Our Services
Bonnell Executive Consulting offers a range of people development services, all custom-tailored to meet your specific needs, your time frames, and your budget. Examples of frequently requested services follow:
Executive Coaching and Development of High Potentials
We often coach individuals – executives, managers, entrepreneurs, and people with high potential and desire to succeed. Without exception, they are bright, motivated, energetic, and love to learn. They all want to know themselves better, advance their careers, and work more effectively with others. Sometimes they are new in a position and want to make sure they do well. Other individuals have reached high pinnacles of success and want to explore what’s next. Something else that all of these people have in common is that they hire a qualified coach, or their companies do, because it’s the most effective and efficient way to accelerate their growth and manage change well. It’s an investment that pays off.
The most effective coaching approaches will be the ones gleaned from Best Practices, customized for the individual’s goals, after an in-depth assessment of his or her personality, values, interests, and strengths and weaknesses.
Coaching is really about unleashing the exhilaration that comes with knowing who you are and utilizing your values, talents, and passions to such a great extent in your career (and your life) that you are fulfilled, and you and others see you as extraordinarily successful in your various endeavors.
Derailment Issues, Conflict Resolution, and Burnout
In today’s fast-paced, ultra-competitive business climate, conflict is inevitable. So, it would seem, is burnout or exhaustion for many excellent executives and managers. High stress and interpersonal antagonisms or misunderstandings drain energy, lower morale and motivation, and cause diminished productivity.
We work closely with the identified individuals or teams to analyze what’s happening and then devise strategies and solutions to resolve gridlock, improve problem solving, and eliminate inappropriate, ineffective styles of communicating. We’ll also teach and coach skills that make conflict useful and even desirable. We’ll help devise strategies for stress reduction, better work/life balance, and burnout prevention. We help get high contributors quickly back in the game!
Building High-Performance Organizations and Planning for Succession
To survive and thrive, all enterprises have to create bold visions and goals and then create a blueprint for a bullet-proof buy-in by stakeholders (executive team, other employees, even shareholders). Next, leaders have to implement change initiatives that really work. Not a small order; in fact, few companies are really successful in this critical process.
We help by auditing what’s happening now, building an air-tight case for change, generating maximum motivation and energy in the leaders, and assisting in devising audacious visions and goals. Then we help the business get strong commitments through the ranks, launch change initiatives that really work, and create methods for continually monitoring the change process.
An example of a specific concern is planning for future leadership. After a business truly knows where it is going, we can coach current leaders on choosing the best candidates for future top jobs. We help identify critical success factors, assess the candidates, and then help implement performance advance plans that teach skills and readiness consistent with company needs.
Family-owned businesses have an especially poor track record of even making it to the third generation. The issues these businesses face are complex, thanks to the personal as well as professional relationships involved. Few have powerful strategic plans for continuity. We have consulting solutions, backed by great research, that help family businesses increase their odds of being around for a long, long time.
Hiring the Best People
Poor hiring decisions cost companies millions of dollars in lost productivity and turnover, and necessitate repeating expensive processes again and again! We often help by doing structured job analyses, assessing candidates thoroughly, analyzing the data, and providing in-depth recommendations. No more hiring by chemistry or intuition.
