Case Studies:
Leadership Development
Leadership Development -- Building a bridge
of focus, goals and the future?
Coaching enabled me to focus,
develop business plans, become a more effective
leader and communicator, and set goals. I truly
do not believe I would have accomplished all of
the above without Shannon's guidance, expertise
and knowledge."
General Manager and Vice
President, Miami, Florida
Greatest Contribution: The largest
contribution has been the recognition of my
strengths and opportunities as a leader. I have
had weekly sessions with Shannon Cassidy. These
sessions enabled me to focus, develop business
plans, become a more effective leader and
communicator, and set goals. I truly do not
believe I would have accomplished all of the
above without Shannon's guidance, expertise and
knowledge.
Impact on Business: After three years of a
merger, I have been able to establish trust with
my Divisional Vice President. With respect to my
immediate direct reports, each person has a
better understanding of their specific career
goals and the developmental suggestions to
achieve their aspirations. Our team today is
focused with high energy and a tremendous trust
factor.
Team Building -- Strengthening core
interpersonal relationships for greater success
Shannon's suggestions and
experience helped me understand ways to see
things differently, more productively, and helps
me gain more out of a situation. Basically,
Shannon has offered me a better road map of
approaches for each day".
Director of Operations, New
York, New York
Greatest Contribution: Managing the
operations for 160 people brings on hourly
struggles, choices and challenges and Shannon's
coaching and guidance has offered me eye opening
new methods of approach. She is inspiring and
thought provoking. My direct boss and I have a
better working relationship and understanding of
each others habits, pace, needs and priorities.
Shannon has helped me grow to understanding how
best to use my strengths and I see the results
more and more with those I am here to support:
160 people.
Personally, having a coach has been something I
really look forward to. Each session is a way
for me to gather some of the recent challenges I
have faced and discuss them and analyze them
from several vantage points. Shannon's
suggestions and experience helps me understand
ways to see things differently, more
productively, and helps me gain more out of a
situation. Basically, Shannon has offered me a
better road map of approaches for each day.
Impact on Business: Having Shannon's
coaching and learning more about how to use my
strengths, helped me to bond more with a
specific group... it is rewarding to see progress,
and I know it is due to Shannon's coaching and
how that has offered me a new vision on how I
might connect with them.
Communication
--
Building a bridge of
understanding, balance and clarity
I realize the importance of a
more balanced life. There is a
life after work that begins
before 7:30PM (when I would
leave work)
–
and I enjoy my relaxation time,
outdoor activities, and weekends
more!"
Director of IT, Atlanta,
Georgia
Greatest Contribution: We created an "action
plan" and I submitted "preparation forms" each
week before our phone discussion. We talked
about problems and opportunities at length. She
boosted my morale and my confidence each week,
and helped me identify my "blindspots" at work,
as well as re-discover my strengths/talents, and
reminded me to be more patient.
One
of the perceptions some people had of me at work
is that I am "unapproachable" and, at times,
"too direct."
Impact on Business: Yes, my personal and
professional gains have favorably impacted my
organization. Shortly after my coaching process
started, I had to create several major client
presentations, and make 40+ presentations before
large and small client groups on a new product,
which is entering our market... for the first time
they began asking me to accompany them on major
sales calls out of town and to participate in
more client pitches. I have contributed to
increased sales and teamwork.
In
addition, I realize the importance of a more
balanced life. There is a life after work that
begins before 7:30PM (when I would leave work)
–
and I enjoy my relaxation time, outdoor
activities, and weekends more!
Job Promotion
--
Creating a strong foundation for
the future
Your coaching helped me to be
more effective as a senior executive in two
challenging positions, and what I learn from you
has also contributed to my relationships with my
family. Our coaching sessions really affect
every area of my life."
Executive Director, Austin,
Texas
During our sessions, your incisive questions
always shed a whole new light on whatever I am
working on. I've reached pivotal turning
points... I have learned so much about myself in
working with you."
Self Discovery
--
Success begins from the inside
out
I now have great balance and
inner peace. This has served me well
professionally, for I am no longer afraid that
if I do not overexert myself I will fail."
Organizational Development,
Miami, Florida
Greatest Contribution: From a personal
perspective, coaching has assisted me in
identifying my inner strengths and limitations
by stimulating thoughtful moments of reflection.
I am a mother of two, a wife to a disabled man,
a loyal daughter and a passionate
professional... Giving a 100% and excelling in all
of these areas a 100% of the time was an
expectation I was harshly holding myself
accountable to.
I now
have great balance and inner peace. This has
served me well professionally, for I am no
longer afraid that if I do not overexert myself
I will fail. This renewed attitude has given me
great strength in the areas of communication and
relationship building across all levels of the
organization I work for.
Impact on Business: My experience with
Shannon has opened my eyes to a whole new world.
It's interesting, I now not only have the time
to generously balance time between my family and
work, but I am dedicating time to a life long
dream. I am currently writing a book and
positioning myself as an author and public
speaker. Clearly, prior to my coaching
experience, this was only a dream. Today, I have
the courage and drive to make it happen. I am no
longer waiting for all of the "stuff" that's
suppose to happen to happen in order to fulfill
my goals. I have a keen awareness of my value
and talents.
As a
result of this developmental investment, the
organization I work for has greatly benefited. I
am clear on who I am as an individual and
professional. Through a series of planned
exercises, Shannon has assisted me in
identifying my desired career path. Confusion
and indecisiveness is no longer apart of my
interactions with others regarding my path.
Additionally, my awareness of where I want to be
has instilled dynamic confidence in my work. I
am no longer timid to share my opinions and or
recommendations.
