The Best Coaching Tools
Individualized assessment approach. Your coaching experience will be completely personalized. When carefully selected based on your needs and aspirations, assessments are an efficient way to gain a snapshot of your strengths and weaknesses, preferences and values. Work-related behaviors, day-to-day encounters with employees and managers are viewed with an eye to increasing productivity, self-awareness and bottom line results. One or two assessments are often used to quick-start your customized coaching process.
360 degree assessments. Frequently recommended, they offer a multi-faceted view of how your style and behaviors are perceived by others—superiors, peers, subordinates, and significant stakeholders. 360’s are popular because they work! When done with Dr. Lacey, you choose the people to involve. It can be done exclusively with work colleagues, or exclusively with friends and family, or a combination. Only those people whose opinions are valuable to you are included.
Leadership and Culture. Your company is sensitive to your behavior. Intimately connected, your organization culture is a direct result of your leadership style and attributes. The easiest (or perhaps the hardest!) way to change your company culture is to change what you pay attention to. Cultural assessment coupled with mindful awareness gives you the power to create the organization of your choice.
Confidentiality must be considered. As part of every coaching commitment the conditions that make it feel safe for you to explore your leadership style are identified. Your preferences for confidentiality and privacy are of the utmost importance, and will always be respected. Frequently, busy executives prefer a private, confidential coaching experience. The choice is yours—always.
