Making Workplaces Work Better

When to Use DRA Coaching Services

Coaching for Executives, Managers & Supervisors:

·         When it’s lonely at the top – Support for your agenda, increased clarity, better decision making, more effective strategic thinking, fresh ideas ....

·         When being groomed to advance – Clarify career and developmental goals, maximize potential, formulate and implement action plan

·         When there is pressure to improve – Increase insight, awareness and responsibility, sharpen learning skills for performance

Coaching for Key Employees and Other Staff:

DRA coaching services should be considered when there is a mutual interest by both the employer and employee to positively address a performance, communication, or career development issue.  If a negative performance appraisal documents something that needs to change, the employee can be asked to "consider" using a coach, or "invited" to use a professional coach; generally this will be taken as a sign of support, not punishment.  It may be helpful to spell out the intention to offer coaching services as support.

Coaching is a tailored one-on-one intervention that works in collaboration with the employee, the employee’s manager, and sometimes involves HR. Assessment, 360° feedback, coaching, style instruments (conflict management style or leadership style, for example), and action plans are all used as part of this effective process to address change and make decisions.

Coaching is a powerful tool to quickly move forward with goals, ambitions and developmental needs. We have successfully addressed interpersonal issues, habits that people have wanted to change, new skills they wish to build …. We can also assist in achieving professional and personal life balance, working through a difficult time of transition, or toward career advancement goals.
