Topics Covered
This is a group coaching program, which means the focus of our discussions will be on what individuals are working to accomplish, not pre-set topics. The learning that comes out of the group is in direct proportion to the level of engagement of the participants.
That said, the following list is a sample of just a few topics that will likely be addressed:
- Phases of transition
- Group dynamics and ground rules for self-managed teams
- Time management and productivity during transition
- Relationship management during transition
- Managing the emotional side of transition
- Developing a strong Personal Presence
