COACHING FOR PERSONAL CHANGE

Coaching for Personal Change (CPC) is a developmental program designed especially for valued leaders who are encountering interpersonal, behavioral, cultural, or skill issues that are hindering their professional effectiveness, on-the-job performance, or career opportunities.  While focusing on improving these counterproductive tendencies, this program also leverages the talent and preserves the motivation that brought these managers to their current level of success.

Based on Turknett’s highly successful Executive Development Program, CPC is more intensive and requires more direct involvement of the participant’s manager.  The program is customized to the situation and needs of the individual, but typically consists of eight to ten 1-½ hour confidential sessions with a senior leadership consultant (Ph.D. business psychologist) over an 8-10 month period.  The process includes customized assessments, feedback, coaching, and observations. On- site visits to observe meetings or work environments can also be included.

Coaching for Personal Change helps leaders:

• Gain new insights about their management style, interpersonal style, competencies, and organization needs

• Identify and change any ineffective and inappropriate behaviors, including “blind spots” that are apparent from the assessment data

• Develop new, more effective leadership capabilities

• Maintain and improve overall performance

• Enhance their career prospects

• Achieve a higher level of leadership thinking using the Constructive Developmental Process

Benefits and expected results:

• The organization retains valuable leadership talent who might otherwise derail

• The participant becomes aware of the dysfunctional effects of ineffective/inappropriate behavior and skills

• The participant changes behaviors and acquires new skills through one-on-one professional, third party coaching, mentoring, and counseling in a “psychologically safe” setting

• The participant’s productivity, working relationships, and teamwork improves

• The participant learns new employee development techniques, including effective coaching

• The organization demonstrates support for valued employees by investing in their development
