At
Ralston Consulting you'll find a capable,
flexible team that is ready to
respond to your most unique and immediate
needs. When time is of the
essence, Ralston can help. Following is a
list of just a few of the minimal
time services we can deliver.
Meeting
Observation and Feedback
Every group creates its own patterns of interaction.
Some helpful, and some get in the way. Observing
your team meetings through a lens of effective
group dynamics provides invaluable insight
and quickly raises the quality of results.
Issue
Specific Leader Coaching
Few leaders receive the training or have the
experience to respond to all situations faced,
especially the people and team issues. Just
having a sounding board to explore your ideas
is helpful to nailing down a desired course
of action. Our coaching relationships assist
leaders on both counts.
Team
Assessment and Feedback
High performing teams develop a norm of giving
on-going feedback regarding both business issues
and their own interactions. By conducting a
team assessment, we can move any group, from
boards to ad hoc teams to this powerful norm.
Issue
Specific Meeting Facilitation
Have an issue and want results quickly without
worrying about all the group dynamics? Do you
just want to participate and not be concerned
with leading the meeting? We can guide a team
through engaging discussions and effective decisions,
allowing all to stay fully engaged in the complex
at hand.
Purposeful
Meeting Design
You can dramatically increase the likelihood
of successful meeting outcomes with careful
planning. Let us work behind the scenes and
use our experience and skills to help you create
the best methods to fulfill the meeting's purpose
and objectives.
Leadership
Assessment
Find out what impact specific leadership practices
actually have on others. Our leadership practices
assessment can quickly point out patterns which
may hinder a leader's effectiveness. Exploring
alternative behaviors with a Ralston Executive
Coach can make this process even more powerful.
Two-Party
Conflict Resolution Facilitation
Conflict often promotes creativity. But when
it negatively affects people's ability to work
together, both the task at hand and other team
members usually suffer. We can help to solve
conflicts, strengthen work relationships, sort
out differences and find common-ground solutions.
