performance-based coaching

Fifth Avenue Counseling & Consulting provides performance-based, behavioral leadership coaching for individuals and organizations. Our aim is to help leaders achieve rapid gains in personal performance, particularly in the ability to empower others and to apply the organization’s vision to daily tasks. We help you capitalize on your strengths so that you can synergize your activities, motivate your team, and optimize your performance.

We are certified in the use and implementation of the Hogan Assessment System, which we believe to be the most effective instrument available to help managers understand the personal strengths they should capitalize on and the blind spots or behaviors that may be impeding their success.

Our approach is to customize the coaching experience to meet client needs. We understand the importance of results and return on investment. Needs are determined using targeted assessments, one to one peer interviews, 360 degree interviews and climate surveys. Individual leadership development plans are implemented strategically, and may include job shadowing, meeting facilitation, training, and/or team building exercises.
 

strategic approach

The format and process of coaching is as important as the relationship. Our objective is to allow the coachee to maintain accountability for his or her own development. We have developed the exclusive "i-notes" binder and journaling system to encourage each client to systematically monitor and document his or her own progress. The i-notes binder is divided into sections so that the coaching client can manage goals, create a personal development plan, and track the specific steps required to achieve those goals.

The i-notes journal is a specialized tool that enables individuals to apply new behaviors “live” in the workplace. These behavioral modification efforts are noted in the journal and practiced again during coaching meetings. This methodology proves to be highly successful in achieving long lasting results, as the behavior is practiced in real life work-place settings and reinforced through multiple implementations.

assessment tools

The primary assessment tool we utilize for organizational development, coaching, team development, executive selection, and succession planning is the Hogan Assessment System, for which we are a certified consultant.
