Emotional Intelligence: The Skills that Mean Business
In many workplaces, your IQ (intellect) gets you hired, while your EQ (emotional quotient or emotional intelligence) can get you promoted…or fired. This course helps you learn how to consciously increase your EQ in ways that are observable to you and those around you. For example, past participants have used this course to learn practical ways to regulate their response to emotional triggers, to increase their ability to communicate with empathy, and to create an action plan to manage their work relationships with greater finesse and effectiveness. This course can be linked to EQ instruments including the Bar-On and Talentsmart.
AREAS OF EXPERTISE
Courageous Conversations
Offered face-to-face or virtually, this course addresses the art and science of courageously communicating about challenging topics in ways that foster productivity and collaboration. These skills are vital for leaders, teams and individual contributors, particularly now when people need to work virtually to make important business decisions. Whether in-person or virtual, often those conversations are less than productive: the real issues aren't surfaced or even if the objectives are achieved, relationships may be strained. This course goes far beyond the basics of a good meeting (have an agenda, invite the right people). In this course you will learn how to design a highly productive conversation and practice 5 key conversational moves. Leave with a toolkit and a customized action plan to dramatically increase your capacity to have courageous, impactful conversations.

Capitalizing on Team Diversity in a Virtual World: Collaborating for Results
In our current climate individuals and teams are being called on to work remotely and collaborate in new ways. This highly-customized and actively-facilitated virtual approach helps teams learn practical skills and tools to more effectively communicate and navigate across differences which are creating challenges for them (e.g., HBDI brain thinking styles, communication preferences, learning styles, geography, background). We help the team practice key skills, leverage cutting edge tools that invite active and more equal participation, and establish norms that increase engagement, inclusivity, and courage to challenge. Teams establish their own dashboard with key criteria they will use to track their progress collectively. Individuals also commit to actions they will take to increase their skill and confidence in collaborating for results.

Individual and Team Coaching
We offer four types of coaching.
Individual executive/leadership coaching.
As certified coaches affiliated with the Hudson Institute, we partner with leaders and emerging leaders to provide individual coaching. Individual coaching gives us the opportunity to get to know people in a deeper way and serve as thought partners. We love supporting career development, leadership capacity, work/life quality and transformation from one stage of life to the next. To ensure maximum impact, our engagements are typically four to six months in length and often include stakeholder feedback. When we gather stakeholder feedback, we use a systems approach, focusing on what the individual can do better to serve the needs of the organization and what the stakeholders can do to support the development of the coachee.
Integrated program coaching.
To increase the impact and stickiness of our leadership development and executive presence programs, we often meet with clients one-on-one in between the group sessions. These confidential sessions provide greater opportunity to support individuals in integrating new behaviors and making sustained behavior changes.
Team coaching.
We offer team coaching to support the growth and development for new and existing teams. Clients often request team coaching to support teams in identifying and then addressing internal and external barriers. We support the team in determining how the team can meet its needs as well as the organizational goals.
Dyad coaching.
This method of coaching is designed to help two high-level individuals transform their working relationship from what they might describe as contentious or even dysfunctional to a skillful, collaborative, healthy partnership. Dyad coaching is an effective strategy when:
Two people must work together for the business/project to succeed, yet they are not communicating well with one another
Each party sees the "other" as the problem and distrust between the two is high
Both parties spend more time talking about each other...or past each other....than with each other
The dysfunctional dynamic is jeopardizing the bottom line, client satisfaction, and/or employee morale
