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 am very honest and self-reflective, so I can give you an honest assessment of my strengths and weaknesses.
    - This is my second management position and I have over three years of management experience, so I bring a wealth of experiences to the table to discuss. I've had many great employees and some more challenging.
    - I am a proactive learner. I like to read books and articles about management and leadership and I am open to new ideas and resources.
How this will help
This project will save us $3,283 , allowing us to invest further in the professional development of our staff and we will have more money for team-building activities.

I am an accountable and compassionate leader. I care deeply about my team and I recognize how my management style and skills impacts their effectiveness and Kids-TALK's greater mission and goals. I am always looking for ways to improve my skills and this is a great opportunity for me to grow further as a leader and be a better manager to my team.
