  Executive Coaching
  The one-on-one partnership of executive coaching challenges leaders to know and manage themselves so that they can best understand and lead others. Listening, mentoring, teaching, and motivating are what our executive coaches do best. Leadership can be lonely at times yet performance expectations are high. Whether you are faced with managing change, clarifying vision and purpose, or building organizational capacity, don’t do it alone. Our executive coaches can serve as thinking partners in times of crisis or when making strategic business decisions.
 

Coaching and Mentoring New HR Practitioners

Many companies have elevated someone from within the organization into the role of Human Resources Administrator. Frequently, this person has no formal training in the HR function. To be most effective and confident in this new role, the HR staff must be trained in the latest thinking about employment laws and their impact on recruitment strategies, employee development and performance management, promotion and pay practices and how these areas are intricately entwined. Other areas for mentoring include coaching HR staff in how to help supervisory staff to handle employee relations issues including how to make work assignments and hold staff accountable for their actions and how to give constructive, descriptive feedback to staff, peers and bosses. Other areas include the basics of how to set up an HR office beginning with what personnel files to keep and for how long; where to find the necessary employment posters and how to get them for free.
