We work with the organization to ensure we are aligned on why leadership coaching is needed and what we hope to achieve with it.
One-on-one leadership coaching lasting 60 minutes, virtually delivered, for (on average)three months. Coaching is personalized for each client based on theirdevelopmental needs. Coaching goals are drafted and three leadership skills focus areas are selected for coaching. Success is measured and celebrated.
For three more months, clients will have once monthly coaching sessions to ensure they don’t revert to old habits, and to troubleshoot any areas that need it.
All clients have the same first three sessions. Session four onwards is customized per client. The average coaching intensive lasts three months, followed by a less invovled three more months sustainment phase.
