Possibilities
Executive and Clergy Coaching
Navigating organizational systems when you are in a leadership position can be exhilarating and challenging. Executive coaching can provide you with confidential, experienced, unbiased support, and, the ability to strategize and implement alternate approaches. Executive Coaching can be ongoing or time limited, and sessions can be scheduled in person, by phone or on Skype.
Leadership Development and Training
Ensuring that leaders are aligned with your organization's mission and vision and that they fully understand their responsibilities are critical to any organization's success. We can provide engaging board retreats, training sessions at board meetings, or individual consultations on topics that include, among others, roles and responsibilities of board members, running effective meetings, strategies for increasing volunteer and member engagement, and improving communication.
Managing Conflict
Understanding why conflict occurs, and learning how to minimize it are essential components for the success of any well-run organization. We can work with you in groups, dyads, or one-on-one to identify the roots of conflict and sensitively and skillfully provide tools and strategies to address it.
Transitions
Transitions can be times of incredible growth, change, and possibility, often accompanied by significant stress. Are you contemplating or experiencing a professional transition? Is a leadership transition underway or about to happen? Is your organization working to update its vision or service delivery to remain relevant and competitive? We can work with you to maximize the possibilities and minimize the unproductive stress on everything from resume review to transition planning to large scale visioning projects.
Understanding Organizational Dynamics, Systems and Culture
Just like families, every organization has unique norms, history and demographics that impact its culture and operations. Our listening and diagnostic skills can assist you in a clearer understanding of your organization's distinctive patterns and dynamics and identify appropriate approaches to build on that culture and work towards success.
