One-on-One Coaching for Senior Managers

Invest in your clarity, mastery and results. 

Overview

A confidential, one-on-one relationship providing individualized guidance, challenge and support to key personnel. Participants clarify their vision, sharpen their focus on critical issues, set breakthrough goals, and develop the skills and tools needed to produce excellent results and experience greater fulfillment in their work.

Components

• Exploratory meeting to ascertain the suitability of coach / client.
• Assessment utilizing questionnaire and personality profiles appropriate to your profession and/or job function.
• Intake meetings to establish the coaching focus and specific objectives. Depending upon your objectives, these meetings may include interviews with other staff.
• Shadow coaching at your workplace (or other place you do business) to observe actual personal and interpersonal dynamics.
• Scheduled weekly coaching calls to maintain focus, deal with issues and support progress.
• 24/7 access by phone and email for JIT assistance.
• Upon closure, a completed Executive Analysis, available online, or via email or fax.

(Each coaching relationship is unique; components are included as appropriate to ensure you meet your goals.)

Suitability, Commitment, Timeframe

Finding the right coach is a very personal decision, and the coaching relationship must be a good “fit.” We will only work with a client if we can provide real value.

For the coaching relationship to be effective, commitment is required. Following the exploratory meeting, we require an initial commitment of three months; most coaching relationships last from six to twelve months.

More Client Testimonials

For the last six months I have had the pleasure of working with Rob Benson of First Training on developing my leadership skills. I have found Rob to be a valuable asset in guiding my growth as a department manager and in my personal life as well.

Rob has helped me evaluate my style of leadership by providing honest feedback and by challenging me to define the reasons driving my decisions and the factors that affect my relationships with my subordinates, peers, and those to whom I report. Using a mixture of humor, his own personal experiences, and a challenge to critique myself honestly, he has helped me take a route to achieve goals for my organization.

His mentoring has enabled me to manage more effectively in an environment that includes staff from a wide diversity of backgrounds and with differing levels of responsibility to each other and our department.

Rob's personality and demeanor make one comfortable immediately, and his challenges to perform fieldwork in the job are based in the real world of day-to-day interpersonal actions. I would encourage anyone who is driven to improve their organization's management team or realize positive growth of their own personal potential, to meet Rob and see how he can benefit them personally and professionally.
