/ Strengthening Leaders

Successful leaders possess the skills to effectively navigate rapid and continuous change; build stronger more collaborative relationships; and enhance their ability to identify goals and achieve desired outcomes.

/ Transforming Teams

Successful leaders focus on building cohesive, highly effective, and mutually supportive teams through establishing trust, open dialogue, encouraging collaboration, and engaging in constructive conflict. 

/ Advancing Inclusive Communities

Successful leaders foster a culture that celebrates differences and supports diversity; recognize the full breadth of differences among all with whom they interact; and hold themselves and other team members accountable for promoting diverse and inclusive practices.

Our process:

At Baer & Associates, we believe that for any coaching or consulting to be truly effective, it must be tailored to fit your organization’s unique and specific needs. As part of our process, we will:

  •    Tailor sessions to address your needs

  •    Facilitate interactive workshops to engage participants

  •    Recommend follow-up actions to maintain the momentum

  • Provide on-going coaching and consulting to sustain the change
