"Leaders are more powerful role models when they learn than when they teach."

Rosabeth Moss Kantor
Coaching Teams & Individuals

“Business Coaching is needed today more than ever as a critical tool for organizational change. Change is essential for an organization to grow and adapt to today's rapidly shifting marketplace. In changing from old hierarchical models to relational models for leading and influencing, businesses are creating coaching cultures that encourage organizational learning. Coaching has emerged as the best way to help individuals learn to think and work together more effectively.”

Georgetown University, Center for Professional Development

We couldn’t have said it better. Coaching has been proven to dramatically improve individual performance results of leaders and team members. It is highly successful in moving average performance to outstanding performance for individuals who are committed to the process and motivated to personal and professional change. It can also be effective for individuals who are struggling in their performance. Our coaching clients often seek assistance in areas of work relationships, communications skills, interpersonal skills, self-esteem/self-confidence, work performance and work/life balance.

We will help you focus on, or in some instances help you find, the issue that you need help with. From there, we will work with you to develop a plan that you can adhere to in order to make sure you reach your ideal goals.

All Partners in Development coaches have both business and human resources experience. We assist individuals and teams in accessing their performance potential and help them become more effective in using their emotional intelligence (EI or EQ) to solve problems, improve relationships and achieve positive outcomes. Our focus with you is more about you than it is about business process or industry data.


Our Approach

Partners in Development coaches apply a results-based approach that focuses on identifying specific behaviors and results and establishes reasonable time frames to assessing progress. Our coaches are certified to administer and interpret a number of 360° feedback assessment instruments and other techniques to identify individual strengths and development needs. We then work with you to develop a highly individualized action plan to achieve your goals. Coaches meet with you regularly, either in person or using communications technology, to provide support and assistance as you turn these actions into accomplishments. We listen to you, build a positive relationship, provide feedback, and help you discover your own answers to how you can best achieve your potential.

Groups and Work Teams

Some business problems can best be tackled by working with a team or group of executives who are “stuck” for a variety of reasons. Partners in Development coaches also have extensive experience assisting teams in raising their performance and improving team member relationships. Some coaches are published authors and have experience with the unique challenges of dispersed multi-national or remote teams.

We carefully assess team effectiveness then work with leaders and team members to address the obstacles getting in the way. Examples include improved work processes, specific training, use of communications technology, and understanding cultural differences to name a few. We hold ourselves accountable to our commitments and support team members to be accountable for their commitments to each other.
