FAQs
- Q. Who is CourageWorks’ target client?
A. This is our most frequently asked question. Because
our skills have universal appeal, we are more attractive to leaders
with a specific purpose than to a particular market segment.
- Q. What are some examples of a leader’s purpose?
A. A few common purposes are: to grow the current and future leaders
of the organization; to reengage a company affected by difficult times;
to guide a major cultural shift; to create strong, effective leadership
teams; to develop and/or clarify strategy; to merge two cultures following
an acquisition; to embrace social responsibility.
In all cases, executive leaders are seeking a high level of mastery
from the consultants who guide these initiatives.
- Q. What distinguishes your work from other leadership-consulting
firms?
A. Because no two organizations are alike, our engagements are
highly customized. We bring a full complement of expert tools,
models and intelligent resources to guide every process, yet our keenly
adaptive teaching and facilitation skills are what separate us – and
make the largest impact for the client.
- Q. Can your services be unbundled?
A. Yes, executive coaching and team building workshops are good
examples of services that can be engaged on a stand-alone basis. Many
of our tools can also be applied separately if a client chooses.
- Q. What is involved in a typical engagement?
A. Unbundled services involve a few weeks or months, including
prep, delivery and debrief. Similarly, a retreat such as Dream
Building can be a one-time event.
Our larger intention is to serve leaders who yearn to make a significant
difference, both internally and externally. A new brand of leaders
creating high-performing organizations that are both fiscally and socially
responsible – these are mutually rewarding engagements that require
commitment, persistence and discipline. Timelines vary depending
upon whether the organization takes the teachings in-house, among other
factors. A successful transformation is a long-term commitment,
not a short-term fix, and is intended to become a way of being that
deeply strengthens the organization for years.
- Q. What are the measurable results of a CourageWorks engagement?
A. Early outcomes typically include reduced turnover and recruiting
costs, improved survey data, and lower expenses. In time, client
retention rates, improved sales to existing customers, new business
revenues, stronger earnings and other critical bottom line measures
also improve.
- Q. How would you summarize CourageWorks’ services?
A. We provide a unique blend of consulting, coaching, working
retreats and supporting tools and systems that deliver a powerful new
model for 21st Century leadership.
Our intention is to help leaders create high-performing organizations
that inspire excellence and serve purposefully. We seek to optimize
the organization’s potential by re-engaging human aspects that
yearn to connect, explore and accomplish great things together.
A cultural transformation of this nature strengthens the organization
to its core
and effectively serves the triple bottom line: people, profit
and planet.
