Most
technology-based companies have placed a lot of emphasis on technical knowledge
and not enough on cultivating extraordinary managers and inspiring leaders,
especially in the product development arena.
People skills: The hidden key to
return on Investment
“…In many
intensely knowledge-based industries…technical talent gets placed in positions
of leadership without a strategic view of how to develop either their own
leadership skills or those of people they are managing…the basic skills that are
necessary to
organizational success—such as team-building, teamwork, supervisory and
managerial skills, and communication techniques—are not always the strong suit
of the technical genius at the heart of the technology based firm.”

“I
found Helen to be intuitive, intelligent and supportive. She is a person who
understands that change is challenging and takes time, guidance and support.
I wholeheartedly recommend Helen as a coach and consider
myself fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with her.”

Ellen Weiser, Marketing executive |
“My
technical background did not prepare me for the challenges I faced as a
first time manager. Having Helen as my coach helped me put my anxieties at
rest and develop my leadership and communication slills. With her guidance,
I became a confident manager and built an effective team in a short period
of time.”
