Individual Coaching

Phase One - Discovery:

During the Discovery phase, a client works with their Change Masters coach and an internal sponsor. The coach and sponsor help the client define his or her goals and assess 21 key areas of communication and leadership. Next, Change Masters conducts a customized telephone survey of the client’s co-workers as chosen by the client and sponsor.

ExecutiveThe interview results are compiled into a survey report. The report serves as a guide to role-playing scenarios acted out between coach and client on the first day of coaching. We videotape the role-playing in order to provide the client with an “as others see you” perspective. Videotaping also enables the coach to provide immediate feedback. The next coaching day includes a review of the videotapes and coaching the client in new skills and behaviors.

Following that, the client receives a Development Report and a customized training DVD from the coaching sessions to use as reminders of the new behaviors available to them. Clients receive audio recordings on a personalized MP3 player and auto adaptor for session review.

 

 

Phase - Integration: Two

During the Integration phase, clients embark on a period of intense practice so that the new, more productive behaviors become second nature over the course of the next twelve months.

Coach and client focus on the areas of communication where the client wants to improve. During a review meeting, the coach, client and sponsor develop a yearlong plan built around Perception Management Objectives; specific steps the client wants to take in order to improve his or her communication skills.

Finally, the client chooses a Feedback Team who provide instant reaction and ongoing feedback as the client puts new behaviors into practice in the workplace. The client’s Feedback Team takes part in two formal feedback surveys during the year. Each survey is followed by a conference call among the coach, client and sponsor to discuss feedback survey results and plan for next steps to fine tune behaviors.

ExecutiveUnique to Change Masters, Coach Conversations™ feed a steady diet of customized tips and positive reinforcement to clients during the Integration Phase. These weekly dispatches of seven-minute sound files are delivered via e-mail. Clients can listen and re-listen at their leisure, either on a computer or a portable player provided.

Some levels of service include “hands on” assistance with specific issues, processes and approaches to organizational change, media coaching, negotiations, and presentation development.

 

Make yourself into a natural-born leader ...

Two PeopleThe age old question about whether leaders are born or make is no longer relevant. Some personalities seem to take more comfortably to leadership positions, but most of the great leaders developed the communication and interpersonal skill and became natural-born leaders. We have individually coached over 2,000 leaders and we have seen the story told over and over about the top leader who early in life did not see themselves that way. We know there are skills and awarenesses that can be learned. We specialize in greatly accelerating that learning process. Results are typically observable in only a few months. Clients tell us they think about what they learned at Change Masters ten or fifteen year after their coaching.

Change Masters specializes in one-on-one training for executives who want to reach the highest levels of success. We focus on improving communication skills and leadership “presence”; essential qualities for executives who aspire to top leadership positions. Those who master these skills find themselves operating to greater effect and efficiency, as well as gaining support from people at all levels of their organization. Executive Leadership Presence (ELP) reveals a critical piece of information to executives: how others perceive them. Why is this so important? Because perception is reality, and that’s reflected in this fundamental principle that shapes all our programs at Change Masters; we judge ourselves by our intentions and others by their behaviors.

We are selective in the clients we accept into the process. The appropriate process depends on the objectives of the client and the experience level of the coach for the development needs. Once accepted, we are confident enough of our results that we offer a money-back guarantee.
