Elevated Facilitation Skills

The primary mistake corporate and business teams are making is assigning the facilitation of the session to the least experienced member – even an intern. Facilitation is defined as “to make easy” – which is often difficult to do. Well executed facilitation does just that for meetings, presentations, brain storming sessions, and other guided group journeys.  Facilitation excellence is more than an agenda and is a highly prized skill that saves time, launches ideas forward, and invigorates teams.

How to Work with Us

Executive and Leadership Coaching

Executive/Leadership Coaching focuses on critical areas: Leadership Identity, Change Navigation, Effective Communication, and Leadership Style. Together, we build your leadership identity through a deep understanding of your values, strengths, and vision. We coach how you navigate change strategically, and how effective is your communication in the boardroom or across the organization. These are key to conveying a compelling vision and fostering alignment. Your leadership style significantly influences team dynamics and organizational culture. By cultivating an environment where others feel at ease providing feedback, you demonstrate a commitment to your continuous improvement. This commitment becomes a testament to your leadership, allowing you to own your success while inspiring and empowering those around you to do the same. Your Executive Coaching includes the 360LiC assessment.

Executive and Leadership Coaching

Executive Leadership Team Alignment and Coaching

What is it? Leadership Alignment is the cohesive integration of individual strengths, skills, and perspectives within a leadership team to collectively pursue a shared vision and strategic goals. Achieving alignment among team members ensures a unified approach to decision-making, problem-solving, and execution of initiatives. It involves fostering open communication, trust, and a shared understanding of the organization’s mission.

I work with you and your leadership team or board to create a shared vision, strategy and implementation process. You and your team can commit to collaboration, mutual respect, and overall organizational performance. You’ll have greater success navigating challenges, capitalizing on opportunities, and fostering a resilient and high-performing leadership team.

Leadership 360 Assessment

As your Executive Coach, I will tailor our coaching sessions to address your specific needs. If you require concentrated coaching on your interpersonal communication skills, we will work together to create a professional development roadmap, utilizing my Advanced 360LiC assessment and any prior development assessments.

The 360 LiC assessment provides essential insights into how your leadership team perceives your executive leadership and presence. It will guide your success by shedding light on their expectations. This is not a traditional 360. You personally select the 6-8 stakeholders to provide the most productive feedback core. These stakeholders can range from Board members to leaders to skip levels. This assessment is meant to provide themes for change and support your leadership transformation. The Themes will guide your professional development plan.

Organizational Culture Audit

Assessing the organizational culture is essential for fostering a focused and thriving environment. The Organizational CultureTalk Audit provides invaluable insights into the current cultural landscape of the organization. By using this assessment, we can identify discrepancies between the desired and actual cultures, creating strategies to bridge these gaps. This proactive approach has the potential to enhance levels of success and foster a more positive work environment for both you and your team.

This organizational audit is particularly beneficial for newly appointed leaders seeking a deeper understanding of the existing culture. It is equally beneficial in Merger & Acquisition situations where the objective is to establish a new, unified culture. Additionally, it proves valuable for leadership tasked with revitalizing a company facing a decline in productivity and performance.

In my role as your Executive and Leadership Team Coach, I provide guidance in interpreting audit results and we will collaboratively developing plans to address any identified issues. Our shared objective is to ensure sustained success for both you and your team.

The practical exercises and real-world examples incorporated into the training allowed my team to not only grasp the theoretical aspects but also apply them immediately in our sales interactions.

The ARTiculate team is a gift to our community! They provided fun, interactive, and powerful training sessions to our nonprofit leaders, helping them enhance communication and presence.

Recently, the team guided nonprofit organizations to tell the story of their work over Zoom calls rather than written applications. The tips and tools they provided will stay with all of us beyond the Zoom calls as we continue to navigate hybrid environments.

The team is quick to respond and amazing to work with! Thank you for all you do to support our learning and leadership.
