Executive Coaching
Leadership Transition Services
These structured experiences are informative and candid discussions between key organizational members and the new chief executive. This allows the new CEO (or team leader) to get a rapid summary and assessment of the organization’s position while developing strong work relationships. Built upon 25 years of study of the “taking charge” process, this comprehensive roadmap takes you to the heart of the actions to jumpstart the new leader. The “take charge” roadmap can save the new CEO up to six months in time and genuinely clarify issues and relationships that are vital to organizational decision-making. It is recommended that this process occur within the first month of the new leadership transition. The service can profitably be applied to newly created teams or teams experiencing major restructuring.

Executive Selection
The choice of new leadership is among the most vital decisions affecting the future of the organization.

Delivering Compelling and Powerful Presentations
A leader is often measured by how effectively they can share their ideas, visions and strategies to their constituency. It is more than ideas that are assessed by the audience –they are also evaluating the person as well. They experience the power of the leaders ability to effectively relate, to share mutual concerns and to understand the needs of the listener.We teach the verbal and non-verbal tools to show the essential leadership presence required to move an audience. We make a difference in assisting the presenter to be comfortable “in their own skin” and in bridging the gap between the presenter and the audience. We utilize a variety of simple but impactful feedback methodologies to enable a presenter to rapidly increase their skill, comfort and power. Even the most accomplished speaker can become a more dynamic, engaging and charismatic presence.
