FAQ MoreIndividual, Group & Team Coaching FAQs
Our goal is to provide real coaching value in a group setting. The amount of coaching time you will receive directly is somewhat controlled by you and how much you share regarding your relationship to the coaching topic. The coach and group combined will agree at the outset on how many individuals will receive coaching during each session, and the coach will monitor the coaching process to ensure this agreement is implemented.
Yes! Many clients who initially experience coaching in a group setting want to continue their personal growth and development by selecting an Individual Coaching engagement.
How effectively a team communicates and collaborates with each other determines their ability to reach their full success potential. We work closely with teams to explore their inter-dynamics of how they do what they do. Through team coaching the team, as its own entity, undergoes a transformation through discovering how each team member interacts to either propel the team forward, or to hold it back. We have found that having a team of all stars operating in their own silos actually reduces the team’s overall effectiveness. Work with us to discover how to take your team to the next level.
We help leaders build trust in how they communicate with their team. Managers are conditioned to provide answers, which can causes us to formulate a response without a full context of the issue. When this happens, managers stop listening and may provide the wrong solution. We help managers build healthier listening skills that deepen employee trust, and explore better approaches to collaborative problem solving.
Self-awareness of how we show up for others is the first step. We help leaders uncover how their behaviors may work against their intent with their team. Too many leaders fall into a dangerous trap of assuming their team members receive, process and respond the same way they do. We work with leaders to grow their self-awareness and vulnerability in order to align their intent with being their authentic selves. Begin your journey today to become a better leader.
How would you honestly characterize the trust within your team and the willingness of each team member to get their voice in the room. As experienced business leaders, we know the importance of driving commitment to actions and results across the team. We work with teams to build a greater foundation of trust and to enable each team member, regardless of their perspective, to commit and deliver for the team’s target outcomes.
When leaders feel they have to dress the part, they often spend more time and energy self-managing their reputation instead of bringing forth their whole self. We walk with leaders as they discover the costs to themselves and to their teams of leaving part of themselves outside of work. Our special sauce as humans and the value we provide to others is not limited to just a few segments of our whole. Leaders who engage with us quickly realize how they can better maximize their effectiveness by accepting themselves and leaning into their strengths.
Professional Assessments FAQs
We are certified in the Hogan Assessments which have been proven for over 30 years to measure a person’s reputation in the workplace. Where some assessments only measure personality from the perspective of how you see yourself, the Hogan Assessments combine statistically valid data correlations to identify how people will perform and fit the organization.
We carefully debrief the data from the assessment with you in relation to your work and career context so you gain greater insight and self-awareness of your strengths and potential blind spots. During this 90-minute debrief, we also work with you to customize an action plan to support your growth and amplify your effectiveness.
The Hogan assessments include three separate views that when combined produce powerful insights into how others really see you and why you may behave the way you do. This comprehensive approach assesses 28 primary behavioral dimensions and 124 subscale dimensions statistically proven to validly predict your work performance.
The three assessments include:
Motives, Values & Preferences Inventory – Describing your core values, goals and interests that determine satisfaction and drive your career.
Hogan Personality Inventory – Describing how you manage stress, interact with others, approach work tasks, and solve problems.
Hogan Development Survey – Describing behaviors that emerge during times of stress, potentially damaging relationships, and derailing careers.
The Hogan assessments differentiate themselves from many of the popular personality assessments in the market due to their validity and reliability. With over 30 years of independent research and over 10 million assessments, the Hogan assessments have been proven to be valid in predicting work performance and reliable, so that assessment results do not vary based on the time or context in which you take the assessment. Hogan also updates its measurements every 5 years and validates results across cultures, genders, and types of organizations.
The assessment provides you a profile view based on statistically valid and reliable data. This is where the journey begins. The self-awareness you gain from the assessment starts from the 90-minute debrief with your coach and expands to real behavioral change through the enhanced personal development you gain through your professional coaching engagement
After you complete the assessment, we receive your data summary of the 28 primary behavioral dimensions and 124 dimension subscales. After we analyze the data, we create a summary report highlighting your profile. Then we will debrief your profile with you during a 90-minute coaching session. Based on our dialog, we will work with you to create a customized action plan to better leverage your strengths and address your areas of concern.
