Executive Coaching for Individuals and Teams
The core of our business, Better Tools executive coaching works with passionate, skilled, and experienced leaders as their coach and advisor. Our coaches work with clients to identify key desired outcomes, assess strengths and weaknesses, prepare for risks, and take advantage of opportunities.
From there, the coach works with the client to prioritize goals and then craft a strategy focused on personal ownership, specific behavioral change, and skill building.
The coach provides guidance, accountability, honest feedback, and a wealth of diverse tools and knowledge to help the client execute their plan successfully.
Executive coaching is only appropriate for professional leaders with real problems, lofty goals, and the willingness to do what it takes to achieve success.
Communications Improvement
Our team has a background in managing communications improvement programs for corporate clients when they want to facilitate culture change, launch a new initiative, or improve the communications capability of an individual or team.
We take clients through a rigorous process that identifies key stakeholders and the desired outcome and help plan the campaign of activity needed to make a lasting difference.
This service focuses on internal communications management and is appropriate for companies experiencing a lack of alignment across the organization.
Leadership Assessment and Development
Our staff works with individuals or teams to assess current capabilities, understand the needs of the unique situation, then create and engage with a plan that focuses on maximizing strengths.
Leadership is a nuanced skill with no single path to success and our leadership improvement programs are crafted with the client to provide an ideal outcome.
Our leadership development program is best for successful leaders who are moving into senior roles, high potential junior leaders taking on more significant leadership challenges, and CEOs and Executives who want to hone their skill.
Better Tools does not provide a remedial leadership coaching program.

Growth Planning
Our coaching team has forty years of experience working in dynamic and high-growth environments. They've seen what success and failure looks like and can help you avoid mistakes and take advantage of opportunities.
Being part of a small company of less than 100 people that's transitioning into the 101-1,000 employee space means a very different set of skills, people, and tools are about to become absolutely critical.
Put simply, success with a 50-person company doesn't prepare you to be successful at a 500-person company.
If you or your senior leadership team is struggling with the repercussions of high growth, let Better Tools help smooth the way!
