Interpersonal skills training and coaching

At times, groups or individuals within groups may need some help relating effectively with other people. This is particularly true of hard-charging, technically-oriented professionals as are often found in the construction industry. Using our diagnostic approach, we help contractor leadership determine what interpersonal skill improvements will yield the most leverage, and we map out training and development activities for them.

Examples of some of the skills we assist contractors with include interpersonal style awareness, communication, conflict resolution, delegation and supervision, emotional intelligence and reaction to adversity. Given the continuing focus on workforce development and demographic trends pointing toward more shortages of key talent, people development is more critical than ever before. We help contractors with people development through interpersonal skills training.

"Bill assisted our Firm in reviewing a newly developed firm-wide compensation/employee goal program. He met with our management team, who was part of the development of the new plan, and was able to unearth concerns and issues that the team was not comfortable with bringing up themselves. His insight allowed us to make modifications to our plan that alleviated those concerns and helped us in our internal communication. Since the implementation of our compensation/goal plan, we have been ranked as one of the top twenty-five best managed CPA firms in the country, three out of the last four years a significant portion of that credit goes to Bill’s assistance in the development of our compensation/goal plan."
