Working with Groups at Work

Organizational change has become a constant for leaders across all organization types and industry sectors. We can assist you and your organization as you plan and execute change. We will help you answer questions like:

• How can leaders best plan, lead and support needed changes in ways that honor the past while creating an inspiring and achievable vision for the future?
  
• How can we identify and address resistance?
  
• How can leaders ensure that change goes well throughout the entire process?

We work with you to adapt proven models for change to your environment and situation.

We help you create a planning process that works for your organization, whether this occurs during the work week or in planned retreats. We assist with agendas, facilitation and followup. Most important, we teach you and your staff the tools and techniques that will bring your plans to life.

We have a broad range of experience in learning and development and can help you select the approaches and content that are right for your organization and your people. Whether through experiential or action learning, more traditional classroom skill-building, mentoring, coaching, supervisor circles, or OJT, you and your staff will learn how to apply their new knowledge and skills to a variety of challenges. Our areas of content and process expertise include many subjects, including:

• Perceptive Communications (CNG Communications Style Survey)
  
• Meeting Facilitation
• Diversity and Inclusion
• Supervisory Skills
• Using Time Effectively
• Performance Management

There are times when intensive one-on-one coaching can accelerate desired changes for the individual or for the organization. The person in charge may want a safe confidant who can assist by asking the right questions, identifying tools, or creating a plan for addressing organizational problems. Middle managers may thrive when they learn more about managing 'up', managing 'across', and managing 'down'. Professional and support staff can learn to optimize their contributions. People at all levels can learn what they can do to advance in their careers. We work with you to provide the right coach at the right time.

When it's time for someone to transition out of their job or even out of their current organization,  we can help with that change.

• Career change – Those who may be in the wrong line of work, or whose skills are outdated.

• Job search – Those who are about to lose a job, have lost a job recently, are dissatisfied with their current job, or want to create long-term goals and replace a 'job' with a meaningful career.

• “Encore” careers – For those approaching retirement who want to continue to contribute their skills and knowledge as well as continue their own life-long learning.

We work with individuals to identify strengths, bolster self-confidence, and support them as they search for new opportunities. Support may include assessment, assistance with resumes, identifying needed learning, targeting appropriate positions and potential employers, and interview preparation and follow up.
