Coaching is for City Managers and department heads who can say, "I want to get over there, but I'm not sure how to do it."  Whether seeking improvement in leadership and team-building or a desire to reduce conflict, the coaching relationship is, by far, the fastest way to gain both skills and insight.

One-on-one as well as team coaching can provide a focus that other forms of organizational support simply cannot.  Nowadays city councils and the public demand immediate results, and our coaching can help provide that through feedback and guidance in real time.  Coaching develops leaders in the context of their current jobs without removing them from their day-to-day responsibilities. 

Coaching is particularly effective during times of change.  Promotions, stretch assignments,  and teams in transition are excellent opportunities to learn through coaching.  And the ever-present political environment requires city managers to constantly consider multiple points of view and a variety of personality styles in any of dozens of weekly decisions.

Skills gained through coaching include:

Emotional Intelligence

Social Intelligence

Greater Job Fit

Motivating the Organization to Follow the City's Direction and Mission

Improved Interdepartmental Communication and Cooperation

Improved Public Image
