Coaching
Susan Fischer-Maki, is currently becoming a Lumia Certified Life Coach (anticipated completion in August 2023), and is now available to provide personal and professional coaching services.
These sessions are designed to help individuals and teams reach their full potential in both their personal and professional lives and can serve as an enhancement to the consulting services of Common Thread Consulting.
Clients have the option to focus on either their personal or professional spheres, depending on their goals and needs. Susan’s coaching sessions are tailored to meet each client’s unique needs, and all coaching experiences utilize an Appreciative Inquiry approach.
Individual Coaching
During individual coaching sessions with Susan, clients can expect to set meaningful goals and develop an action plan to achieve them. She works to help clients develop self-awareness and gain insight into their strengths and areas for growth.
Individual coaching provides space for clients to: learn new skills and strategies for personal and professional development; enhance their communication and relationship-building skills; and, cultivate a positive mindset and improve overall well-being. All of this is built on a foundation of trust and safety, where clients will receive ongoing support, accountability, and encouragement from Susan throughout their coaching journey.
Susan designs each coaching session to be client-centered, engaging, interactive, and empowering. Clients will feel heard, understood, and supported throughout the coaching process, and will leave each session feeling inspired and motivated to take action towards achieving their goals.
Small Group And Team Coaching
Susan also provides small group and team coaching services that are fully customizable to meet the unique needs and goals of the group or team members. This approach to coaching is an effective way to build cohesive and high-performing groups and teams, and can help to identify and leverage the strengths of the team members.
Team coaching sessions can be designed to help teams improve communication, collaboration, and overall performance, and can be tailored to meet the specific needs and goals of each team.
During team coaching sessions, Susan collaborates with team members to identify the strengths and assets that are contributing to the team’s success.
Whether you’re looking to build a more cohesive team, improve communication and collaboration, or enhance overall team performance, coaching services can help. With her asset-based approach, Susan will work with your team to identify the specific strengths that are contributing to your team’s success, and will develop a tailored approach to help your team achieve its goals.
Hogan Assessments
In addition to her coaching services, Susan has been certified to deliver the Hogan Suite of inventories, which can help clients better understand their current strengths and build meaningful personal and professional development plans. These inventories can be added to any coaching service or as a stand-alone consultation service.
Hogan uses an iceberg analogy to explain their assessments: The visible part above the waterline includes “What You Do” and “How You Do It” which are the business and people results and the observed behaviors that lead to those results. The invisible part below the waterline is “Why You Do It,” which includes personality characteristics that impact behavior.
The Hogan assessments facilitate self-awareness and help individuals understand their underlying work style traits, core values, and derailment risks that may impact behavior. This allows them to manage their behavior for increased workplace success.
These assessments can also help organizations identify characteristics that may impact an individual’s job performance and their fit within a particular role, team, or organizational culture. This strategic self-awareness provided by the Hogan assessments can improve an individual’s job performance and help them fit into their organization’s culture better.
By taking these inventories and receiving a debrief of their results with Susan, clients can gain insight into their strengths, areas for improvement, and core values and interests. This information can be used to inform their coaching journey and help them to build meaningful personal and professional development plans.
Whether added to an existing coaching service or used as a stand-alone consultation service, the Hogan Suite of inventories can provide valuable insights that help clients to achieve their goals and reach their full potential.
