Business Consulting

- Counseling            - Life Coaching


Identifying key elements to build the skills that lead to success. Establishing a business consulting relationship is one of the best investments that you can make in your business. Each consulting relationship is customized to your particular needs. The initial session will help to determine the areas of growth that will be our targets. Below is a list of common consulting areas.

 

Business Consulting can consist of several areas, including:

Motivational | Executive Mentoring | Communications | Conflict Resolution | Team Synergy | Family Business

Motivational

Feel like you could make more of an impact on your employees? Do you have trouble “getting through” to members of your team? Great first impressions, communication skills and influential leadership techniques will be perfected. Everything from speeches and presentations to staff and board meetings to one-on-one mentoring will be covered and examined and exercised.

To motivate your team, you may ask the following:

  • Are you, or your employees “stuck in a rut”?
  • Are you, and your employees satisfied with the work you do?
  • How can you help your team “own” their work?
  • How can we build a stronger team?
  • Is my own work quality and professional?

Executive Mentoring

Do you feel like you could use a mentor? When a manager or executive needs someone experienced, unbiased and confidential with whom to process decisions, we can offer a professional and thoughtful discourse, leading to your ability to make better decisions, find balance, and create process more efficiently.

Conflict Resolution

Are inner-office “politics” and bickering causing discord in your team? Are you suffering from personality clashes? Conflict is natural in human interaction and conflict is actually good and necessary when resolved as a win-win. What matters is our attitude towards conflict, and especially how we respond to it.

Learn techniques to capitalize on those workplace conflicts, using the opportunity to resolve underlying issues, spark creative ideas and create a more unified and open team environment.

Team Synergy

Ever been told you need to be a “team player”? Or do you have a group of individuals in your workplace that need to unite to become a team? A team player is sensitive to the needs, feelings and motivations of his or her colleagues. Learn how to cultivate the “team player” in yourself and foster the team mentality in your employees.

Family Business

Is your mom your boss? Does your brother handle the family business finances? Your family business can be successful because of the “family,” or it can fail for the same reason. If you are in a business environment where the relationships are defined both as a family tree, and a business hierarchy, than you understand that the lines of authority can blur and the edict of responsibility can cause conflict. Family businesses have a set of specific characteristics that require a unique skill set in the consultant. Learn how to balance the unique relationships, personalities, and conflicts when family is involved in your business.
