Whether you’re looking for a "thinking partner" to help you navigate your current path more effectively, reach the next step in your progression, make a strategic pivot or creating a brand new map entirely, you've come to the right place.
At various stages in our careers, we may sense that we could benefit from targeted and well-timed resources to help power us upward. Successful leaders aren't born with the skills that push them past obstacles and barriers, we develop them. By systematically cultivating self-awareness, we can design a new road map, build an adaptive mindset, build new skills needed for the next level, while cultivating a robust network of supporters, mentors and sponsors to help make it happen.
We're committed to providing the right combination of challenge and support to help you clarify your destination and acquire the right tools and perspective to get there successfully. A core element of any coaching or consultation includes the identification of what is currently going well, and the strengths of the individual and the organization. The use of validated assessments such as CPI 260, EQ-i 2.0, Myers Briggs and other data are used to help inform and guide the process. Our approach is predicated on the belief that trust, candor, and compassion are the cornerstones of every successful coaching relationship.
Creating Focus
No two client relationships are the same, but common coaching goals include:
• Transitioning from an operational position into a management role
• Developing and leading high performance teams
• Getting an entrepreneurial team into high gear
• Establishing a meaningful new career direction
• Building more productive relationships and stronger networks
• Creating a powerful leadership presence
• Enhancing self-awareness and emotional intelligence
• Onboarding successfully into a new organization
• Identifying and pursuing meaningful non-work activities
• Communicating effectively and authentically with a broad range of audiences
Establishing Fit
Establishing a productive coaching relationship starts with good chemistry. Whether we are meeting in person or via phone or Skype, an initial consultation provided at no cost to you will help us make sure we both feel the fit is right. Catalyst is part of an informal network of experienced, credentialed executive coaches and consultants. If it seems you would be better-served by someone with a different approach or skillset, I’ll be glad to put you in touch with the right person.
Getting Started
Our engagement may be as short as three months or as long as a year. The scope of our work together will determine the duration, so establishing clear objectives – as well as specific milestones to measure success – will be our first priority. We’ll then set a realistic timeframe for achieving them. We work together to design just the right intervention.
