Get It Done! Breakthrough Day

This coaching “mini-retreat” is appropriate for continuing clients who need a major breakthrough, now!

We’ll spend a concentrated amount of time (in person) together, working to clarify your goal and break through whatever is holding you back.

Our mission is to help you leave the session with major breakthroughs and significant progress made toward a goal. If you’re a continuing client and need to gain major progress on a “make-or-break” issue, this is a powerful way to get out of your own way and get it done!

This package includes:

Half- or whole-day in-person breakthrough session in Oakland, DC, Cork, or Dublin*
Space, materials, food, and beverages for the time we spend together (You must be ready to unplug, disconnect, and focus for the entire time we work together!)

Highly recommended for continuing clients, but available to anyone.

*Note: Travel costs will be added when outside of Ray’s Oakland or Cork headquarters.

Teams

Coaching for Intact Teams

This package is designed for teams who are currently experiencing challenges as they move to their next success level. If your team has experienced past accomplishments and needs to move to greater success, cohesion, and effectiveness, RayCoach can work with you on a close-ended process to help you get from here to there in an efficient amount of time.

This offering helps a team identify its strengths and growth areas and set action plans in motion to increase productivity and positivity for every team member. Teams can participate in person or via web conference.

Groups

The Powerful Few: A Coaching Experience for Multicultural Leaders

As one of very few diverse leaders in your organization, you face unique challenges not shared by your colleagues. You have to handle micro-aggressions, manage which parts of yourself to share in which contexts, and move forward in your leadership development amidst resistance. Are the pressures of being one of the few diverse leaders getting in the way of your success? Does pushing forward to your next leadership level feel like a struggle? Are you looking for a safe, non-competitive space to grow your leadership competencies?

RayCoach is pleased to offer The Powerful Few, a 12-session coaching experience designed for multicultural leaders just like you. If you are:

A leader who is the “only one” or one of the few diverse people on your team interested in growing your leadership skills and your network
Ready to craft a breakthrough leadership development plan ready to make your greater impact

Who are my strategic partners? How will I engage them?
