Interpersonal/Communication Coaching

Miscommunication among employees or co-workers can lead to many problems. For example, misunderstandings can lead to feelings of frustration, anger and resentment. Individuals may feel that they’re not being heard. Or projects may be delayed or not completed at all, as a result of miscommunication. If this continues, it ultimately creates a negative environment in which productivity and goodwill rapidly deteriorate.

Communication that is not based on mutual respect and thoughtfulness can be very costly to those involved.  Plus, changing the way we communicate can be difficult. However, taking a different approach to challenging situations can open up countless possibilities. By pinpointing specific issues, LCS consultants can help you recognize unproductive communication tactics and develop a more constructive approach in a relatively short amount of time.

Program Outline
 
1.Individual consultation: For those in the Los Angeles area, the first step is to visit the LCS office for a two-hour session. For those outside of the Los Angeles area, this consultation may be conducted by phone. It is also possible to arrange for one-on-one meetings at the organization’s location.

The purpose of this consultation is to identify the primary areas of focus for the individual. As an independent exercise to be completed before the next meeting, the LCS consultant will also highlight items for the individual to reflect upon as he/she considers his/her interactions with others.
 
2.Workstyle assessment profile: The next step is to take the workstyle assessment profile. This assessment is comprised of 185 multiple-choice questions and can conveniently be taken on the individual’s home or work computer.

The detailed report examines problem solving skills, interpersonal and stress patterns, leadership roles, career matches based on one’s traits, and thought patterns when interacting with others, and traits that are unique to each of us. LCS also provides a list of questions to identify strengths as well as ideas for personal growth.

3.1st follow-up meeting: This follow-up meeting takes place two to three weeks after completion of the workstyle assessment. During this two to three-hour session, we will review the profile with the individual and discuss the independent assignment.  At the end of this session, additional exercises will be assigned to further test additional ideas that might come up during the workday.

4.Subsequent follow-up meeting(s): Another follow-up meeting takes place three to four weeks later, either in-person or via telephone for those out of the area. The purpose of this meeting is to touch base to see how things are going and for additional role-playing of specific situations. Depending on progress, additional follow-up sessions may be scheduled every three to six weeks as needed.

Career Transitions

The LCS Career Transitions program is a framework to help the individual fulfill their personal vision for his/her career. Designed to be both supportive and proactive, this program consists of several components to help put the individual on the right path for them.

Transition can be frightening, especially when it comes to one’s own career.  However, with the right support and guidance, it can be a powerful time for the individual to fulfill his/her innermost dreams and desires, while moving into another stage in life. LCS consultants can help put the individual on the path to making those aspirations a reality.
