Want to Improve Your Team’s Performance?
Does this Describe Your Situation at Work?
- I have a group of [project managers / directors / VPs / managers] that have similar roles and I would like to help them all improve their performance
- I have a project that is critical to the success of our company. We are just now putting together the project team and want to ensure their success
- I have been brought in to lead a group which was reorganized after a recent layoff. The morale and team performance is low and I want to make some positive changes
- I have a team that is located in different offices and we are having problems with communication and team unity
- I know that my team is not performing at a high level but I’m not sure how to get them there
- I have a dysfunctional team that is full of complaints, misunderstanding, lack of participation, high stress levels and confusion
- My group is “doing more with less” due to downsizing
If any of these scenarios describe your situation, contact me and we can discuss how a group coaching program can benefit your company.
How Can Your Team Benefit from Coaching?
- Become a high-performing team
- Expand communication, build unity and improve morale
- Learn how to have effective meetings
- Align roles and resolve conflicting priorities
If you want your team to achieve any of these benefits in the next 6 months, contact me and we can discuss how group coaching will get them there.
What Would Coaching Look Like For Your Team?
If you have a team that you want to increase their effectiveness or to strengthen the relationships within the team, I will customize a Group Coaching program for you. I can also customize a Group Coaching program for group of like-minded peers such as program managers, recently-promoted leaders, executive women leaders, etc.
Characteristics of a typical Group Coaching program are:
- 75-minute coaching sessions in a group teleconference (2x/month)
- Individual 20-30 min. laser coaching (1x/month)
- Ideal group size of 6-10 clients and 1 coach
- Homework is assigned as needed to practice new skills
- Assessments as needed
- Minimum length of group coaching program is 6 months
Examples of successful Group Coaching programs are:
- Existing project teams
- Recently-formed groups
- Executive women leaders
- SVPs reporting to the CEO
- Program Managers
- Recently promoted executives with technical backgrounds and no leadership experience
I also have a unique program called DrawSuccess which
has been phenomenally successful at companies like AT&T, Time Warner, and CocaCola to bring their teams to a higher level of performance. I usually integrate DrawSuccess into my group coaching program where we will have a one-day Team Transformation workshop using DrawSuccess, then continue with a group coaching program over the phone to ensure that the team is integrating the learnings into their daily routine and improving their team performance.
