She has savvy business sense and is a delight when leading process groups in managerial and leadership training. She is product-driven and has a keen sense of humor that puts others at ease.

Teams

Teams are clear examples of energy systems in the workplace. Vermont Business Coaching’s tools are powerful when used with executive and management teams, project teams, strategic planning teams, and creating and selling teams. When there are problems in groups and teams:

  • Tasks are not completed on time
  • Teams have trouble responding to changing conditions
  • There may be distrust or power struggles
  • One style may dominate decision-making, or one individual may co-opt meetings
  • Others may not bring forth their best ideas
  • Decisions may not be implemented
  • Time and energy are not optimally utilized
  • Visionary & operations systems don't coordinate well in planning or implementation

The Vermont Business CoachingTM  paradigm is used to address all the energy patterns in the team - the management function, the interactions, and the team members individually. We address such issues as:

  • communication
  • responsiveness
  • power struggles
  • diversity
  • developing goals and structure
  • how to manage change even with ambiguous outcome
  • productivity and deadlines
  • confidence
  • flexibility and placement in the larger organization

Groups clarify shared goals, develop communication skills, learn to respect and utilize diversity of skill and style, develop their proactive decision-making, and become more confident and creative while acting on new solutions.
