Personal Growth Through MindPower –

MindPower for… Management Success is a coach-sulting program designed to optimize personal and team performance by maximizing the synergy of three contributing factors:

     v     Ability

     v     Knowledge

     v     Attitude

 The “coaching” portion of MindPower for… Management Success deals with two of the three factors, Ability and Attitude.  Starting with an analysis of your personal strengths, MindPower will identify your natural strengths, attributes and attitude to help you capitalize on them.

The “-sulting” looks to build upon the current Knowledge base by providing a forum for discussion and transfer of new knowledge directly applicable to real world management challenges.

The power of coaching is illustrated by the following story.  Probably one of the most recognized sports professionals today is Tiger Woods.  Yet, just after winning his first Masters at the age of 20, Tiger Woods contacted and retained one of the most respected golf coaches in the world, Butch Harmon.  As Tiger said to Butch “My swing really sucks.”  Coaching works and makes even the best, better.

Briefly, the program consists of:

• Analyzing Ability, Knowledge and Attitude.
  • A baseline is established through the use of two instruments:
    • Caliper Test – provided by the Caliper Corporation, Princeton, New Jersey
    • Discover your Strengths Test – Best Seller “NOW, Discover Your Strengths” by Marcus Buckingham & Donald O. Clifton, Ph.D.

Both of these tests are completed on-line.  “Caliper” is processed by Caliper Corporation through a process of matching highly successful professional’s traits with your traits. “Now, Discover Your Strengths” serves two purposes: 

• to identify your strengths
• how to capitalize on them.
• Create a vision of the future beyond the ordinary.
• Develop a plan with specific goals, objectives and activities to meet the vision.
• Using a specific skill set the coaching process address :
  • Stand for Something – an Impossible Future, create the vision
  • Be Your Stand – It Starts with Me, create the passion
  • Create a Powerful Context, create an extraordinary atmosphere
  • Generate an Alignment of Wholes, create a solidarity of purpose throughout
  • Act from a Stand That the Individual Matters, every person affects the outcome
