Management Skills Coaching

Project details

What we need
  • Initial assessment of areas of strength, targets for improvement and specific areas of focus desired for the coaching sessions
  • Up to 6 coaching sessions exploring areas such as motivation, empowerment, collaboration, communication, giving / receiving feedback & conflict management
  • Wrap-up session with actionable steps and advice moving forward as a manager
Additional details

the deliverables align with what I am looking for

What we have in place
  • We currently have a mixed roster of new and seasoned contracted staff with various levels of experience.
How this will help
This project will save us $7,248 , allowing us to minimize the number of outside vendors we would bring in to offer this level of training.

This project will be of specific support to me as a relatively new director. Additionally, it will help our organization meet its goals in establishing a framework for clear communication between management and staff.
