Current Career Development Coaching

For managers, the modern workplace is a source of increasing pressure, demanding competitive productivity, quality and high interpersonal skills. Formal training programs can improve effectiveness, but they are often lengthy, non issue specific, and impersonal. You want to address your specific needs to swiftly develop the skills that drive your career.

Tiger Woods, Pavoratti, Gretzky, John Chambers. The most exceptional performers in the world got where they are today with great coaching and mentoring. According to a 2003 US-wide survey, coaching services are presently used in 58% percent of US organizations and over 60% of coached managers said that the process yielded a return of 5.7 times the initial investment.

Is Cobblestone Coaching Right For You? Ask Yourself The Following:

• Do I feel capable of higher levels of performance?
• Am I overwhelmed by day-to-day details?
• Am I focusing too much time on low-value activities?
• Could I be more strategic and effective at what I do?
• Am I working too much "in" my career and not enough "on" my career?
• Am I working too hard and making too little?
• Do I need an objective review of what's working and what's not in my career?
• Am I clear on my personal or business goals?
• Could I gain from personal and professional development?
• Do I have the resources and time to properly plan my career direction alone?

When you work harder and harder on the wrong tasks, your personal and business lives become complex, cloudy and confusing. You lose concentration, miss opportunities, adopt bad habits, fall into comfort zones and underutilize your talents. Frustration level goes up and freedom goes down. We help you to learn, think, and act effectively.
