Coaching
The International Coach Federation defines coaching as "partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential." A coach supports growth through an intentional focus on linking strengths and past success to future success. Coaching offers a safe place to think, to reflect, speak honestly and to ask questions. SV & CO. has several coaching capabilities to best fit your needs.
Leadership Coaching
Today's leaders are being asked to lead in ways that they have never led before. Working with a coach can help build essential leadership skills for future success. Whether you're a new leader, a leader seeking to enhance your skill set or a transitional leader, coaching can help you reach your full potential. Working with a coach can close the gap between where you are today and where you want to be tomorrow.
Executive Coaching
Executive coaching is a professional relationship with the goal to enhance an individual's leadership or management performance and development. SV & CO. works closely with the client to examine leadership skills and professional goals. Coaching creates a space for new ways of thinking and developing action steps that support achievement of the client's goals.
