Targeted support for improving personal mastery and effectiveness

An entrepreneurial management team that just can't
collaborate effectively or is having trouble melding diverse interests
post-merger or post-acquisition
The corporation that wants to "assimilate" a new hire rapidly and smoothly...
The lawyer or consultant working to build new client relationships…
Anyone uncomfortable relating to other people or uncertain about how they "come
across" to others
Organizations that want short, tight training seminars and programs that provide "a
hard approach to soft skills"...

"Soft skills" matter. Communication, Collaboration and Cohesiveness are
crucial ingredients in business and professional success, but good
intentions do not automatically equate to strong rapport, good "chemistry" and
sustained trust.
The Richardson Group has worked with scores of individuals and organizations
to improve leaders' ability to interact appropriately with diverse people in
diverse situations…to build committed management teams…to present
themselves both powerfully and attractively to all their constituents. Depending
on the situation, we have served as a visible focus-group leader and facilitator
providing structured assistance or as a confidential advisor to top management
in handling day-to-day issues, problem people and problematic situations.
Our menu of interpersonal and team communication services includes:
- Auditing and evaluating team functioning,
morale and cohesiveness.
- Individual assessment and counseling to address
a variety of "soft skills" issues: self-awareness, leadership and
management style, dealing with diversity and all "emotional intelligence" competencies.
- Designing and developing mentoring and peer-support
programs that really work.
- Instruction on self-presentation, self-marketing
and client development, including videotaping and presentation rehearsal.
- "Get a GRIP™" mini-seminars on project
management, collaboration, confrontation and self-marketing/client
development based on our proprietary GRIP model: Goal
clarity…Role clarity…Interactions…Processes
and Procedures.
- Speechwriting and coaching presenters and
speech-makers.
We are available to deliver a variety of proven,
well-received presentations or to design powerful presentations on
topics of your choosing. We also can work with you to draft a compelling
speech, fine-tune your delivery, anticipate audience questions and
deal effectively with all kinds of audience reactions.
