Executive Coaching:
Sea-Change professionals are among the world’s most expert negotiation coaches. Every top athlete in the world depends on a professional coach, and it is the best athletes who benefit the most from good coaching. We offer focused coaching for individual professionals in order to enhance their negotiation skills, improve their performance at the table, and achieve better bottom-line results. Sea-Change has a team of experienced professionals who will develop and implement a customized program of negotiation coaching and strategic assistance, in consultation with our clients.
Our coaching programs include initial baseline needs assessments; to align the coaching sessions with our clients’ learning objectives, to assess a negotiator’s strengths and areas of need, and to set appropriate targets. We then ensure that our coaches help negotiators get the most out of themselves by being skilled and prepared for their upcoming negotiations – and by having well-designed strategies for dealing with the negotiation and influence challenges they face.
Our coaching sessions usually include a mix of focused skills training, applied work on – and preparation for — real challenges, assisted practice in simulations and role-plays, and assessments, feedback and reporting. Sessions can be scheduled to accommodate our clients’ needs and schedules. Typical sessions are a half day (3 hours of coaching), and we work with our clients to determine the most appropriate setting. Depending on the challenges they face, some clients benefit from a formal, structured environment, such as their own workplace, while others benefit more from an informal setting, away from the office.
