Executive Coaching for Performance Provides confidential feedback that Members or senior staffers need to develop as leaders or managers, or to address staffers who must change their behavior.

Leadership Coaching using The Leadership Circle Profile™ (TLCP) Combined with a six-month coaching relationship, this program will enable your leader(s) to identify their strengths and weakness and engage in targeted development activities that will help maximize their performance and potential.

The Leadership Circle Culture Survey™ (TLCS) This survey measures how the leadership culture within your office compares to that of other organizations and creates a very compelling rational for change.
