Valued Leader Coaching

 The loss to an organization of a key leader, either a senior manager or a high potential mid level member of an organization, can set the organization back significantly in terms of both the cost to replace them and lack of productivity during the time a replacement is being sought and later trained. We feel the benefit of helping a key leader to be highly successful through coaching far outweighs the cost.  There are few initiatives that will have a better return on investment than hiring an effective executive coach for your organization. It is our experience that coaching can help save an executive who needs to change certain behaviors and can also help a high potential person maximize his or her contribution to an organization.

 Coaching is always done by Chuck Wolfe. He has been coaching valued leaders for over thirty years.  His approach is unique since his background includes:

¨   Working as a counselor and therapist when he was affiliated with a psychiatrist

¨   Educated in individual and organizational behavior at Harvard Business School

¨   Working fulltime in Training and Organization Development for Exxon, and ten years as Director of Management Development for The Hartford before starting his own company in 1994

¨   In 1999 he formed a strategic alliance with the pioneering psychologists, Peter Salovey, Dean of Yale College, Jack Mayer, and David Caruso to help them find ways to apply their scientific discoveries to the workplace.

 Chuck has an ability to quickly generate trust with his clients and share with them his insights into individual and organizational behavior that enables his clients and their teams to achieve their potential. He has created the Emotion Roadmap which is a unique way to apply the ability based model of Emotional Intelligence in his work as a coach.

 Many references from senior leaders in organizations are available.  Three written references are available in the section of the web called About Us.

The Emotionally Intelligent Performance Discussions

& Talent Management Workshop

 This customized half day or one day workshop represents a targeted application of the science of Emotional Intelligence that generates inspired team performance. This workshop teaches a method for team planning that helps teams have meaningful dialog about roles and responsibilities and the competencies necessary to accomplish their present and future work. When team members discuss with their leader the performance needed to accomplish immediate and strategic goals, rather than simply reviewing the past, the entire emotional tone becomes much more positive and the resulting discussion more effective. The workshop also teaches methods to identify when talented individuals need more challenges and opportunities for growth and what to do about it.  This highly interactive workshop will help you enhance performance and manage talent throughout your organization.  Tom Peters has written about these innovations in his journal, “On Achieving Excellence.” For additional information click on the link, Inspired Team Performance.

The New Leader – Managing the Change

 This is a customized consulting intervention designed to immediately strengthen the effectiveness of a new manager or leader.  Interestingly enough there is very little money or effort to help a new leader to successfully engage his or her team.  The amount to recruit the leader can easily be over $100,000 and yet few organizations avail themselves of the opportunity to maximize the leader’s chances for a quick and efficient orientation and integration.

The Emotionally Intelligent Teacher

 There is a need to help our children to become emotionally intelligent. In order to do so it is critical that we provide their teachers with the knowledge we have gained about the science and application of Emotional Intelligence in the workplace.  Chuck Wolfe worked with Bruce Alster, an award winning principal, to develop a one day program to help teachers learn how to use EI to improve classroom management, to get along better with parents, peers and principals.
