Case Study
CLIENT: Operations Executive
THE NEED: One year into her new position at this fast-growing organization, this client was feeling overwhelmed and her leadership was looking for her to step up to her role with a higher level of ownership, drive change and communicate more effectively.
RESULT: Deb worked with this client to build greater awareness of her overall “blocks” in style, approach and process that were not effective using assessments and 360 feedback. Action steps were developed and more effective communications tactics were learned and then employed by the client. She began targeting her communications more effectively, as she became aware of the impact, or the lack thereof, it was having on others.
Leadership began placing more confidence in the client and her ability to craft the truly effective new function she was brought into the organization to create.
