Tim's services:

  1. In-depth executive assessment, feedback, & goal setting: Tim uses interview-based 360 surveys to conduct in-depth, customized assessments of executives, often in combination with personality testing, and uses that data to provide practical feedback on improving leadership impact.
  2. Executive coaching: Often following an in-depth assessment, Tim uses his accumulated knowledge from a career of researching and working with leaders, to provide one-to-one coaching for executives to help them strengthen their effectiveness.
  3. Workshops: Tim offers two customized workshops for executive audiences. The first is titled 'How leaders can challenge, push, and pull teams to the limit of performance, without breaking them.' This content is based on Tim's original research, using data from 36 executive interviews. The second workshop is titled 'Foundational leadership concepts for new executives,' and summarizes all the key drivers and derailers of leadership effectiveness that Tim has learned about in his 18 year career, distilled from both academic sources and his practical experience.
  4. Leadership circles: Tim facilitates groups of executives in discussing similar leadership challenges, asking them to share experiences, solutions, advice, and support for one another. These circles help carve out dedicated time for leaders to think about development amidst pressing day-to-day demands, and are a cost effective way to involve several executives in a growth experience at once.
  5. Culture audits: Using the same in-depth, qualitative data gathering methods he uses for executive 360s, Tim conducts numerous interviews to investigate cultural friction points, so teams, functions, and organizations can address them and become higher performing.
