 Ann's leadership coaching has been very valuable to me over the past few years
in my role as a new Engineering manager at a growing alternative energy technology company.
Growing my technical design team from just two to ten team members over a two year period was a very challenging task.
I very much appreciated the real world advice Ann provided throughout this period in addressing day-to-day organizational
challenges as well as the valuable tools she provided for dealing with such practical issues as successful interviewing, hiring and time management.
Ann clearly leverages off her strong technical background and extensive mentoring experience
to provide effective strategies for addressing the broad spectrum of issues which I have encountered as a technical manager.
I began working with Ann during a very challenging time
in my professional life. I had recently assumed managerial responsibilities for
the first time in my career, in an area of technology that I was not expert in.
Shortly after assuming these responsibilities, it became apparent that there was
a serious problem with our technology, which threatened the viability of my
company. Solving this problem was my responsibility, and it took everything I
had, and Ann played a crucial role in helping me to manage the pressure,
maintain my confidence in myself, helped me to inspire my team, and helped me to
navigate the political environment that I was in to achieve the outcome that the
company needed. My team and I were successful in meeting the challenge, and
doing so is the proudest achievement of my career thus far. Ann has become a
trusted confidant and guide, and has served an important role in facilitating my
growth and success in my career. I value my work with her tremendously, and
recommend her to anyone looking to take control of their professional lives.

Moving Forward's services help your organization grow more confident and successful managers. Our methodology combines one-on-one coaching with the development of essential managerial and leadership skills.
We initiate the project with discussions with senior management regarding their goals and expectations for the coaching and skill development. These goals and expectations will be carried throughout the project. Coaching begins with two one-hour meetings with each manager where we establish the focus, goals and measures for our coaching and the means by which the manager will reach their goals. Our goals, means and measures will be submitted to senior management for their review and input as the coaching begins. Once the two meetings are completed, we begin regular in-person coaching meetings or calls, using phone, Skype or other conferencing system. These meetings or calls can be held on a weekly or biweekly basis and can last for 30, 45 or 60 minutes. If desired, monthly progress reports can be prepared for senior management. At the conclusion of our coaching, each manager will review and report on progress made and their learning from the coaching and skill development. We are happy to custom-design a manager coaching and skill development program to meet your organization's needs. Related Articles: For Coaching and Consulting That Works, click here.
