Shadow Coaching

Shadow Coaching Program

This program is designed to assist the client in creating more efficient processes to accomplish not only more things, but the right things, in less time.

It’s difficult to keep track and assess what we do all day long. With such limited time, we’re always looking forward, with little or no time spent looking backwards to examine our work processes. Most of our lives are lived on automatic pilot. For that reason, the shadow coach is essential. By partnering with your coach, you’ll have another set of eyes observing what you do and how you do it over a period of days. Each day, you’ll receive a debrief of the observations and at the end an action plan with follow up weekly coaching to keep you on track

So much of our time is wasted during the day due to rework (not doing something fully the first time), engaging in unnecessary processes, flitting around from task to task rather than concentrating on one task for a specified time, allowing others to take us off track, and engaging in other time wasters, like face-to-face meetings when a telephone call or an exchange of emails would have been much more time efficient.

This program aligns closely with the Environments of Excellence™ program. Doing the right things and doing them right has a direct impact on the bottom line. Every minute that isn’t focused on what matters most to your business is actually working against you and adversely impacting the bottom line.

Once you receive feedback on your behavior, you can work with Tara to design a program to re-engineer processes so they are more effective and efficient, as well as highly aligned with your goals.

Shadow Coaching can

Help you see what you do and how you interact with others on a daily basis
Reduce the friction and delay of processes you engage in frequently
Reduce your energy consumption once you redesign your processes for maximum efficiency
Reduce your overall stress because you're doing the right things more effectively

This program keeps you highly aligned with your new work plan to ensure that new processes are sustainable. This program includes an in depth work assessment, weekly meetings, and focused actions steps aligned with a weekly Coaching Scorecard.
