Career planning/pathing is a specialized form of coaching for high-potential employees or current leaders as a way of helping them become more successful in their careers. It may be used in a variety of circumstances, but career planning/pathing is often appropriate when an organization's leadership is evaluating and grooming a next generation of either family or non-family employees to take on additional responsibility. See how our career planning/pathing service can help your organization.

The pace of change is faster than it has ever been before. To remain successful, organizations must keep up with all sorts of changes: technology, market conditions, government regulation, employee needs, customer desires, and many others. Organizations often make the correct strategic decision requiring change but need help implementing the necessary change. Often, the challenges are not due to the “content” of the change; they result from how the change was implemented. See how our change management service can help prepare, implement, and reinforce the change your organization faces.

In conflict management, often the two (or more) parties at odds have become so emotionally invested in their position or belief that they’re unable to view the issues objectively. This conflict can spread to infect an entire department, division or company, derailing productivity and profitability along the way. Conflict management begins with a neutral, objective party simply listening to all points of view, and gathering information about the root of the conflict and how it grew over time. See how our conflict management service can help reduce and manage conflict and improve organizational performance.
