SET GOALS AND ACHIEVE OBJECTIVES

Group & Team Coaching

Judy Feld has more than 25 years of successful experience working with corporations and organizations to design, implement and deliver customized group coaching. Group coaching in a virtual format is convenient, efficient and cost-effective, providing regularly scheduled coaching meetings that are interactive and dynamic, linking 5-15 participants real-time.

Coaching groups are drawn from employees of the same company or organization, with common goals, missions or functions, who may be geographically dispersed. Some examples of group participants are professionals in sales, human resources, customer service, operations. Team coaching is similar, with participants who work together or collaborate, in-person or virtually. Participants may represent a variety of functions and responsibilities. Strategic alliances, the subject of our book SmartMatch Alliances, are an important component of our clients’ strategies and an important part of the work we do together. This means we stay current with leading alliance trends and high-leverage opportunities.

HOW IT WORKS

How does group coaching work?

In each meeting there is time for each group member to be coached on issues of mutual interest.
Goals and desired outcomes are determined by the group or team.
The coach is able to react and respond to participants’ questions and requests.
There is a topic selected for each group session, with the time to vary by the needs of the group or team.
Each session will be different; there is no rigid agenda, curriculum or mold.
Group members benefits from the shared wisdom and best practices of their colleagues.
The confidentiality of the group will be maintained, with company management receiving general reports about the process.

Testimonials

A coach provides a rich set of tools that grows through the years to support a client in each new opportunity and challenge.
“I am a walking example of the value of long-term coaching. When we launched the coaching journey in 2005, I was already quite senior in my career. Each new leadership step I took came with a myriad of new experiences for which my existing set of competencies needed to be stretched. Judy has supported me in the evolution of my skills, insights, and talents to successfully meet each new stage. She’s helped to extract what was deep inside me and expand it; I think about it as a tool bag that has grown and grown through the years to support me in each new leadership challenge.”
~ Carla Smith, MA, CNM, FHIMSS

Coaching is an ongoing strategic partnership. A coach can provide an “auxiliary brain”.
“I have worked with Judy Feld as my coach for 21 years. She knows more about me than my closest friends and keeps up to date on the many factors that have an impact on me. Most of our time together involves her listening, processing and then responding, clarifying, and gathering data about me. Judy coaches me regularly regarding timely challenges I have faced based on this knowledge, and supports me in developing both strategies and tactics. I haven't needed time-limited, focused, goal-setting. I can and do set realistic goals which have enabled me to achieve and master many things. What I have needed is an objective, knowledgeable and effective coach to assist me in my life journey. An additional benefit in this relationship is the occasional monumental insight she has provided on a specific issue I faced based on her extensive knowledge of me. I have fondly referred to her as my auxiliary brain.”
~ Ralph S. Smith, Jr., MD, Brig Gen (Ret.) USAF CMO; Medical Director

Continuity and longevity bring perspective to the shared work. A coach with a good memory can “see around the corners.”
“For over 20 years, I've worked with Judy Feld as my coach, with only minimal breaks to accommodate family needs. She has always brought wisdom, cogent coaching and empathy to our work, and still sees around the corners in ways I cannot do for myself. I am a huge believer in creating a long-term relationship with your coach. They watch you grow and evolve through a huge variety of settings and challenges, and have the continuity and longevity to bring perspective (and a great memory) to the shared work.”
~ Caroline Adams Miller, MAPP: Speaker* Author* Educator* Coach

“Compounded interest over 10 years adds up to a lot of value. The benefits of unbiased coaching conversations increase exponentially."
“When I initiated a coaching relationship some 10 years ago I wanted someone who could ask the right questions in the hopes of re-framing, & ultimately help me get out of mental locks. I later learned this was not an easy coaching assignment. Judy demonstrated the intelligence, practical business & people sense, as well as the gentle accountability to fill that role spectacularly. I maintained our coaching relationship when I took over my CEO role about a year later. The issues I faced were broad & changed week to week, so working with someone who knew me & was willing & able to work with that changing, demanding mandate was critical. Judy was my sounding board for 6 years and helped me sort through those business and personal issues so I could be the best version of myself. For the last two years, we are doing it again. I am transitioning & starting a new company. Compounded interest over 10-years adds up to a lot of value. During our weekly hour, I have the luxury to step out of the day-to-day & get perspective on that last critical 5 to 10% on the issues old or new with all their subtleties. Driving to be the best at any role has to benefit from professional feedback, consistently applied. I know my relationship with Judy has made me a better executive & person.”
~ Todd C. Hart, CEO
