Psychological Services to Maximize Employee Effectiveness

Life Coaching

EXECUTIVE, MANAGERIAL & LIFE COACHING

The results achieved from our clients have been dramatic, positive and have increased their value to their organization many fold. As an organizational and licensed clinical psychologist, I believe in the role of individual coaching. We are quick to get coaches/ instructors/ tutors/ trainers for sports, exercise, new technical skills, etc. Ironically, many people are resistant to coaching in the other aspects of life; such as creating skills to develop to higher level jobs, improve your "emotional intelligence", enhance the interpersonal relationships in your lives, explore your spiritual aspects and the occasional "empty spots", identify your strengths and utilize new avenues to minimize your weak areas, and to create a vision so others are attracted to it and you can function as a leader. All of these apply to your work, personal, and home life, and allow you to create your own future. Internal mentoring programs do not enhance performance when situations are due to critical "core" issues.

The proposed development sessions with each individual, in brief, includes:

Initial sessions will focus on identifying the individual's strengths and developmental needs through objective assessment tools;
Several sessions will provide intensive feedback and establish skill development goals in designated areas; and
A follow-up session will assess the changes that have occurred and to reinforce and/or redirect the individual, when appropriate.

This format may vary to meet the needs of each individual or whenever necessary to continually provide the with the highest possible outcomes. This includes a 360 degree survey to 11 participants and target individual and feedback report, as well as the Assess Developmental Report with a developmental suggestions manual to serve as a self improvement guide, a developmental plan and timetable that has been "signed off by the individual and coach and then presented to Human Resources (or another previously designated party) and a follow up session to ensure success of the plan.

The goal of this program is to provide concrete data, insight, and support to the individual for growth in his/her current position and long term potential.

The individual will work intensely and in-depth to build on strengths and address developmental needs. It is important that the individual gain true insight into those core factors (personal, work, and family) that may inhibit further growth and development. This insight will then build on the desire for change and, with mutual effort, a well defined developmental plan will be created with time tables and targeted outcomes specified. To this end, the following process has been developed:

20-25 Hrs. of One-on-One Development
Skills Assessment & 360EFeedback, if applicable
Developmental Workbook
A Well Defined Measurable Game Plan
On- Going Support

Identifying, accepting, and committing to developmental growth for success.

I. Development Identification:

Initial sessions are devoted to assessing the strengths and developmental needs of the individual.

The individual will complete a self evaluation survey, a 337 item self report which addresses: Intellectual Abilities, Thinking Style, Work Style, Motivations, Emotional Style, and Interpersonal Style.
The individual will be interviewed using an in-depth approach that identifies personal themes, aspirations, and perceived barriers to change. By identifying these core personal themes, the building blocks of real change can occur.
Data will be collected using a 360 degree Survey providing da
