Coaching

Do Your People Possess the Skills They Need to Succeed?

I have worked with hundreds of people to implement and customize the QuietSpacing® method into their daily working environments. Whether the coaching follows a training seminar or we start fresh, coaching clients learn dozens of ways to reduce the interruptions and distractions that litter their day and reduce their focus and productivity.   The pay back is immediate – each six-minute increase in productivity results in 24 more hours of accomplishment a year!

Because QuietSpacing® is a way of getting things done, individual coaching is more of a re-training environment than a traditional developmental environment. Thus, implementation coaching can be accomplished in a much shorter time frame than, say, leadership development.

I have crafted a highly effective coaching system that gets results fast.  It’s called the QuietSpacing Bootcamp® and there’s a program for individuals and small groups.

Individual QuietSpacing® Bootcamp

Gone are the days of multi-week and multi-month coaching engagements where time slots must be carved out for coaching over an extended period of time.  There simply isn’t time. Getting QuietSpacing® implemented is no different. That’s how the bootcamp program was developed. The process is straight forward and highly effective, resulting in a complete implementation in a fraction of the time it takes traditional coaching methods to achieve the same result.

Program Specifics: Materials Included: Program Requirements:
  • Preliminary scoping call to discuss the specific nature of the environment in which the client works and the particular challenges being faced.
  • First one-hour in-depth coaching call, via WebEx, to setup and train the client on the QuietSpacing® architecture.
  • First two-hour in-office coaching session focused on getting QuietSpacing® implemented and customized to the client’s specific needs.
  • Second two-hour in-office coaching session to further customize QuietSpacing® to the clients needs. (Note, these are done two days in a row.)
  • Second one-hour coaching call one week after the onsite visit to discuss what has been working and what further customization is required to complete the engagement.
  • Unlimited follow-up sessions tailored to the individual’s specific needs.
  • Detailed update e-mails after each coaching session explaining the content covered during the session, along with any “homework” assigned for completion by the next session.
  • 110-page QuietSpacing® Implementation Guide.
  • QuietSpacing® QuickStart Card.
  • One year full access to the upcoming QuietSpacing cloud learning platform.
  • Subscription to the monthly Six Minutes to Success newsletter, to quarterly Just a Moment newsletter, and the Gets Books distribution list.
To conduct a successful QuietSpacing Small Group Bootcamp, we need:

  • A commitment by the participant to the change process, which mandates an open mind and a willingness to try.
  • The use of Microsoft Outlook 2010 for Windows for Outlook 2011 for the Mac.

QuietSpacing® Bootcamp for Small Groups

Staying in front of the curve. Getting more done. Enjoying greater satisfaction. Those are the goals QuietSpacing seeks to achieve. One of the best ways to accomplish this is through individualized attention in the setup and implementation of the QuietSpacing method. The downside of an individual engagement is that it can be cost-prohibitive.

Enter the QuietSpacing Small Group Bootcamp. We’ve taken the best features of the Individual QuietSpacing Bootcamp and customized them to fit the small group environment. Those features are listed below, but the real value is that up to ten people can become QuietSpacing experts at the same time and in very short order!

Program Specifics: Materials Included: Program Requirements:
  • Small class size (minimum of five, maximum of ten).
  • One copy each of the QuietSpacing 2nd Edition book and it’s companion QuickStart Card. (The first two chapters are assigned as homework.)
  • Initial one-hour group WebEx session covering the QuietSpacing architecture and operational flow.  (Note, this is recorded for later review by participants.)
  • Two three-hour onsite group implementation sessions held on consecutive days.
  • Two one-hour followup WebEx sessions, starting approximately one week after the onsite work, to discuss the various successes and challenges faced by the group. (This session is also recorded for later review by the participants.)
  • Detailed group e-mails following each session that review what was covered during that session.
  • 110-page QuietSpacing® Implementation Guide.
  • QuietSpacing® QuickStart Card.
  • One year full access to the upcoming QuietSpacing cloud learning platform.
  • Subscription to the monthly Six Minutes to Success newsletter, to quarterly Just a Moment newsletter, and the Gets Books distribution list.
To conduct a successful QuietSpacing Small Group Bootcamp, we need:

  • A minimum of five participants and a maximum of ten participants.
  • A commitment by each participant to the change process, which mandates an open mind and a willingness to try.
  • The use of Microsoft Outlook 2010 for Windows for Outlook 2011 for the Mac.
  • A meeting room that will accommodate up to ten people that has internet access, an LCD projector, and a screen.
