Coaching Right Now is a leadership development organization that focuses on helping clients achieve better business results through their leaders. Whether your organization’s leadership development programs are in their infancy or very well-defined, we work with you to advance them to the next level. We offer a wide variety of leadership development solutions, assessments, coaching, skill building, business advisory, and consulting services to support your talent planning and organizational needs. We’re experienced working with every type and level of leadership coaching (1:1, group, cohort, individual, executive, new leaders, etc.). Every program and service we provide is individually tailored and customized to meet our client’s specific goals and requirements.

Coaching is a personalized and highly effective way to develop better leaders because it equips them with the skills, confidence, tools, and support system they need to be successful. It also increases leaders’ self-awareness and identifies their leadership strengths and opportunities. It focuses on helping leaders learn, practice, and master essential skills. Coaching puts the framework in place for a leader’s lifelong commitment to self-development and helps identify the people and resources who can support them on their development journey. The ROI results from coaching are significant, measurable, and observable.

Coaching provides a flexible, individualized way to help leaders develop. It identifies skill gaps through assessments, self-reflection, and coaching. Focused and measurable development plans are individually designed to close each leader’s skill gaps. This allows your leaders to gain the skills and confidence they need to lead more effectively. Experienced coaches with many years of relevant business experience are a valuable resource to leaders, serving as an objective, external sounding board and offering them better tools, new perspectives, and highly practical and actionable advice. Coaching reinforces the skills, new behaviors, and areas of improvement until leaders are operating at a higher level on a daily basis. Coaches encourage and support your leaders by providing an empathetic ear and safe practice partner, while at the same time, creating an environment of accountability to reach each goal.

Training is well-suited for learning new skills and is usually taught in a group because its one-to-many approach is an efficient way to communicate an approach, demonstrate a skill, and create enthusiasm. Studies have shown, however, that very little sustainable change occurs with training alone. That’s why we never offer training events alone. They are always accompanied with either group or one-on-one coaching, or a combination of both, to create accountability and application of the new learning.

During the design phase, Coaching Right Now identifies Program Success Measures and key analytics that will deliver the outcomes our clients want to achieve, such as reduction in turnover, promotion readiness, increased employee engagement, improved productivity, or other defined metrics. We also establish Progress Milestone Measures and gather and report timely feedback from participants and their managers. We create fully customized reports for our clients that provide meaningful metrics, important business insights, and a deep analysis of your leadership development needs. These analytics help businesses measure the value of their investments over time and make better-informed business decisions.

Coaching Right Now offers exceptional depth, breadth, and qualifications of coaches and coaching talent. All our coaches have at least 10+ years of coaching experience with excellent references. Our coaches also average 20+ years of relevant business experience, including leadership positions at the C-Suite, EVP, SVP, CHRO, VP, Director, or Manager level.
