Coaching
1:1 Coaching Elevating any habit requires a process of assessment, feedback, and practice. You need a good coach to guide you. In my 1:1 coaching, I help clients develop communication habits they can use in any setting to be more influential.
Group Coaching When changing a habit, we need expert instruction and feedback. Peer groups offer perspectives and feedback we need to make the habit stick. When several groups in the same organization follow speak UP strategies, everyone benefits.
Executive Coaching Leadership relies on high level communication to facilitate change. Executives who succeed know when a communication strategy is needed and serve as the example for what is needed.
Consulting
Building a Strong Corporate Culture is intentional and relies on input from multiple people within the organization. It also requires a thoughtful, strategic plan.
I will guide you in developing a strong communication plan that builds a mission-aligned culture.
Developing a Communication Plan for Change requires multiple communication strategies and channels.
