Services

Ernstmann Consulting provides facilitation and consulting services targeting four areas crucial to every organization's success:

Coaching
With the dynamic nature of today's business world, leaders are now more challenged than ever to communicate, collaborate, and commit quickly and efficiently. At Ernstmann Consulting we help leaders meet these challenges through coaching that is both reflective and action oriented. Our coaches have graduated from the accredited Coaches Training Institute (CTI), which is the first school to receive accreditation through the International Coaching Federation. All of our coaches have completed more than 100 hours of formal training and coaching.

Leadership Development & Mentoring
We work with clients to design leadership development programs tailored to your organization. We encourage clients to charter a cross-functional design team to work with us in customizing the program to the organization. We are experienced in using action learning whereby participants solve real business issues through a defined problem-solving process. We also believe in a "Leaders teaching Leaders" philosophy and work to build programs that utilize internal leaders as teachers, combined with external experts.

Managing Organizational Transition
Everyone has gone through a company reorganization and knows the pitfalls and pains frequently involved. Ernstmann Consulting can help you manage this transition period more effectively. We work with you to create and implement strategies that clarify roles, build a shared vision and promote buy-in. Managing change is about managing an event, but managing transition is about managing people's personal reactions and concerns to the change.

Strategic Visioning
Our consultants have many years of experience facilitating Executive Team strategic visioning retreats and team planning sessions. Using tools like corporate culture audits, environmental scanning, SWOT analysis, portfolio assessment and visioning, we work with groups to gain consensus and ownership of the path forward. Through this approach, all members participate in the process, which increases accountability and promotes commitment. We can also assist in the development of tactical action plans to support the vision.

Team Building
Tense relationships, frustration with co-workers and confusing signals from management can all destroy a team, lead to lackluster performance and create conflict in the workplace. We work with you to analyze what is impacting your team's ability to achieve goals and get results. Employing a variety of tools, including the Leadership Circle 360-degree Assessment & Organizational Culture Audit, personal style inventories and interviews, we assess team and organizational dynamics to understand what is working and what is not. We use these tools to improve the effectiveness of not only entire organizations but individuals and teams as well. Our goal is to leverage team strengths, identify tangible areas to improve and create an actionable plan to overcome them.
