I designed this guide to help entrepreneur's navigate the opaque world of coaching. I also created this guide to help them assess and find an amazing coach who is a strong match. Fit is incredibly important because it has a direct impact on the strength of the alliance and quality of outcomes.
This guide is broken up into a number of sections. First, I provide an overview on what coaching actually is. I then share insights into the coaches toolbox. Said another way, the experiences, skills and certifications that a coach may have. From there, we'll dive into how you can run a process and determine fit. I then highlight coaches and organizations that have been recommended by your peers. On our way to wrapping up, I share how you can think about pricing and ROI. Finally, I leave you with some resources if you want to go deeper into coaching.
Working with a coach is a big investment in time, money and energy. Both sides should feel charged to co-create a partnership, embark on a life-changing journey and grow together over time. That's why going into the process armed with guidance and information is so critical. Good luck!
The Greater Atlanta Medical Managers Association (GAMMA) invited Gary Wheeler to speak at their 1/2 day conference on HR Best Practices for increasing productivity and profitability through staff.
A workshop and community that helps each other build good habits, one at a time. These slides were used during our first ever workshop in New York City on December 13, 2017. More info can be found at onechangeclub.com or you can follow us on Twitter at @onechangeclub.

How to make a world of difference in a challenging world. It starts with a big enough reason to lead, then a reviewing and reorganising of our mindset, engaging team commitment through effective communications, and inspiring your followers to step up with excitement. It\'s not easy - and yet it\'s worth the effort.
Lately, it seems that process became trendier than core leadership skills. Agile, Scrum, Kanban stole the focus.
BUT - it is leadership that fuels process adoption rather than process auto-magically fixing disfunction teams.
In this talk we'll explore what went wrong in this process adoption race: from hiring or promoting the wrong people, avoid setting clear expectations from our leaders, to dropping lean practices due to lack of deep understanding (forgetting why we started to begin with).
The dark side is interesting to explore, but we are here for the bright light - we will bring the FOCUS back to how we want our leadership to look like.
We'll try to figure out how we want our leaders to look like in the "Agile era"
Agenda:

- The essence
- Goals balance
- Surviving in chaos
- Team leader definition
- Business vision
- Throughput .vs. latency
- Confidence is not cheap
- Risks management
- Beautiful code
- Beautiful document
== THE HOW ==
- Visibility over progress
- Must, Delegate and External
- Ownership as a driver
- Define “minimum working unit” early
- Define “done” that works for you
- Quality is God (or at least Jesus)
- Test to last
- Bullets knowledge base

Rethinking Library Acquisition: Demand-Driven Purchasing for Scholarly Books
Librarians must reconsider how they collect monographs. Traditionally, academic libraries purchase books to support their curricular and research needs, without much consideration of use. Even though 40% or more of books in most academic libraries never get used, this model makes sense in a world in which books go out of print, shelf space is available, and collection budgets are stable. But the world has changed: as publishers shift to an electronic model, books will not go out of print, libraries are under pressure to convert shelf space to study space; and libraries have fewer funds to purchase books annually. This panel will discuss approaches to demand-driven acquisition of monographs at two institutions: the University of Arizona and the University of Denver. While discussing plans being developed at these libraries, we will also look at implications for libraries in general, scholarly publishing, book vendors and academia.
Moderator: Becky Clark, Marketing Director, Johns Hopkins University Press
Panelists: Matt Nauman, Director of Publisher Relations, Blackwell; Michael Levine-Clark, Collections Librarian, University of Denver; Stephen Bosch, Materials Budget, Procurement, and Licensing Librarian, University of Arizona Library; Kim Anderson, Senior Collection Development Manager and Bibliographer, YBP Library Services
The benefits of integrating Open Source alternatives in their commercial projects by using tools such as WordPress. I will also discuss how to optimize your web presence with Social techniques like twitter and Facebook, how to build a community around your brand, and what it takes to organize and manage large Open Source projects and communities such as PHUG.

*Stress questions
management
4. Redefining Style
• It’s not about adding one thing or not
doing another…
• it’s about making and breaking habits,
• which then becomes a lifestyle.
5. Redefining Style
• Ask your employees what they need to
get out of work (besides a paycheck)
and what they want in a work
environment.
• Why do they keep coming back
everyday?
6. Psychology
• Spin things to your advantage
• Try not to say “I’m sorry”
• Mistakes are going to happen…
we’re all human
• Surround yourself with positives
• Examine your goals
• Overcome your obstacles
7. ROI on Retention
• True budgetary value
• Synergy within your team
• Time value
• Skill level
8. Reasons for Turnover
• Not getting along with their direct
supervisor
• Desire for more money
• Need for better work/life balance
• Lack of career growth, challenging
assignments
Per Workforce Management
9. Reasons Employees Stay
• Clear and promising direction
• Confidence in leaders (that’s YOU!)
• Collaboration
• Development opportunities
• Per the Hay Group- International Consulting Firm
10. Respect
• If you respect those around you, then it
reciprocates.
• Be honest
• Be open to discussion
• Brainstorm with your subordinates (they
may have some good ideas)
• Offer and ask for feedback (just take it and
go… keep it informal)
11. Recognition
• Rewards
• Notes (letters, certificates, emails)
• Praise (privately and/or in front of
peers*/leadership)
• Raises and promotions
13. Recognition
• Praise
• When an executive member asks how
things are going… you can say,
“Things are really good. Susie
developed a process that has made our
jobs much easier. I am proud of what a
good team I have.”
14. Recognition
• Raises and promotions
• When
• How much
• Intradepartment
• What if there is nowhere to go up?
17. Resolving Conflict
• You must be comfortable, not overbearing, as
the voice of authority.
• Remain calm and focused on the solution, not
the problem… do not get on the defense.
• There is little logic in anger- address that
there is a problem and set a later time to
discuss it.
• KEY- State the obvious and ask for
collaboration towards a solution.
19. Stress Management
• We can’t avoid stress
• We can eliminate some of it and know
how to best handle the rest.
• Organization leads to a more pleasant
environment.
• KEY- Listen to your body!
20. Stress Management
• Team Management
• Utilize your resources intra and
interdepartmental
• Delegate with set periodical deadlines
(ie. Phase 1, phase 2…)
• Follow-up
• Compliment worthy efforts
• Let employees have their break
22. Project Management
• The discipline of organizing and managing
resources in such a way that these resources
deliver all the work required to complete a
project within a defined scope.
• Since each project is particular to itself, one
must have creative problem-solving skills.
• The project manager strives to maintain the
progress and productive interactions.
23. Project Management
• Leads to having an organized
management style; not reactionary.
• Clear, effective communication leads to
clear expectations.
• It’s not that people intentionally don’t want
to do their job well, most often it is
because they do not understand how to.
24. Project Management
• Deadlines
• Cut out the clutter
• Organization leads to a “groove”
• Don’t get stressed, get focused
• Communicate clearly (and joke around)
• No one is perfect
26. Cross-Train and Mentor
• Adds value to your team members
• Creates a seamless team (in case
someone is out)
• Allows for collaboration
27. Cross-Train and Mentor
Set a time biweekly for your staff to cross-train
Develop team projects (with cross-training in
mind, not deadline)
Does everyone in your department get a mentor,
or only those interested?
Does mentoring stay within your department, or
does it run cross-campus?
28. Cross-Train and Mentor
• The hard part about this is the time
commitment.
• How can your department handle that?
29. Coaching
• Continually bringing your employees to
the next level.
• “You did this report really well, and I
understand the information. Next time you
may want to do xyz so that it is easier to
read at a glance.”
• Coaching can also be used as a “learning
experience.”
30. Effective Performance Evals
• Be honest and tactful
• Start off with the EE’s position’s value to TSD
(and specifically your dept)
• Tell the EE your agenda- to start off with
areas for improvement and then move on to
their strengths
• Review top 3 strengths, 2 areas of
improvement and link them to TSD’s goals
(mission, district improvement plan,
workforce plan…)
31. TSD’s Mission
• Our mission is to ensure that deaf students
achieve personal excellence by providing an
exemplary education and student life
program that fosters learning in a visually
accessible, safe and positive environment.
We also strive to improve the lives of deaf
students, professionals and families in Texas
by providing a complete array of outreach
services.
32. 360 Evaluation
• Can be casual and informal
• After the EE’s eval has been signed and
finalized (so there is no threat) ask them for
feedback on your management:
• How can I assist you in achieving your goals for areas of
improvement?
• Do you feel like you have the resources and support that
you need?
• What can I do better as your supervisor?
• Any other comments or concerns that you would like to
share?
33. Notes
In Jim Collin’s book Good to Great, the premise is that
“the right people in the right places yields vision and
strategy naturally.”
“Not keeping New Year’s resolutions is like not following
through with a strategy. We know what to do, the
hard part is adhering to the plan.”
from Win or Lose? You Choose.
34. Review
• New behaviors become a lifestyle
• Be honest and open to discussion
• Credit due where credit earned
• Nip it in the bud
• Remain calm and focused on the
solution
• State the obvious and collaborate on a
solution
35. Review
• Listen to your body
• Clear, effective communication leads to clear
expectations for everyone
• Plan, delegate and follow-up
• Don’t get stressed, get focused
• No one is perfect
• Training allows for collaboration
• Link EE eval to TSD’s goals
36. Review
• Listen to your employees- ask them
what they want from their position at
TSD
• Get organized
• Be committed
37. The Buy In
• Retention = higher skill level
• Loyalty = dedication to you personally

• Fosters team relations
• More productive team
38. The How To
• Psychology • Stress Management
• Respect • Project Management
• Recognition • Cross-train and Mentor
• Resolving • Coaching
Conflict • Give Effective
Evaluations
39. Questions

to shape that desired culture?
