Management Skills Coaching

Project details

What we need
  • Initial assessment of areas of strength, targets for improvement and specific areas of focus desired for the coaching sessions
  • Up to 6 coaching sessions exploring areas such as motivation, empowerment, collaboration, communication, giving / receiving feedback & conflict management
  • Wrap-up session with actionable steps and advice moving forward as a manager
What we have in place
  • I have had the opportunity to lead a few leadership classes in different settings: for businesses, outdoor leadership expeditions, and climbing advocates. I have certainly learned a lot during this setting, and I believe that a coaching experience would provide me with challenges and a path to strengthen my own techniques and skills as a leader
How this will help
This project will save us $7,248 , allowing us to become a more efficient team and reach higher goals with better leadership skills.

I have been the Executive Director of Acceso PanAm for the past 9 years. Two years ago, we expanded to include three part-time staff that live in different countries. Last year, we had to downsize to just myself and one part-time employee. The organization would certainly benefit from an improvement in my management skills and solutions outside the (my) box. The past year has shown some challenges regarding teamwork and communication and I believe I can reasses my own skills to further develop them and become a better leader.
