ORGANIZATIONAL & BUSINESS COACHING
Organizations & Businesses
What's
going on in your organization? What is it
about your work or your team that keeps you awake at night? Are you and
your people achieving the results you
need? Is everyone performing up to their potential?
How do you get everyone pulling in the same direction? What have you
been procrastinating on?
Leaders
waste a lot of time, energy and
frustration on typical resource drains, such as: high staff turnover,
troublesome employees. low productivity, poor/mediocre customer
service, failed change efforts, conflict between teams, turfism,
overload, high stress, low morale and more. Leaders need
an impartial, objective sounding board who can keep them focused on
their long term visions for the organization.
Workstyle-Lifestyle
Consulting can help you explore and
sharpen
that vision. Over the course of our partnership, we will examine your
current reality and develop appropriate next steps. I will ask direct
questions, explore assumptions, and hold you to your vision and plans.
Our work together is tailored to your specific needs and situation.
Here's what one leader
said about our partnership:
"Thank you
for an outstanding year.
There's no doubt that the Department has benefited from your support of
me - I know I have."
Independent Business People
If you are an independent
business person, a sole
practitioner, or a solo entrepreneur it's likely that you are so busy
that you've not taken the time to step back and focus on you long term
objectives. No doubt you spend most of your time working at your
business, rather than on it. As your coach, I will help you identify
systems that will make the flow of business less cumbersome and time
consuming. If you are just starting out, chances are you are in
"overwhelm". Together we can identify what the important things are ,
what the obstacles are and develop plans to make it happen. You will
have specific tasks to perform each week, and I will hold you to them -
gently, of course.
Here's
what sole
practitioners have said
about our coaching partnership:
"Lowell
Ann, thank you for your continued support, experience and guiding light
over the last 9 months, you have proved to be an invaluable asset to me
and my new business....read more ...from Ryan Leinweber
of UrbanRoute
"It made a
big difference to me to know that
someone was there to "help" me. Because I work on my own
(self-employed) and because I often feel so helpless with my health
issues, it was a great personal motivator to "not feel alone" while
tackling things." LC
