Organizational performance improvement happens one person at a time. Coaching is a cost-effective way to apply employee development resources in service of organizational performance.
Organizational change programs are far more effective when we also coach the people in those organizations, because we can give adequate attention to the the needs of the individual. Coaching key people is a high-leverage approach to elevating organizational performance.
In dynamic problem-solving organizations, organizational performance hinges on personal performance. Coaching your people helps you to achieve breakthrough improvements in project performance and organizational performance.
In political crises in organizations, the difficulty of finding a path that preserves both our integrity and our safety can seem overwhelming. I coach managers and executives in organizational politics, especially in extreme situations, when careers or organizational survival are at stake.
I coach managers, project managers and project teams to attain new levels of personal and project performance, in organizational politics, in project management technology, and in project dynamics, especially as it relates to interpersonal dynamics.
But for some situations, coaching is most effective if we can meet in person, and when we can do that, pricing depends on your location and the length of my visit. Contact me for more information.
But these tools are only some of the tools in the project manager's kit. The tools of interpersonal relationship and the tools of the Self are in some ways even more important.

These techniques make project managers and project teams more effective. As one project manager I've coached has remarked, "Thanks to Rick's help I have reached a new level of project leadership by working at the process level. Since working with Rick, I have found a place of calm enabling me to lead a project three times the size of any project I have previously managed."
