Managers spend 35% or more of their time in meetings, half of which are non productive. Some estimate as much as 50% of time spent on the job is spent on non value added activity. Hassles, habits, distractions and lack of clarity keep people from working on mission critical activities.
Are you drowning in distractions, failed initiatives, and can't get things done? Do you spend long days, work weekends, and never feel caught up? Managers have the greatest influence over an employee's success, yet, they rarely get the training they need for success.
Wasting time at work is an epidemic: 4% spends HALF their day on personal issues, 60% of people spend up to an hour talking on the phone, texting, or gossiping. This does not count the many other distractions that take people away from "the most important work."
Managing people is the biggest challenge for leaders. Regardless of your experience, people problems tend to keep even the best managers up at night.
Is it too complicated to make changes and get things done? We help you streamline and SIMPLIFY!
Are you spending your time putting out other people's fires? Have you lost your focus? Does conflict and status quo derail your progress?
Your ability to influence depends on your flexibility, adaptability and resilience.
Distractions, stress, conflict can derail your efforts. Building your emotional intelligence skills and activating resilience will help you stay focused on your most important work.
Without the training, dealing with emotions (yours and your staff) can make it difficult to have the tough conversations, and motivate your team. We have a solution!
Coaching is the new leading. Get more done. Consistently.
Cynthia Howard RN, CNC, PhD
Having more frequent conversation between the managers and staff will help retain the right staff. When managers are more confident in having those conversations, they are less likely to put it off. Managers usually do not have the experience (or training) in giving feedback and handling emotional reactions in staff. Handling your own emotional reactions is also a challenge.

Executive Coach, Performance Expert
“I created the Coaching for Performance system because I wanted to dispel the most common struggles I hear from managers. Here is just one of them:
‘I don't know how to motivate my staff! They know what is expected of them ... don't they?’
Instead, with our system, I’ve found the opposite is true: it IS possible to set high standards and actually get more from your staff. All you need is to learn how to engage your staff where it means the most to them. ”
I had just gotten promoted and was so glad I found this program. I had a complete system to coach my team and help me move from the bedside to a leadership role.
