Heads Up Coaching and Consulting

Executive Coaching
The backbone of executive development, coaching provides laser-like focus on exactly those behaviors and competencies that today’s leaders need to reach optimum performance. We provide one-on-one customized coaching for the newly promoted leader, high-potential employee, or other executive looking to tap into greater potential, performance and satisfaction.

Communication Coaching
Great leaders can inspire, educate and inform those around them. The ability to articulate a strategy and communicate a course of action is critical if an organization is to be truly aligned. With our proven techniques, executives can learn to create memorable messages and deliver them with impact, whether it’s informal interpersonal communication or a formal presentation. Using video-based practice, we help leaders understand their own communication style and presence, identify distracting vocal and non-verbal habits, and learn to speak and listen more effectively. Through deeper listening and effective message delivery, leaders can -- and do -- develop Executive Presence.
New Leader Integration
The first few weeks and months of a new assignment are absolutely critical for today’s executives. Focused coaching can help new leaders assimilate quickly into the new environment, build alliances, evaluate staff, implement strategy, and communicate powerfully for an extra-strong start.
Coaching for Sales Professionals
Salespeople and their managers face unique performance and motivation challenges. Using role-specific assessment tools and expert development approaches, we help sales professionals target critical competencies and behaviors for improvements that translate into better results right now. Coaching and training are available for individuals and groups, for top performers, and for sales managers.
Fundamentals for Leaders
While each leadership situation has unique elements, there are fundamental skills underlying every leader's effectiveness. We work with leaders to help them understand the interpersonal -- and thus emotional -- aspects of their role, and identify ways that they can connect more effectively and authentically with others.
Basics of Management
For individuals and groups of new managers, we provide structured training and coaching on a variety of skills that are critical to new managers, including delegation, managing performance, communication, effective meetings, talent management, and other topics.
Team Alignment
Is your team truly aligned, or is it really just a collection of talented individuals focused on their own accountabilities? When does it benefit a work group to be more of a team, and how do leaders create high performance teams? Using situational analysis, assessments like the MBTI and group process skills, we help leaders and their teams maximize productivity and achieve true synergy.
GROUP SEMINARS
Seminars can provide immediate “lift” to an organization’s skill set. We customize all programs in order to guarantee successful outcomes. Satisfied clients have asked for and received programs on Coaching and Managing Performance, Effective Presentation Skills, Behavioral Interviewing Skills, Communication Style, Executive Presence, Team Effectiveness, and other management, leadership and communication topics.
