How Tom Can Help

Coaching-Consulting

“Know thyself,” said Socrates. With coaching you can do that, discovering your greatness and using it as a foundation to be naturally and confidently effective. Tapping into you intrapersonally will position you to engage interpersonally. You will come to use your style to negotiate effectively with others and then to influence and lead them. If coaching leaves you stuck, brief, overt guidance will get you flowing again.

Exercises

Typically exercises are folded into coaching, but they can be distinct interventions to help you unpack yourself and elect strategies to interact effectively with others.

Assessments

Here too, assessments are normally incorporated into coaching. At times, however, they may be initiators. Working through assessments, such as ones to find your strengths or to compare your style to others, will stimulate valuable discoveries and rich planning.
