Professional Coaching w/ Brad Humphrey, The Contractor’s Best Friend (TM)

+

Pinnacle Development Group is more than prepared to provide professional coaching for professional coachingyour executives, senior leaders, mid-level leaders, and even front line supervisors. Whether coaching a Project Manager in a General Construction company or a Corporate “Junior Executive” preparing to ascend to running a division or company, PDG can provide you with the personal and confidential coach that can bring the very best out of your leaders.

For the leader who has never had a professional business coach, we recommend using Brad Humphrey’s Professional Image: The Making of a Leader© coaching book. This development tool has now been used for more than ten years and by hundreds of coaches with thousands of “players”.

Because the response to Professional Image has been so great, a sequel to continue the development of a professional has now been completed and is called, Championship Leading©. This coaching resource was developed for the seasoned leader who can still raise their leadership, who still seeks the challenge to be better in their skills and effectiveness as a leader. It is also ideal for the leader who has already been through the Professional Image: The Making of a Leader© and is looking for a continuation in their development.

The PDG Coaches are seasoned professionals who bring your leaders to greater heights of leading their staff. Coaching sessions can take place between a PDG Coach and your leader “live” and in person and now by use of an electronic medium such as Face-Time or Skype when needed.

Pre-Coaching Assessments

Both the Professional Image: The Making of a Leader© and Championship Leading© are built around the needs of the individual. Prior to actual coaching, a series of “pre-coaching” assessments are recommended, including:

  • Self-Assessment Inventory (PDG Document)
  • Feedback from Senior Leaders, Peers, Sub-Ordinates (PDG Document)
  • Communication Profile Assessment (Several Profiles Available)
  • Discussion of Past Employee Performance Reviews (Your Company Based Document)

Pinnacle Development Group has had tremendous success working with leaders in many stages of development, from those who needed a complete “make-over” to those just needing some “fine-tuning”.

The PDG coaching experience with most individuals can range from six to twelve sessions. Each session should be 2-4 hours in length and be about 30-60 days apart. The sessions are filled with good and applicable discussions, role-plays, and personal responsibility assessment. Leaving each coaching session, the individual is given “homework” that will require their continued focus, challenges to implement their new learned techniques, and maintaining a “log” to review with their coach at their next session.

Do you have one or more individuals who might greatly benefit from a focus on them and their leadership? Then let a PDG Professional Coach help you get your future leaders to the next level!

Training Workshops

+

Pinnacle Development Group has been engaged with conducting public and private “on-site” training workshops for more than twenty-five years. Topics? Just go back and review those listed on the Curriculum and Inner Company Writing page. And that’s just a sampling.

It is, however, the forum and format that can turn any training environment into the learning experience that you want it to be. Pinnacle Development Group creates workshops that are high on participation, role-play scenarios, open discussion, and motivated learning. When participants leave a PDG workshop they are mentally prepared and physically capable of putting their new learned practices into action.

Pinnacle Development Group believes that when training, the learning must be practical and hands-on. PDG is focused on putting effective how-to’s into the minds and hands of those in attendance. You don’t invest in training to merely have your people hear about some good principles; you invest in training so that your people immediately change their behavior, thus, impacting performance and success for all involved.

Training workshops presented by Pinnacle Development Group range in time from half-day (3 hours) to full day (6-7 hours) to two-days. All of the topics listed on the Curriculum and Inner Company Writing page can be developed for a half to full day.

Training Workshops and Boot Camps

Pinnacle Development Group has developed several two-day workshops over the years (including recent all day sessions at National Pavement Expo and World of Concrete) that can also be tailored to your firm’s needs. The two-day format falls under what PDG calls their “Boot Camp Series” and includes:

  • Construction Leadership Boot-Camp*
  • Leadership Boot-Camp+
  • Sales Boot-Camp
  • The Professional Leader Boot-Camp
  • Communication Boot-Camp
  • The Ultimate Planning & Decision Making Boot-Camp

*Construction Leadership Boot-Camp is specifically designed for construction leaders including Superintendents, Project Managers, Foremen, Owners, and Project/Division Leaders

We guarantee that your people have never experienced training like they will from a Pinnacle Development Group training experience. Time flies by for those attending as they are kept on their seats edge through challenging discussions, group interactions, real-work simulations, and of course, always in an environment that is encouraging, motivating, and humorous.

Strategic Planning

+

When it comes to strategic planning, we at Pinnacle Development Group like to ask the following question:

Is it easier or more difficult for companies today to be successful?pdg_logo-symbol_matte

For most owners and leaders the answer to this question is unfortunately… “it’s much more difficult to be successful today.” Yet, for many organizations this potential reality is only a few strategic efforts away from moving to the affirmative.

No matter if you are a small and thriving business or a large and dominating organization, you need to make Strategic Planning part of your company’s continuous efforts. The days of being in the right place at the right time are fast fading. Simply stated, companies who grow are companies who plan on growing!

Strategic Planning is the one leadership initiative that can and does reposition a company to be “on their game,” “leader of the pack,” “know where we’re going.” It contains the vital components of assessment, vision creation and casting, practical steps of implementation, and follow-up and measurement.

Pinnacle Development Group can take your firm through the strategic planning process, A – Z if needed… OR… we can build on what you have completed in the past.

A fairly common error that companies make is to begin Strategic Planning, often successfully, only to lose focus and enthusiasm along the way. Pinnacle Development Group is your “accountability partner” to prevent this from happening.

Whether beginning planning with the company who has never been through the process or assisting the firm who needs to restart their previous Strategic Planning efforts, PDG will bring your processes to a whole new and profitable continuation!
