A program that takes an individual newcomer’s personal characteristics into account and encourages proactive behaviors that will help that executive be more successful in:

• developing relationships to more effectively work with existing staff;
• gaining the necessary information about corporate history and culture to adapt more quickly with effective behavior patterns and to gain organizational commitment sooner;
• create early wins to build team confidence.

Executive Onboarding has been proven to produce valuable outcomes such as high job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and job performance in addition to lowering turnover rates and decreasing intent to quit. It helps facilitate the quick development of role clarity, self-efficacy, social acceptance, and knowledge of organizational culture.

These sessions are designed to prepare executives for new assignments, to succeed in challenging roles, and to continue career development for future roles as delineated by the corporate succession plan or changing market environment.

An extensive toolbox of standardized assessments that require interpretation by a qualified coach. Some of these tools are:

• 360° Feedback:
  A tool where executives are provided perspectives from themselves and others (including their boss, peers, direct reports, customers, and/or suppliers) in an objective, non-threatening, confidential manner that offers important data for self-reflection and self-awareness, plus assists in identifying individual development needs and action items.
• Conflict Dynamics Profile:
  This profile is an assessment instrument dealing with conflict behaviors in the workplace.  The tool provides a powerful way to improve self-awareness of what triggers conflict in individuals as well as how they respond to conflict. Based on these triggers and responses, the Conflict Dynamics Profile then provides practical approaches for improving behaviors that promote more effective workplace conflict resolution.
• Emotional Intelligence (EQ):
  Nobody questions the importance of emotional intelligence to career or performance success.  Research over the last 20 years indicates that EQ accounts for 15% - 45% of success on a job compared to a person’s IQ, which is said to account for 6% of success on a job.  Furthermore, EQ directly relates to performance and bottom line success.
• Firo-B: 
  The Firo-B is a powerful tool used for understanding and improving human relations in teams, towards the culture, and in dyadic relationships.  The way individuals relate to one another reveals information about the individual unique set of interpersonal wants and needs. This instrument measures a key element of “Emotional Intelligence,” the ability to read interpersonal situations and interact for mutually rewarding results.   It’s an excellent instrument to use in team building workshops or leadership coaching.
