific design projects, helping you explore your creative side while improving the training you develop.

These are just some of examples of how coaching can help. If you think it's right for you, contact us. We will set coaching goals and develop a plan to achieve those goals. Let us help you be all that you can be!
