Leadership Development

What We Do

Our leadership development and coaching services enable leaders to grow and develop by enhancing the understanding of their personal strengths and development priorities, which then equip them with the required skills and tools to facilitate positive behavior change.

Our Approach

Based on academic research and our own experience, The Phelps Coaching method is focused on:

• Enhancing Self Awareness: The first step to solving a problem is acknowledging and understanding it. The primary goal of our coaching process is to enhance self-awareness regarding strengths and development priorities.

• Using Proven Techniques: Our coaching staff includes experienced psychologists who understand the principles and techniques required to facilitate sustained behavior change and performance optimization.

• Leveraging Assessment: Proven, reliable and valid assessments (i.e. personality-based assessments and multi-rater feedback) are an important component of our coaching process. They provide a valuable source of information regarding a client’s strengths and developmental needs. They also inform our approach to skills development. The Phelps 360 assessment can be completely customized to assess the leadership competencies most relevant to your organization.

• Prioritizing the Coaching Relationship: The quality of the coach/coachee relationship is critical to the success of the coaching engagement. We are skilled in creating positive, productive relationships with our clients that are built upon a foundation of trust and respect.

• Implementing a Plan Moving Forward: We work collaboratively with our clients to either develop or  inform existing development plans, including recommended action steps to assist in achieving their short, medium, and long term developmental goals and career objectives.
