Training, Coaching, Motivating

Is your organization facing a conflict that could use the help of a listening expert? As a consultant, my job is to listen. I first seek to understand individual and organizational needs then work collaboratively to find solutions to problems, answers to questions, and to develop customized learning platforms that inspire people to improve.

“[Training in listening] has helped in all areas of my life. My family has noted the fact that I take more time in conversation. They also have notices that I’m not problem solving all the time, but listening. The daily emails are what keep the program relevant and keep you engaged.”

Individualized Coaching

By first listening and facilitating a series of reflection exercises, I help foster one-on-one custom development opportunities for sales professionals, management, and executives. My coaching framework is founded on establishing and building a constructive relationship that allows for challenging assumptions and encouraging improvement. Founded on strong theory, coaching involves designing opportunities unique to each participant, focusing on their particular development.

“What is exciting is all the opportunities to work on our listening – especially given current realities in the world. Can’t tell you how thankful I am for everything I’ve learned from you and many of your colleagues. It probably has been one of the deepest and most valuable learning experiences of my life. So, thank you!”

Course and Curriculum Development

As an educator, I develop unique courses and curriculum to meet student needs. I bring this expertise to meet organizations' needs to develop the communication and listening skills vital to employee success. My expertise is in the development of specialized programs that aim to discover key organizational strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, particularly those that involve communication and listening. If your organization experiences issues related to communication - internal conflict, listening and understanding customer needs, employee turn-over, problematic emails, having difficult conversations, how to deliver bad news, lack of assertiveness in your sales force, assuming rather than asking ... I would enjoy collaborating on ways to solve these problems. If you have existing programs, I would enjoy helping you update, assess, or otherwise tweak their effectiveness.

“Thank you for reaching out to me and connecting me with ECHO. I am absolutely loving the experience…Thank you for all the time and effort you put into our conversations and my assessment. Your simple gesture of connecting with me on FB has literally changed my life and the lives of many who are going to benefit from developing their listening intelligence.”
