Individual

Career/Job Search Coaching

The Career/Job Search Coaching Program is designed to empower clients to develop and advance in their careers. While there is a prescribed structure to the program, each engagement is tailored to the needs of the individual client. The starting point is always the client's expressed needs. Confidentiality, boundaries and expectations are identified and set in a realistic time frame. With each client there is a serious commitment to serve their needs with candor and integrity.

While the Career/Job Search Coaching Program is a process, there are defined elements common to each engagement and addressed with each client. Some of the elements and related issues covered in consultation and through workbook exercises include: control of emotions and finances, commitment to schedule and management of time, record keeping and follow up, search strategies and marketing channels, self assessment, defining the ideal, defining one's goals, developing a marketing message, interview preparation, responding to common questions, countering objections, roleplaying and negotiating strategies.

Executive Coaching

Executive Coaching is a pro-active approach toward managing the pressures and stresses of executive life. If the saying, "it is lonely at the top" holds any merit, then the need for executive coaching takes on a certain urgency, for key leaders and decision makers who lack a sounding board can quickly find themself out of touch with reality. Even more frightening and potentially more costly is being out of touch with reality and not knowing it. The executive coach serves in part as a touch-stone.

Executive Coaching, while not a new phenomenon, is taking on greater importance in the lives of executives, managers and professionals. As risks escalate, as competition increases, as more is being demanded, the resulting pressures and stresses of business life can take a toll. And beyond the immediate pressures of the everyday job add the stress of managing one's career and the responsibilities of one's personal/family life. Under such pressures the ability to remain clear minded and even tempered is jeopardized. Yet being clear minded and even tempered is critical when analyzing problems, making decisions, communicating and interacting with others. Ill conceived solutions, poorly made decisions, mis-communications and damage to relationships can be extremely costly in terms of productivity, losses and liabilities.

 When planning for retirement most people think of securing investments and saving that will allow them an independent living. As important as this is, to ignore the non-financial aspects of retirement is flirting with anxiety, boredom and depression. Without non-financial retirement planning one is merely retiring from work but not to a potentially full future. It is a passive approach to planning, letting circumstances dictate. One is moving away, rather than toward an enriching future. Studies have shown that to retire passively is an invitation for disaster physically, mentally, psychologically and socially.

The one-on-one Non-Financial Retirement Planning program that Executive Coaching & Consulting offers challenges, supports and guides its clients through uncharted territory. The program focuses on planning and living a full and balanced life in light of the circumstances and responsibilities one has.

Every person in the workplace needs to manage their career. This is more important today than it was in years past. And one can not manage their career without the proper tools, the first of which is having a high impact resume that articulates a strong marketing message.

Given that opportunity can knock at unexpected times, one needs to maintain a current resume.

Executive Coaching & Consulting works closely with many talented writers and editors to create a tailored resume for you.

Corporate

Leadership Development

At the core of all great organizations are talented leaders working in concert toward a common, well defined goal. An organization needs leaders at all levels, and at each level the leadership needs differ. From delegating and motivating, to conflict resolution and team building, to visioning and strategic planning, leadership skills are a critical ingredient for success.

Executive Coaching & Consulting, along with its alliances, has a number of leadership programs that can be tailored to address the specific leadership needs of your organization.

Outplacement

As companies continually adjust to increase their competitive edge, or as they take more drastic measures to curb slumping sales and financial downturns, dismissals, downsizing and early retirements have become common realities. Concurrently, companies are accepting the responsibility of providing support through some form of outplacement.

Given current technologies, outplacement no longer needs a brick and mortar face. Virtual outplacement offers advantages to both the company and dismissed employee.

Executive Coaching & Consulting works with executives, managers and professionals who need outplacement support in their job search. EC&C and its affiliates provide resume development, strategies for self-marketing and resume distribution, and comprehensive coaching services, workbook exercises and on-going, individualized consultation. Testimonials from a variety of clients speak to their satisfaction and the success of its services.

Succession Planning

Who are the leaders your company will rely on tomorrow? in two years? in five years? Are they on board? Are they prepared? Are they "waiting in the wings" unchallenged?

In today's fast paced business, Succession Planning is no longer a luxury. For a company to have voids in its leadership ranks for any extended period, or to have poorly prepared leaders poses unnecessary stress and potential liability to the company. Succession Planning is part of your company's strategy for success.

Small Group Facilitation

Charting your company's future and the many and sometimes complex decisions that support its strategy is a process that, even in the best of situations, is frought with stress. As a mix of leaders with differing values, orientation, experiences and agendas gather to make decision it is only natural that conflict will arise. Managing the dynamics of such a group is best handled by an outside, objective facilitator.
