Helping a Team Find Harmony
“Swan Consulting Group successfully took on the challenge of coaching me (a new division level vice president), and a dysfunctional team of six director level managers (my direct reports). The goal was to improve management team communication, workflow cooperation, and product quality, as well as to create a more pleasant and productive work environment for all staff members. Swan’s coaching approach included pre-workshop interviews leading to a one-day management team workshop, then continued individual coaching with the workshop participants, some more ongoing than others. Our coaches also met with the company’s president as well as the human resources vice president to help ensure the organization embraced the process. The vice president of human resources stated that Swan Consulting Group was the best coaching partner the company had ever engaged.”

Discovering Life-Changing Insights on Human Relationships
“What a positive life-altering experience! The knowledge gained from Swan Consulting Group’s SDI workshop gave us a refreshing new look on ‘why we do what we do’ in both our business and personal lives. Their tools to aid in better communication and conflict resolution are priceless and we left feeling motivated to strengthen relationships and enlighten others about our experience. Thank you Swan Consulting Group for helping us become stronger leaders.”

Learning That Can Be Put Immediately Into Practice
“I want to thank Swan Consulting Group for providing a dynamic, enlightening and inspiring SDI workshop. I walked away having greater insight into my own motivations, behaviors and strengths, and greater understanding and skills toward enhancing relationships with those having a different profile than me. Having used numerous other behavioral assessments, the richness of the SDI, along with the ease in which it can be understood and put to use is remarkable. I have already started looking at behavior in the context of SDI’s ‘colors’ and refer to my ‘communication guide’ frequently.”

Coaching a Start-Up into Action
“Swan Consulting Group played a key role in the initial strategy planning for a start-up business venture. I asked them to help my future business partner and myself narrow the focus of our ideas for starting a service business and then to guide us in planning the next steps. Over two intense, half-day sessions, Swan’s coaches helped us to align our ideas with a more manageable set of business objectives and start thinking more strategically about how to launch our business venture. The coaching approach was challenging, insightful, thoughtful and supportive. Upon completion, we were armed with an action plan for moving forward.”
