Individual coaching is strictly one-on-one, with topics and the durations based on the clients needs. Utilizing the International Coaching Federation (ICF) model and standards, all conversations are confidential and conducted in accordance with the ICF ethical standards. In an atmosphere of trust, the client sets timeline and the agenda for hourly engagements. The minimal engagement time is three months at the proscribed rate.
Business Team development uses the Everything DiSC assessments chosen and customized by the client. DiSC results will identify one of four DiSC styles for each participant and will include team building for improved group dynamics. Team development will be addressed in an orderly fashion top down, starting with the business purpose, vision, and vision statement, and then moving on to the mission, mission statement, and Corporate Core Purpose.

It is considered a best practice for businesses of any size to regularly evaluate their corporate culture. Strategy and culture are closely intertwined, but the relationship between culture and leadership is particularly inseparable. When culture is aligned with strategy and leadership, it has a significant impact on driving positive organizational outcomes. An organization's culture is greatly influenced by its purpose, vision, mission, and core values. It is crucial for the company's values and norms to be clearly communicated and shared across the entire organization. Conducting periodic corporate culture reviews helps ensure that there is alignment and synergy between the organization's purpose, strategy, vision, and mission.
John’s DEI certification and Kristi’s firsthand experiences as a trailblazing female engineer give them a deep understanding of what approaches yield positive outcomes and what should be avoided.
