Invest In Your Personal Development
Professional Leadership Coaching is an investment to build useful and relevant behaviors. Successful career and personal development coaching focuses on improving our ability to become more self-aware, so our best selves show up more consistently. Building strong fundamentals in sports, music, business, or whatever your focus is starts with understanding where you are now and charting the steps to grow forward. This is why top professionals, regardless of industry, invest in personal and professional growth coaching services with Crescendo Coaching Group.
What do you consider an effective or successful leader? What skills do they have? What is their attitude like? Are you ready to become that ideal? Leading others in a business or non-business setting requires the leader to first tune into themselves to understand their strengths and uncover their blind spots. An effective leader uses their behavior as an instrument to develop the strengths of their team members and the overall effectiveness of the group. The business and career coaching services from Crescendo Coaching Group are designed to challenge you to look hard into the mirror, understand your personal narrative, and determine how it might be supporting your current and future success. This introspection enables the growth of your personal and professional development.
Expert business coaching services are effective, whether you’re focused on individual growth or you’re part of a group development coaching group. To augment the customized approach of Individual Coaching, some people enjoy being part of broader explorations. To open themselves to greater personal growth and development, Group Coaching is a possible solution that offers a safe, roundtable-type experience to coaching.
What To Expect
Coaching engagement starts, progresses, and ends with your development goals. Crescendo Coaching Group offers a series of conversations in a safe, confidential, and open dialogue between the coach and the client, following your intention and focus.
Licensed and experienced coaches gently guide the dialogue through the relevant and connected questions they ask to help the client expose underlying meanings, motivations, and fears. This allows the client to free themselves to take notice and change their perspectives and behaviors, which allows their best selves to appear. In each personal or career-based coaching session, the client brings forth their learning and explores new issues and opportunities based on what is most important to them and how it relates to their engagement goals. The coach notices and shares any patterns they observe, then challenges any perspectives and inconsistencies.
Career Coaching Services are not a predetermined path or prescriptive set of steps you might experience in a training or consultation engagement. Seasoned coaches are entirely focused on the personal development of the client. Each coaching session targets your personal growth goal achievement. The development plan is customized to leverage your strengths and specific requests, which supports your sustainable growth.
A typical Individual coaching engagement is designed to last 6 months, with bi-weekly sessions. Customized engagement sessions are also available. This timeline provides the necessary space to explore who you are as a whole person, uncover your strengths and weaknesses, understand the context and systems you engage with, experiment with potential paths forward, and create a custom plan of action to target the sustainable changes necessary to achieve your personal or career-oriented goals.
Coaching services are available as in-person sessions or remote video calls from our California location.
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
We help leaders shift from feeling paralyzed when approaching difficult conversations to valuing the opportunity to share and grow others. Delivering performance feedback is a critical leadership skill. Some leaders procrastinate giving feedback and dilute its effectiveness out of fear of upsetting the other person. This slows the employee’s growth and stifles business results. Our leadership coaching explores your blockers from being a high performing team leader.
We help individuals face and question those negative personal narratives that hold them back from taking their right action. Professional coaching develops the skills and capacity for you to take control and direct your thoughts and energy is a constructive way that drive your success.
We help leaders learn to command their confidence and uplevel their leadership narrative so they amplify their impact on their team and their business. Every new role challenges us to bring our teams to the next level and step up with solutions to larger problems. You now lead at a larger scale and are responsible for more business scope. Shifting from a “been there done that” leader to “I’ve never done this before” can awaken the imposter syndrome concern. Often leaders stepping up to new roles quietly wonder if they are ready for the new challenges they face. They question their decisions and hesitate to engage. Our leadership coaching works with you to address your old narratives holding you back so you can strengthen your mental agility with confidence.
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.
Top leadership wants to hear from you and they want you to engage. We work with leaders to better understand what is holding them back from actively expressing themselves in a professional and authentic way. We help them develop approaches that feel natural to them and expand their positive presence.
Just as the business owner needs to take time away from working in the business so they can work on the business, each of us as leaders need to create the time and approach to work on ourselves. Many of the leaders we work with live a day of jam-packed meetings and don’t take time to condition their mind and body. We explore with leaders how their overuse of strengths can negatively impact their performance and how they can approach their time and energy in a healthier way that enables them to bring the best version of themselves to work and life each day.
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.
We help leaders see the impact on their performance and their team when they don’t set boundaries or effectively delegate. Leaders can feel stuck and overworked when they take on too much, do not properly organize their day, and stumble in delegating to others. This shows up as working late and taking work home, leaving less time for family, community, and self-time. Our leadership coaching unveils how you are getting in the way of a better balance and stronger performance.
