Our Approach to Consulting and Coaching
Our approach to coaching and consulting incorporates the following steps:
- Interview with the "client."
- Situational assessment to understand the bigger context and perspectives surrounding the issues.
- Meet with the client and potentially other stakeholders to develop a common understanding based on all the information that has been collected.
- Make recommendations on how to proceed and outline the role that we can play to support positive outcomes.
- Discuss options with the client and together make a decision on the next steps.
- Build a detailed plan for moving forward and provide it to the client for feedback.
- Deliver services.
- Collect feedback on both process and outcome effectiveness.
- Share feedback with the client and determine the next steps if required.
