Planning for change and transformation is an ongoing process in all organizations, precipitated by internal and external factors. Processes for managing culture change include organizational climate studies and other assessments, interviews with stakeholders, and other data that inform the planning process. We collaborate with leaders to identify data-informed strategic priorities. Examples of focused areas of change include:

• Examination of ongoing change processes and their impact
• Organizational need assessment
• Preparation of effective change implementation and management processes
• Effective organization communication process
• Skills and knowledge development for successful transition/change processes
• Process evaluation and benchmarking toward effective change

Fortifying one’s capabilities and career direction may require support and guidance from an executive coach. Coaching is goal-oriented, addressing here-and-now challenges and also with an eye out for future opportunities. Individual coaching sessions are twice a month for 10 months.

Small Group Coaching is for individuals from similar industries (i.e., nursing administration) or from the same organization. Small group coaching involves monthly meetings for 8 months and is limited to 8 individuals per group.

Let us know if you would like to know more about the individual or small group coaching.

Cultural and emotional intelligence are self-knowledge assets to ground and guide one’s interpersonal interactions for inclusive leadership practices. Through self-assessments, participants examine their interpersonal tendencies, inclusive leadership gaps and assets, and adaptability to engage across diverse contexts with different individuals. The AAG team can assist individuals/leadership teams in the following areas:

• Inclusive leadership development (i.e., emotional intelligence, effective communications, self-awareness, recognition of interpersonal biases)
• Building and fostering alignment within leadership teams
• Managing performance and cultivating a thriving team
  • Supervision, including active listening, giving feedback, and conducting difficult conversations
  • Purposeful mentoring of individuals and small groups
  • Influencing without applying power dynamics
  • Empathy-driven and responding effectively to personal/emotional/ behavioral concerns in the workplace

This process is built into executive coaching and is also provided to organizational teams.

Latinas are stepping into leadership positions with tried skills, bicultural experiences, and ambitions to advance their careers. Often, they are the first or one of a few Latinas in an organization. Being above average may be a motivator to do more, but not necessary when a woman recognizes her cultural and professional assets. This is an intergenerational institute for women who want to affirm their confidence and capabilities as leaders.

The description for the six-month seminar is provided upon request.

AAG focuses on multifaceted skill development for managers and supervisors, individual contributors, and organizational leaders in different industries. At AAG, we believe that meaningful change involves three critical steps: 1) Reflective conversation to determine areas in need of attention; 2) Individual/Organization self-assessments in the identified areas in need of attention; and 3) Collaborative planning of skill development interventions (i.e., workshops, team development, individual sessions). Sample skill development areas are:

• Emotional intelligence skills to guide workplace relationships
• Effective communication skills
• Examination of intersecting identities, both visible and invisible, and biases
  • Cultural intelligence (CQ) skills to increase self-knowledge and the worldview of others
  • Facilitating effective meetings and group processes
• Facilitating and resolving conflict, managing boundaries, interpersonal, interdepartmental, and other workplace dynamics
• Being a contributing team member (Fostering productive work teams)
• Learning processes and skills to self-evaluate
• Effective presentation skills

We welcome inquiries from organizations and individuals.
