Home Core Services Leadership & Talent Development Synergistic Executive Coaching

"Dawson Consulting Group provides exceptional tools and resources to support leadership and employee development. With guidance from their coach, a valued employee successfully changed his behavior and attitude. Others in the organization were positively affected by the behavioral changes of the employee and everyone was able to move beyond a negative experience to work together effectively. Not only did the company win by retaining valuable employees, but individual employees gained positive lessons. Essentially everyone experienced the importance of building relationships in which each person is valued, even when they have dramatic differences in personality and style.

We are grateful for the dedication of Dawson Consulting in a challenging situation for which the return on coaching far exceeded our investment. Our experience has validated the importance of professional coaching to improve performance and retention."

What is Executive Coaching?

While executive coaching may mean many things, at Dawson Consulting Group it is working with individual managers on performance-related issues to achieve maximum personal effectiveness. Personal effectiveness as a manager leads to effective organizations, so for Dawson Consulting Group, coaching is performance driven. In executive coaching, the executive elects to work on issues within three areas:

	Those that are primarily business-related such as organizational structure or alignment, strategic and cultural issues, and functional cooperation.
	Those that deal mostly with personal efficacy. These may be limited to issues regarding interpersonal skills, or may more broadly encompass dimensions that are incorporated in the concepts of emotional intelligence.
	Those that address issues of leadership, or one's abilities to influence others, including groups or teams. Enhanced personal and leadership effectiveness leads to improved relationships that produce improved organizational results.

Adding Value Organizationally ~ The Sum is Greater than the Parts
