Team Coaching services include three- and six-month long engagements. Each engagement is customized to your organization’s unique needs and specific outcomes.
Our process includes:
Assessing Development Needs
Using workshops and surveys, we calibrate a team’s potential and understanding for the specific need for change and roles, responsibilities, and the outcomes expected of the team and its members.
Establishing the Roadmap and Checklist
Based on feedback and anecdotal data from the assessment stage, Prior Consulting develops a Roadmap of immediate action steps for the team. The goal at this stage is to foster a mindset and culture that “sticks.”
Implementing and Coaching to the Plan
Over the course of the engagement, Prior Consulting works with the team to integrate expectations and insights into ongoing leadership and performance management activities. If applicable, the team participates in Producer/Manager/Leader® as Coach© work.
Measuring Success
At the end of the coaching engagement, we’ll compare progress against the identified measures of success, and identify follow up plans.
