In-depth Coaching Packages
Precise guidance woven into the workflow
When your experts are too busy with technical work to take time out for group training, coaching enables them to learn while they do their day-to-day tasks.
Rather than being anchored in a set of learning outcomes that apply to a large group, a coaching engagement focuses on learning outcomes particular to an individual or team.
Rather than getting feedback on realistic exercises and assignments, learners get feedback on communication in real time. The engagement centers on actual work product, with Dr. Dawn Henwood providing input, targeted instruction, and detailed feedback.
With this level of personalization, learning is accelerated. When the entire team participates, team dynamics and work processes improve too because you can’t separate how people communication from how they collaborate.
We offer coaching packages for individual executives and for teams.

Executive Coaching
For senior leaders or those about to move into a senior role.
A series of sessions (45 minutes via Zoom) focused on a specific communication situation the leader is facing or a particular area of communication they’d like to improve. The sessions can take place bi-weekly, weekly, or more often if the leader is gearing up to deliver a high-stakes document or presentation within a tight timeline.
Between sessions, the leader can access Dawn via email for up to 2 hours a month of written feedback on drafts and answers to questions about how to approach communication situations.

Team Coaching
When you need multiple experts on a team to quickly improve how they communicate, team coaching gets everyone aligned while providing an accelerated learning experience.
Team coaching combines short, targeted training sessions with individual or small-group coaching. The training establishes common guidelines; individual or small-group coaching enables each team member to practice applying them to their work.
Individual coaching can happen via 30-minute Zoom sessions or in-depth email reviews. Both modes are equally effective, and it helps to have flexible options when a deadline is looming.
We offer three base packages, ranging from six weeks to six months or longer. Some clients add writing, editing, or graphic design services to achieve an extra level of polish. Those services are scoped and quoted as an add-on to the standard package.
