Executive Coaching
The highest performers in the world have coaches. We would find it quite odd if Russell Wilson or Tom Brady just ran on the field every Sunday with no help from the folks behind the scenes who are helping them achieve wins during the game. No matter how great the performer, we all struggle to be objective about our own performance.
Executive coaching provides this objective feedback to executives who often struggle to get productive and helpful feedback from their organizations. We provide discrete and actionable guidance on strategy, people, and operations to help executives achieve the strategy they envision for their organizations.
The most productive format for Executive Coaching is frequent and consistent face-to-face, one-on-one sessions. Sessions can be done in-person, via phone, or virtually via online video conferencing. Contact Dan at dan@realsymple.com to try out a free introductory session.
Managerial Coaching
Like executives, managers benefit greatly from coaching. Many managers are technical experts in their area who have never had professional training as a manager. While technical skills are necessary for a manager they are hardly sufficient. Consistent coaching fills the gap between technical skills and managerial skills such as managing direct reports, managing projects and building high performing teams.
Managerial coaching is very effective in peer groups of managers at roughly the same level within an organization. Experience has taught us that managers make the most progress when they experience frequent and consistent training. Training sessions include knowledge, skill practice, and homework assignments to put skills into practice. Contact Dan at dan@realsymple.com to try out a free introductory session.
Team Training
Modern knowledge work requires frequent and challenging collaboration within and between teams. The challenge is that very few teams have had teamwork training to learn how to become a high-performing team. Much more goes into a team than simply “working together” and most of us have no idea where to begin.
There is a lot of research to show that working teams is difficult, that teams underperform and it may better to not have a team at all. Since it’s unlikely we’ll be able to get rid of teams anytime soon we’d better become better at working with them. Training as a team creates wonderful benefits for organizations as team members learn a common vocabulary and shared skills they can use to work more productively. Nearly any topic
Nearly any topic is useful for team training depending on the area the team works in but teamwork training is especially helpful to the health and performance of teams. Contact Dan at dan@realsymple.com to discuss how we can help your team.
