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

Our company's youth program has recently added an Area Management layer and we have 3 new managers. We're looking for some outside coaching that will help improve their managerial and leadership skills.

What we have in place
  • We have 3 managers, a Program Director and myself the Exec Dir all on board and bought in to getting better. We meet on a weekly basis and were thinking we could include a coaching session into that meeting every week or every other week.
How this will help
This project will save us $6,638 , allowing us to excel our programs and grow them. We are in a space where there is a high demand. We are limited in our growth until our management is fully trained and able to properly manage.

Our organization has a lot of moving parts and personalities and it takes a skilled manager to juggle everything they are responsible for. Our managers oversee a program where there are Coordinators and Job Coaches managing case loads of youth with disabilities in pursuing their vocational goals.
