Giving employees the sure path to success
WHEN COACHING IS NEEDED
A company may identify, through an investigation or otherwise, that particular employees are negatively impacting company culture. This may stem from comments the individual makes that are perceived as insensitive (and, in extreme cases, overtly racist, sexist, or otherwise bigoted). Sometimes such individuals simply have a conflict-generating communication and/or management styles. They may lack the skills to ask for what they want in a more positive or motivating way.
Whatever the case, oftentimes these employees just do not realize the impact they have on others in the workplace. In such cases, one-on-one coaching may improve that person’s ability to see the effects of their* conduct and allows them to begin to find less divisive ways of achieving his goals.
Likewise, individualized sensitivity training can provide a forum wherein an individual receives feedback on how coworkers are affected by their conduct. A thorough sensitivity training will also review the basics of both legally compliant professional conduct and best practices, so an individual can move beyond simple risk-avoidance and and find an ideal workplace presence.
Sensitivity trainings are often one session of a few hours, and ideally occur face-to-face (for employees located outside of the Bay Area, Diana travels to clients or uses video conferencing). Coaching occurs on a more ongoing basis, and tracks an employee’s progress over a period of time, such as two to six months. Both coaching and training services are provided at either a flat rate or hourly fee.
