Coaching

Coaching enhances your productivity by helping you identify critical factors that get in the way of peak performance and by helping you create a clear vision of what success means to you and how you want to achieve it. 

 

Here is an overview of our coaching foci.  Scan them and then have a look at the variety of focused programs.  While these programs are pre-designed to address a specific development area, you are offered a menu of options from which you can select the areas of interest most suited to your needs.  If none of the programs are right on the mark where you are concerned, we would welcome a call to discuss how we might work together outside these "boxes."

 

Corporate Coaching

 

Would you like to improve your management skills and increase your productivity?  What about that of your team -- is it getting the results you've dreamed of?  Could you benefit from having more influence in your organization?  It goes without saying that the focus of corporate coaching is around satisfying corporate goals, and those of its people.  Primarily this involves executives, senior or middle managers, and some professionals.  Is this you?  If so, you’ll want to check out our programs designed for the corporate environment.

 

 

Corporate coaching is about leadership and strategy, goal attainment, team building, motivating, benchmarking, managing relationships, reducing conflict, creating an ideal corporate culture, return on investment, reducing turnover, and the like.  It's about jointly considering the needs of the corporation and the individual and looking for alignment, or the lack thereof.  It's about transforming individuals and teams.  It's about helping you get to the top of your game and staying there.

 

How would you like to invest in coaching services over a 6-12 month period and enjoy a return on your investment in the neighbourhood of six times your cost?  A recent survey of Fortune 1000 clients by Manchester Consulting found the following results reported by respondents:

1. 77% improved relationships with their direct reports
2. 71% improved relationships with their bosses
3. 61% noted improved job satisfaction
4. A monetary return was realized that is estimated to be 6 times the amount paid for coaching.

With the potential for these kinds of results -- and more -- what holds you back?

Small Business Development Coaching

 

While many of the issues are the same, regardless of whether you are a small business owner/manager or a corporate client, many are also different.  And where they are the same, it's often an issue of magnitude or degree that is very much dependent on where your small business is in its life cycle and the resources you have available.  So, while the issues may be similar, the strategies often differ. 

 

For example, corporate executives and small business owners share the same concern for profitability; for employee recruitment, selection and retention; for maximization of assets and performance; for leadership, and so on.  But your best practices and solutions will often be dictated by the sheer magnitude of your capital assets -- both financial and human -- and by your organizational structure, infrastructure, operating complexities, size and distribution of markets, etc.

 

So small business coaching is about getting down to basics, assessing where you are relative to where you want to be, and exploring numerous dynamics, tools and strategies that fit your environment and get you where you want to be. If you are a small business owner, manager or professional, have a look at our programs designed for the small business environment.

 

Talent Management Coaching

 

Here we focus more narrowly on achieving people management objectives.  Being on top of your game is absolutely critical to your personal, professional and organizational success.  In other words, what are your human capital issues today and what will they likely be five years from now and how do you best respond to your needs today and prepare for the future? 

 

We’ll explore any number of issues pertaining to recruitment, selection, retention, development, benchmarking, performance management, and succession planning.  Check out our programs and assessments pages for additional information.  Send us an email or give us a call (780-418-7140), with any questions you may have. 

Group and Team Coaching

 

Would you like to improve how your team members interact and communicate with one another?  Could you benefit from a better process for goal setting and implementation?  Would you like to set yourself up as an instrumental leader of a team? 

 

Group and team coaching is a very powerful way to leverage the dynamics of your team.  Benefits often include:

• Greater levels of collaboration
• Development of team-oriented competencies
• Substantially improved effectiveness

Our coaching services come in a couple of different formats. 

 

Group coaching can be a more affordable way to benefit from a coaching program.  How so?  As demand dictates we periodically run a coaching program designed to address a specific need and offer it to the business community in general.  Groups generally consist of 4 to 10 participants who share a common interest and who do not compete with one another.  Through this group coaching process, you not only save money, but benefit from the contributions of your peers on the call. 

 

All group coaching sessions are conducted by telephone.  What that means is that you call into a bridge line that has been assigned for the program and we meet as a group in teleconference format.  This can be a very clean, efficient, dynamic learning environment that connects you to peers located across the globe.  It is a great way to expand your network and connect with people from around the world.

 

If group coaching interests you, and you have a particular focus or topic in mind, we would love to hear from you.  Please send us an email and tell us about your needs/area of interest.  We’ll do our best to create an upcoming group around that area of interest.  Any other comments and suggestions will be welcomed as well.  The more you tell us about your needs, the better we are able to help you satisfy them. 

 

If you are interested in participating in a group coaching session or series, at little or no cost, let us know and we’ll get back to you on how you can take advantage of this superb offer. 

 

Team Coaching, on the other hand, provides an opportunity for you to have an entire team, or work group be coached through a project or teambuilding process.  It generally starts with one or more assessments which are followed by a highly interactive process wherein participants utilize assessment results to identify learning/coaching priorities, roles and responsibilities, milestones, and metrics.  Team coaching can be delivered in person, by teleconference, or through a combination of face-to-face and teleconference meetings.  Team coaching provides an extraordinary opportunity for you to build a high impact team.

 

Personal Coaching

 

 

Are you where you want to be in life?  Do you love your job?  Is something missing? Or maybe nothing is missing, but you are ready to try something new.

 

By working with one or more of our coaches, you can explore, develop, test and implement whatever ideas, goals, needs, desires you have.  If the idea is only a concept, and not well refined, don't worry.  We love those challenges. We are here to help you develop a clear vision and realistic implementation strategy.  Our mission is to help you develop strategies that truly work, in both the short and long term.

 

Life today is about getting results -- whatever that means to you.  As your personal coach, we'll help you clarify and articulate what you're really passionate about; what you want to achieve over the next 90-180-360 days, or a lifetime; and how you best put your plan into action.  Then we'll champion your plan and guide/support you through the bumps along the way. 

 

Personal coaching provides you with a unique opportunity to explore and dramatically expand your awareness of self and others in a very safe, confidential environment.  As your coach, we promise to expand your insights, stretch your thinking, honour your being, tell you the truth, and be your guaranteed confident.  Outside of such a coaching relationship, rarely do we have the opportunity to be fully heard, try on or tease out new ideas in a completely safe environment, and to receive, honest, objective feedback.

 

Contact us to explore the possibilities and to request a complimentary coaching session.  We'll have you identify two or three goals you’d like to reach and then focus our conversation on one or more of these.

 

Through personal coaching, some of the many benefits you may enjoy include:

• Expanding your possibilities
• Clarifying your goals and life direction
• Living a simplified and/or balanced life
• Having more control and coming from a place of choice
• Feeling re-energized, re-invigorated and passionate about life
• Advancing your career

Assessment Coaching

 

At The Wright Group, we offer numerous assessments, all of which are tailored to meet a specific need.  With assessment coaching, we can deliver one or more assessments and then design a program around personal and group insights gained from the assessment(s).

 

Alternatively, we can let you experience the benefit of an assessment coaching program and then help you learn how to deliver assessment coaching to your organization.  Either way you win.  If you are an HR professional, this option may be of particular interest to you.
