get coach[ED]! for practitioners
Economic development is tough at the best of times. Developing new strategies for business retention, recruitment or navigating the labyrinth of community politics, brings unique challenges and opportunities. It’s here that coaching, as a thinking partnership, secures the space for effective thinking, planning and strategizing. This supports you, the economic development professional, to lead efforts in your community.
get coach[ED]! for teams
Whether offered to an economic development organization’s executive team, its board of directors, commission, committee or local government council, applying a team coaching approach is one way to align collective efforts and set sights on bigger and better results. Economic development doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It takes a well-organized, cohesive and committed team with a common vision and purpose.
get coach[ED]! for communities
No community plans to hire consultants to create reports that sit on shelves. Yet it happens far too often. By adding a coaching component, capacity is built from within to tackle the new projects suggested by consultants and ensure successful implementation. The combined consulting and coaching approach increases practitioner knowledge and community ownership in both process and results.
