Coaching valued professionals
What do you do when you have a very talented employee, someone who shows great promise and has terrific technical or professional skills, but is either new to a management job or just isn’t developing his or her potential as a leader after a reasonable amount of time?

She interviews leaders and peers to learn about the individual’s strengths and developmental gaps, and once she’s assessed his or her challenges and needs, creates a customized coaching process to help address issues, opportunities and barriers that are preventing the individual from achieving his or her potential.
