Caroline has spent thousands of hours working with and developing professionals at all levels. Through these interactions, she has learned that most organizations have significant gaps in professional and leadership development. Although many organizations offer classes for those wishing to grow and develop, these classes do not always provide the type of coaching needed to make significant strides in performance, results, and career growth. (See also our Core Value: Practical Guidance.)
One would assume that the best sources for this type of development would be your leader or a professional coach. However, two BIG problems often arise when seeking development through these avenues:
- Most people leaders have never been trained to develop people, and they do not magically become great coaches when they become people leaders. Most people are promoted to people leadership, because they were talented individual contributors. Unfortunately, if these new leaders never had a great mentor, they will likely struggle to mentor and develop their people.
- So, you say, hire a coach. Unfortunately, professional and leadership coaches are often much too expensive for individual professionals to afford themselves, and businesses usually can't justify the expense for anyone other than executive leaders.
Where does that leave driven, high-potential professionals and leaders who want to advance and "earn a seat at the table"? In Caroline's experience, it leaves them frustrated, dissatisfied, and looking elsewhere.
For this reason, Gratiam Development strives to bring professional development services to the masses. Having a professional coach should no longer be reserved for executives or large corporations. Professionals, Leaders, and Business Owners at all levels deserve access to this type of personalized development.
If you previously felt that one-on-one coaching was out of reach and unaffordable, look no further. Caroline, Founder and Coach at Gratiam Development, will find a way to work within your budget so you have access to the personalized coaching you need to grow yourself and your business.
