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
Additional details
I would like to develop my management skills as I anticipate managing more individuals as our organization grows. Currently managing a single employee, I'd like to utilize my previous experience managing to become a more effective manager in this smaller organization.
What we have in place
- We currently have flexbility in current systems and schedule, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have dedicated staff with willingness to grow, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $7,248 , allowing us to focus on programming as we do not currently have a project for professional development for staff.
Our organization is well poised for growth and I am looking forward to develop management skills in anticipation of a larger development team in the next several years.

Testimonials
Kyle was a fantastic volunteer that provided prepared, thoughtful, and engaging coaching to me for approximately three months. Some of the conversations proved incredibly challenging as I was confronted with issues that I needed to work through to further my professional development. These difficult conversations were managed by Kyle in a thoughtful and respectful way that truly helped me grow as a professional. I am so grateful for Kyle's support in providing crucial skills coaching that will serve me well both in my current position and future roles that I might hold.
Working with a professional from LEAP was an inspiring experience. My client expressed such a deep desire to succeed, commitment to the welfare of her team and organization, and to their cause. Further, my client followed through well and put in the "hard work" of pursuing the established goals. Commitment to goals and being accountable to the action items is powerful combination!
