Moving Forward Coaching and Consulting

Here's what managers are saying about Ann's coaching and skill development...

With a friendly, positive attitude, and a bit of humor to make the day better, Ann provides clear insight and guidance that really helps streamline any situation I bring to her. For every 10 minutes spent coaching with Ann, I save at least 2 hours navigating problems at hand...and get better results!
—Senior Mechanical Technical Lead


Working with Ann has helped me define my management style and tools. By working through what has or hasn't worked I am now more capable to react to situations with the right management tools.
—System Integration Lead


I began working with Ann during a very challenging time in my professional life. I had recently assumed managerial responsibilities for the first time in my career, in an area of technology that I was not expert in. Shortly after assuming these responsibilities, it became apparent that there was a serious problem with our technology, which threatened the viability of my company. Solving this problem was my responsibility, and it took everything I had, and Ann played a crucial role in helping me to manage the pressure, maintain my confidence in myself, helped me to inspire my team, and helped me to navigate the political environment that I was in to achieve the outcome that the company needed. My team and I were successful in meeting the challenge, and doing so is the proudest achievement of my career thus far. Ann has become a trusted confidant and guide, and has served an important role in facilitating my growth and success in my career. I value my work with her tremendously, and recommend her to anyone looking to take control of their professional lives.

How We Work

We initiate the project with discussions with senior management regarding their goals and expectations for the coaching and skill development. These goals and expectations will be carried throughout the project.

Coaching begins with two one-hour meetings with each manager where we establish the focus, goals and measures for our coaching and the means by which the manager will reach their goals. Our goals, means and measures will be submitted to senior management for their review and input as the coaching begins.

Once the two meetings are completed, we begin regular in-person coaching meetings or calls, using phone, Skype or other conferencing system. These meetings or calls can be held on a weekly or biweekly basis and can last for 30, 45 or 60 minutes. If desired, monthly progress reports can be prepared for senior management.

At the conclusion of our coaching, each manager will review and report on progress made and their learning from the coaching and skill development.

We are happy to custom-design a manager coaching and skill development program to meet your organization's needs.
