Consulting and Customized Solutions in Organization Development and Training

We work with you to develop customized solutions to your organization’s development needs.

Organizational Systems Diagnosis and Design

We will perform a customized diagnosis of your situation through assessment techniques such as questionnaires, individual face to face interviews or focus groups in order to determine and arrange the best systemic solution that facilitates change and organizational growth.

The solution might involve employee training or coaching or the design of a new work process to increase productivity or employee morale or may include a combined or a unique approach. We may also work with business leaders to move the organization forward through

Strategic Planning

We will work with the top members of an organization or department and the various constituent and stakeholder groups to plot direction, map a vision, and target actions to drive strategy. Using specific approaches to achieve common ground, develop dialogue among members, and achieve workable solutions, we develop a customized process that will guide you to produce achievable and measurable results.

Leadership Development

We believe that in order to be a good leader, you must “know thyself.” We look at leadership development as a process to gain self-awareness, valuable feedback from various sources and identify a “game-plan” for development. Skills-building and coaching then become important tools in the process.

Team Building

We will work with a team to enhance its capacity to work more effectively. Depending on the needs of the team and after assessing the team's strengths and goals, we will custom design a program or process for moving the team forward.

Workshops

2005-09-19T17:32:00.000-04:00

Communication Skills

Engaging in Conversations: Lessons from the Argentine Tango©

We engage in conversations everyday as a means of getting things done. Yet, our conversations often result in miscommunications and inaction. A communication skills-building workshop, this program looks at the act of communication from a different perspective, that of creating meaning. Drawing upon dance as a metaphor for everyday conversations, we apply lessons from the Argentine Tango as a way to better our communication skills. Through exercises of movement, role play, discussion, experience, and reflection, you will realize new ways to successfully engage in conversations, whether at work or at home, and increase your range of communication skills. For example, you will learn to listen with multiple senses and examine how you enter or leave a conversation. We deal with real situations and you will walk away with new techniques and skills to apply and use everyday.

This workshop can be customized and can be delivered in one-day or two-day formats.

Presentation Skills

This workshop can be customized to a group making specific types of presentations such as sales talks and can be delivered in one-day or two-day formats.

Coaching

2005-09-19T17:30:00.000-04:00

What is Coaching?

Coaching is a partnership that assists you in achieving your goals and making changes in your personal or professional life. In working together, we co-create actions and practices that can help you to realize results. As your coach, I can help you to achieve your goals in the areas of

enhancing communication and presentation skills

building better relationships personally or professionally

empowering and nurturing yourself

creating a more impactful presence

building your skills as a leader.

Often, we think by just changing or intensifying our actions, we can achieve our desired results. More times than not, we need to do something more. To bring about a more lasting change, we need to change our way of being, our way of seeing ourselves and the world around us. For, what you present on the outside is closely aligned to what you think and feel on the inside.

So, coaching is a learning and self-discovery process that helps you to take actions toward self-fulfillment and professional productivity.

Having been a corporate woman for more than 20 years, I understand corporate life. As your leadership and life coach, I will help you to fully live your power and passion, and take actions to stand more fully in the world.

You can expect to

lead with greater insight and authenticity

forge and strengthen key relationships

fulfill your life, career, or legacy vision

respond to work/life challenges coming from a position of personal strength

expand on strategies leading to increased productivity and satisfaction.

As a coach, I come from a place of deep caring. I will be fully present with you in creating a new future. I observe with all my senses. I will challenge you to rekindle passions, shift thoughts that no longer serve you and take new actions. I take a holistic and ontological approach to coaching. I will listen to your words as reflected in stories and how stories are told as reflected in emotion, posture, and movement. I can use self-assessment tools or 360 feedback instruments to help in the self-awareness process.
