Coaching
 

Coaching is a concept that most people are familiar with in the athletic context.  Professional development coaching shares certain generic characteristics with its sports counterpart: one person with training and expertise makes a commitment to help another person achieve by understanding his/her goals, by examining situations, making observations, asking questions and giving educated feedback. 

In the context of organizations, coaching has become a valued resource for individuals who recognize that aspects of their personal make-up and behavior patterns are holding them back in their professional development.  MediationWorks coaches listen to their clients.  They work  to understand personal goals, identify improvement areas, and create an action plan.  Coaches serve as non-threatening personal advisors, supporting the client who tries out new communication and conflict resolution styles and de-briefing actual experiences. 

MediationWorks coaches are the link that clients need to connect their personal and professional goals with actual success.
