Experienced Executive Coaches Develop Better Leaders

TEAM International offers individualized coaching for personal executive development. TEAM International coaches meet with executives on several occasions over a period of time, usually three months thru-to six. Unlike many other coaching interventions, TEAM International coaches can go to the executive for observation and data gathering, in differing contexts, both personal and professional.

A major feature of the intervention is the development of a well-documented, realistic picture of themselves as effective people, through the use of interviews and assessment instruments. The principal output is the design and implementation of a personalized development plan, for continued growth and success. Offered under contract in English and Spanish. Custom only, fees as arranged.
