THE VALUE OF LEADERSHIP AND EXECUTIVE COACHING

"If you want to help someone, you should be like the sun. Shine, even on your darkest days."

- Germany Kent 

Bonsai coaching helps you and your team reach your highest potential. 

Your leadership team influences every member of your organization, from employees and volunteers to the people you serve. By enriching your philosophies, attitudes, goals, strategies, and methods, you can create new possibilities for change and growth. 

Using the tried and tested Birkman Method, we develop leaders and teams to effectively collaborate, communicate, and connect so your organization can achieve peak performance and impact.  

LEADERSHIP COACHING

Cultivating diverse, high-performing leaders, teams and organizations through relationships built on trust, transparency, and authentic communication:

  • Individual or team leadership assessments to gauge professional interests, motivations, needs, and strengths

  • Retreats and team building to promote trust and individual self-awareness, and build psychological safety, authentic communication, and deeper team effectiveness

  • Executive succession planning

BIRKMAN METHOD®

The Birkman Method is a personality and behavioral assessment tool designed to measure various aspects of an individual's personality, social perception, motivation, and occupational interests.

The Birkman assessment consists of a series of multiple-choice questions that are designed to measure an individual's preferences, strengths, and needs across various dimensions, such as social interaction, decision-making, problem-solving, and stress management. The results of the assessment are presented in a detailed report that provides insights into an individual's personality, work style, and communication style, among other things. 

We use the Birkman assessment in our coaching and recruiting services because it provides detailed feedback about how people are likely to show up, what they need, and what motivates them.
