Chart Your Course™
Published:
Using our custom design expertise in assessment, coaching and leadership development, we have created Chart Your Course™ in response to the needs cited by our Women coaching candidates, alumna and targeted research on the growth and development needs of Women Executives. The Program focuses on five critical competencies that are most often cited in Growth and Development recommendations. Each element of the program adds value as a stand-alone module or as part of a comprehensive package. Women can benefit from any or all of the elements according to their needs and circumstances.
The competencies are:
- Emotional Competence
- Building and Managing Relationships
- Communications Skills
- Owning and Positioning Your Power
- Executive Leadership and Presence
Assessment
As a base line for establishing expectations and goals, each participant will be interviewed by a BeamPines Facilitator and engaged in a three-way discussion with the Facilitator and their Supervisor. As a minimum, feedback will be solicited from the supervisor and internal 360’s or other relevant performance material will be reviewed. As an enhanced option, each candidate will be invited to participate in a customized CYC assessment. They will complete specially selected instruments and interview with a BeamPines Assessment Psychologist who will assist in identifying strengths and challenges, and setting goals for the program.
Five Workshop/Roundtable Meetings
Over a six-month timeframe, five interactive workshops featuring a subject expert on each of the five core competencies, will present both the essential information of each competency and its specific applications in the career and broader life of executive woman.
Individual Coaching Opportunity
Building on the feedback from the initial assessment and developing awareness from the workshops, private/individual coaching may be appropriate. Individual meetings take place on a monthly basis, with telephone and e-mail supplements providing support to the candidate in continuing to refine specific goals and achieve milestones. The candidates are challenged to apply newly acquired competencies in measurable actions at work and in their broader lives.
Shipboard Learning Lab – We put Women at the Helm!
Candidates will be invited to participate in a unique learning lab designed to test and re-enforce their collaborative leadership and team competencies. Those that sign up for this program will literally get the opportunity to “take the helm.” Using a Tall Ship as a venue, and under professional supervision, a group of participants (6-8) along with BeamPines/CYC facilitators will embark on a “mini-passage” designed as a team oriented business metaphor.
Post CYC Feedback
Candidate and CYC Facilitator/Coach will meet with candidate’s supervisor for feedback, with all three addressing goals, learning, observed changes and setting new goals for continued development.
