The Manager Journey
Engineers-turned-managers face an uncomfortable challenge:
shifting their entire perspective.
After years of education, training, and experience focusing on individual problem-solving skills, they are now expected to influence other people's actions to achieve a business outcome. A completely new and unfamiliar responsibility!
You may have seen firsthand how awkward and slow the transition from engineer to manager can be; perhaps you've experienced it yourself. It doesn't have to be that bad. It certainly does not need to take so long.
We do things differently. See how.
Our Approach
Behavioral Based
Using the latest practical research in neuroscience, adult education, and positive psychology, we help managers develop mental self-command, create productive habits, and learn how to manage themselves first.
Enabling Others
New managers learn quickly that it's no longer about them. We help managers connect their leadership style to the needs of the business and give them practical tools to manage, enable, and encourage other people.
Collaborative Leadership
Organizational leadership is a team sport. From CEO to front-line supervisor, every manager has a specific role. We uncover each manager's specific role and show them how to foster collaborative and productive relationships at every level of their organization.
Why coaching?
Benefits of Coaching
Rapid Learning
Coaching provides one on one guidance on how to apply new knowledge. In each session, participants learn something new, try it at work, observe the outcomes, and adjust, bringing immediate benefits to their organization.
Productive People
Good managers have a reach far beyond their own efforts. We show managers how to communicate with, motivate, and enable the people that report to them. Organizations with good managers attract and retain great employees and are more likely to achieve their objectives.
Aligned Action
From CEO to front line supervisor, every manager plays a specific role in the success of the organization. We help each manager understand their role and align their actions with the vision of senior leadership, the strategy of their department, and the actions of their team.
