A New Approach to Developing Leaders
Organizations want their training dollars to produce better results in the workplace. Employees want help connecting what they learned in class with the complex, gritty reality of their workplace.
Studies have shown that training supplemented by coaching provides significantly better results than does training alone. (Bright and Crockett, Coaching: An International Journal of Theory, Research and Practice, Vol 5, Issue 1, 2012)
Fortifico has developed a series of Leadership Coaching Packages which build the bridge between theory and practice and will help you to be a more effective leader. Each Package is made up of Modules (click here for an example) addressing key leadership skills. Each module summarizes key concepts and then poses provocative questions which encourage reflection on the issue. This sets the stage for a powerful Coaching Conversation in which your Coach will help you to “think through” how to effectively apply these concepts in the reality of your situation so that you can be the confident, capable and compassionate leader that you want to be.

How It Works
General Approach
We follow the outline given in the Coaching Package, but treat it as a framework rather than a straitjacket. If you want to spend more time on some subjects, we will do so. For the initial phase of our relationship we will meet for an hour every week. This will give you the most value the most quickly. For the following phases we can meet for an hour each week or every other week, whichever you prefer. I do not recommend meeting less frequently as I have found that weekly or bi-weekly meeting give my clients the best results.
Individual Coaching
Whether you purchase a structured Coaching Package or a Customized Package, you define the agenda and the goals. We will work together to help you to discover new insights into the challenges of leadership in your context. I will coach you in developing specific and tangible actions that you can try out to apply your new understanding. We will check in regularly to see what the results are, what you have discovered as a result, and what changes you want to try next.
Team Coaching
You define the issue that you want to address and the outcomes that you want to see and we will jointly design a coaching plan that will help to get you there. Please note that I will not coach a Team without the Team Leadership being present and actively engaged as participants.
