For years, the world鈥檚 most innovative organizations have used executive coaching to enhance organizational effectiveness, increase profits and productivity, foster staff engagement and interpersonal communication, and successfully realize their vision, aspirations and goals.

This month, local professionals will have the opportunity to discover what the Fortune 500 set have known all along 鈥� how proven coaching techniques can take their organizations from mere success to thriving excellence.

On March 1, executive coach and licensed facilitator Mary Crowley will present an interactive coaching workshop entitled Coaching Out of the Box at North Island College. The full-day workshop is designed for leaders, business owners, managers, board members and anyone who wants to discover and maximize their professional/personal potential.

鈥淐oaching Out of the Box incorporates foundational coaching skills as a tool for achieving top performance from both yourself and those around you,鈥� says Crowley. 鈥淐oaching is one of the most effective ways to deal more creatively with business or personal challenges. As a tool it supports people to find solutions, take action and move forward.鈥�

The workshop will focus on the 5/5/5 framework model which involves five core coaching skills, a five-step coaching process and five guiding principles that support effective coaching.

鈥淐oaching is about enhancing communication, building trust, leveraging strengths and achieving results that foster empowerment and overall effectiveness,鈥� said Crowley. 鈥淚f you feel like you or your organization has reached a plateau, or you want to attract more momentum and success in life, then using a coaching approach can effectively assist you in getting there.鈥�

The workshop will run from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and will include a take-away workbook and other resources.
