Talent Development is No Longer an Option

Targeted Coaching Efforts Leading to Organizational Results.

In order to build the organization you want with a compelling hold on the future — whether it's in the public or private sector — you have to attract talent and build the management team you need. It also requires an investment in the growth of your talent through coaching and training. This is why a commitment to coaching and development is key for every leader, or potential leader, in your organization.

Individuals make your organization prosper. Only by investing in strategically developing the talent you require now and in the future will your organization become successful and a top-player. This development is best attained through targeted coaching efforts at all levels within the organization.

Change in any organization is inevitable.

Are the leaders within your organization ready for change? Are they learning and adapting quickly? The leaders of tomorrow want to learn, to develop and to grow. Employees, managers and executives need their organization to foster this growth. Every organization, if it wants to succeed, needs to build versatile leaders — ones with transferable competencies, strong interpersonal skills and a drive to meet and surpass organizational goals.

G.A.P.S. Analysis

Do you have a game plan in order to get your organization to where it wants to be? Do you have a grasp on the outcomes you seek and what core competencies your leaders need to best achieve these outcomes? Do they currently demonstrate these competencies to a sufficient degree to achieve the expected results?

At Y2CP we can help your organization create a development plan for each one of your leaders by focussing on where each employee/leader is now and where they need to be to best meet organizational goals. In such a process, often referred to as a GAPS analysis, a systematic assessment of individual and organizational strengths, liabilities and goals is conducted in order to identify the gaps and generate a targeted skill development plan that will help to achieve organizational goals.

For example:

• Do you leaders need to do things differently? If so, how?
• What are the organization's expectations? What are yours?
• What are the competencies/skills that you need in your organization?
• What can you do to make your action plan work?
• How can you best develop the talent that you currently have?
• How do you know if you are meeting organizational expectations?

If you want your organization to grow and to prosper, you need to plan for it and invest in a targeted development of your talent.

A professional and targeted coaching process, like the one offered by Y2CP, will help your employees, managers and executives leverage the competencies/skills, knowledge and experience they need to achieve organizational success. Coached personnel tends to be more engaged and committed to their organization. And coaching definitely fosters both personal and organizational growth.

S.M.A.R.T. Objectives

Once the GAPS analysis completed, in order to achieve the best results, we believe that both individual and organizational action plans must incorporate S.M.A.R.T. objectives – ones that we develop with you. These objectives have been shown to be most effective and, in general, they have the following five characteristics:

Specific:	Focus on precise details/actions (e.g. shorten number of hours worked per day/week).
Measurable:	Aim for concrete results (e.g. work a maximum of 8 hours per day).
Achievable:	Set goals that you can reach (e.g. reduce the number of hours of work gradually).
Realistic:	Establish sensible and practical goals (e.g. shorten work week by 20 hours per week).
Time-sensitive:	Identify and follow timelines/milestones (e.g. reachable by June 1, 2014).

Coaching Done Right

We believe that coaching done right can have positive impacts on your organization and on the talent you have, or are trying to build.

Y2CP is the place to start as you establish and take action towards achieving organizational goals and as your talent gains more job and life satisfaction through the coaching we offer. In the long term, the leaders you are developing will contribute more effectively to your organization, improving the quality of your outputs and your productivity, and take greater responsibility and accountability for their actions and commitments today and tomorrow.

Y2CP has developed several discounted coaching packages that allow us to reliably assess the core strengths, areas of development and organizational culture fit/gap of each employee, manager and executive we coach. A targeted and actionable development plan that best meet organizational goals is then worked on through the coaching process. We can help your organization to best identify the core competencies you want your employees to further develop to best support organizational objectives.
