The most effective leaders know that before they can lead others, they must first lead themselves. A coach can help you bring forth more of your talents as a leader, building on your key strengths to maximize your impact.

As a business leader, people look to you for guidance and stability. The economic landscape has left many employees living in fear, scarred from the battles they’ve faced in their own lives. Many feel lucky just to have jobs in this economy.

And they’re still leaving…

Despite the fact that jobs are scarce in many places, recent studies have shown that employee engagement is at an all-time low. What are you doing to be proactive and to ensure that you can hire, train, and retain the most qualified people?

“Success or failure in business is caused more by the mental attitude even than by mental capacities.” - Walter Scott

To succeed in this changing environment, you must be prepared to take a different approach. Shake things up. When you take the initiative to develop yourself as a leader, you show that you are committed to your own success. It sends a powerful message to everyone you work with, and lets them know that your standards are high; especially when it comes to yourself!

As your coach, I am committed to you becoming the successful person you want to be – not just in your business but in every area of your life.

Do you struggle to get your team moving in the same direction? Ever feel like no one is really listening to you, or doing what needs to be done to meet organizational goals? Is it a struggle to get your employees to put personal differences aside and work together toward common goals? Is good communication something you wish your team had?

Communication is a must if your organization is going to survive and thrive in today’s business world. Your team’s ability to function is directly impacted by their ability to communicate effectively.

Let’s face facts – conflict can and will happen. The question is: Do you have strategies in place to handle them without alienating members of your team? Is it possible to resolve conflicts and at the same time strengthen teamwork?

Hire me to come into your organization and bring my 25+ years of corporate leadership and management experience to bear on training your team to communicate more effectively, resolve conflict in new and novel ways, embrace change and let go of fear, and to become the highly functioning, motivated team you’ve always wanted.

I bring cutting-edge training and coaching techniques and combine them to create a powerful and effective approach to group dynamics and interpersonal relationships. This is not some theory-based approach developed in a classroom. These are real-world, useable strategies that will yield results in the workplace and help management teams to understand how to manage change and effectively direct human performance.

How well does your team work together? I’m not just talking about how well they “get things done,” but how effective are they in cutting through interpersonal conflicts and working as a highly functioning team, aligning their goals with the company, and working with enthusiasm and passion? How much does poor teamwork cost your company in terms of lost productivity and bottom-line revenue? Think it’s a small amount? Think again!

Using Human Needs Psychology as a foundation, I will help your organization to develop a powerful, cohesive, and productive team environment. Human Needs Psychology provides an elegant, and surprisingly functional model from which people can learn how they have established the behavioral patterns in their lives, the importance they place on each of their needs, the vehicles or methods they use to meet those needs, and how they make decisions in their lives based on all those factors.

When you can meet people’s needs in positive ways, and at the same time support their values, you have the ability to create teams that will far outperform their counterparts and you will instill a sense of loyalty that is uncommon in today’s work environment.

Cutting Edge Coaching & Consulting features a robust offering of services for Project and Portfolio Management professionals. Beginning with “The Human Factor in Project Management,” Kevin has structured a unique learning program for participants that takes the standard approach to human resources issues that many companies face, and turns it on its ear! In this one-day, hands-on workshop, participants will learn about their own behavior patterns, what drives them, and the key decisions that they made about who they are and how they “should” behave in the world. They will also learn how to understand others, recognize their patterns, and then to utilize the strengths and talents of the entire team in order to build powerful, highly functional project teams.

Cutting Edge Coaching & Consulting also offers the next step for teams through Team Coaching. By working together with functional project teams, Kevin is able to set a baseline for understanding, establish clear communication channels, and help the entire team to stay focused on organizational objectives while honoring individual needs and values.

For Executive Sponsors, Kevin offers coaching that will help leaders to embrace their roles, find ways to enhance their ability to influence others, and to gain valuable buy-in from Executive Steering Committees for key projects. Kevin also helps sponsors to work through the always-difficult project selection process, creating strategies that will help leaders to objectively determine which projects should be undertaken and which ones tabled.
