LEADERSHIP COACHING 

Welcome Aboard!

Bringing on a new captain is exciting for every organization and the newly coronated commander. But the seas of new leadership are choppy and often leave these new leaders struggling with self-doubt:

What if the team and I clash?

What if they won't follow orders?

What if I don't fit into their dynamic and culture?

Joining a new organization can be stressful in any employee's life. Add the stress of leading a new team or initiative, and new leaders can quickly get swallowed up. Their talents stretched trying to navigate managing a new team and meeting leadership's expectations.

While we always expect leaders to muscle through and solve their challenges, is that the best strategy for your organization? For these companies, the answer was no.

Instead, these organizations decided to enlist the help of Truth Engaged to better prepare and adapt their new leaders to their new roles and responsibilities.

Here's how it works

  • Neal meets with leaders weekly for one-on-one 1-hour coaching sessions.

  • Leaders call Neal for 15-minute weekly jump start sessions to get them pumped up and action-ready for the week ahead.

  • We create a 30, 90, and 180-day Transition Plan and Action Steps Checklist to help leaders stay on track and build positive new leadership habits.

  • We create a unique development plan to meet the individual skills and leadership desired abilities.

Throughout our leadership coaching program, your new leader will develop a new set of skills that will help them address the challenges of their new position and inspire their team to produce excellent results. Their success confirms what you always knew was possible.

Outcomes of our program include:

  • Leaders learn to make their team’s work visible so that the entire organization knows where they are, where they’re going, and how to deliver results.

  • Leaders improve productivity by eliminating redundancy, bottlenecks, and time-sucking meetings.

  • Leaders create simple systems and checklists for their team’s process so that nothing falls through the cracks.

  • Leaders develop appropriate tools and techniques necessary to supervise all team members according to their duties.

  • Leaders learn to navigate challenging relationships and establish accountability on day one.

We design our programs to run on an initial 3-month engagement with month-to-month extensions based on the needs of the organizations and leaders. 

Neal’s coaching gave me the confidence to pursue and obtain a new position to further develop my leadership skills and accelerate my career. As a result, I now am leading a team of engineers and performing work that is better aligned with my strengths and interests.
