Executive Coaching
Do you spend an inordinate amount of time solving people problems?

Senior managers often need a highly skilled, confidential sounding board to help with important decisions and strategies regarding the people in their organization. We help you sort out people problems and make better decisions by providing professional expertise, an objective perspective, and by understanding the unique pressures of leadership at the senior management level.

STRATEGIC PLANNING
Are the day-to-day actions of the people in your organization guided by a company-wide plan that they believe in?

All methods for improving organizations depend upon a clearly stated strategic plan that makes sense to all members of your organization, and that drives all key activities. We help you conduct the planning process in a way that achieves optimal involvement at each level of the organization.

Organizational design
Do the same problems seem to recur over and over? Is it possible your organization is designed to create those problems?

The best laid plans will not succeed if your organization is designed to fail. We provide a sequence of analytical tools which make it possible to eliminate the unnecessary and design an organization that supports your core work process in the most efficient way possible.

DIVERSITY TRAINING AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION
Are the diverse personalities within your organization a source of strength or debilitating conflict?

The strength and value of an organization is largely determined by how well it can tap the intelligence, innovation and commitment of an increasingly diverse work force. We work to identify the common ground that binds people together. We increase the awareness, understanding, and appreciation by which differences can become opportunities. We transform conflict into the productive dynamism of a diverse work force committed to a common goal.

PARTNERING, COMMUNITY AND TEAM BUILDING
Does the quality of your teamwork make it possible for people in your organization to make the most of stress and change?

Probably the greatest impediment to success in any organization is the tendency to waste time, money and energy on personal conflicts and misunderstandings. Our process builds a collaborative community, starting at the senior management level. People learn how to harness the energy of change and stress to a constructive problem-solving process. Teamwork is built within work groups, between work groups, and between organizations.

He was a breath of fresh air for a troubled state hospital system that had received a lot of negative publicity. He was able to deal with the conflict within our organization and gain consensus. With his guidance, we were able to develop a long-term strategic plan that, for the first time in our history, takes us more than a year into the future.

Diversity is just as crucial to the strength of an organization as it is to the viability of an ecosystem. The challenge is, how do you harness that diversity so that it doesn't manifest in conflict and discord? Kim was able to get the very diverse talents and personalities of our organization to work cooperatively and effectively together.
