Aram has been a tremendous support in coaching me to become more in tune with my natural style and how that can help me excel in the workplace. His coaching includes lots of humor, a recognition of the personal context beyond work, and straight talk. He brings a layer of data-driven objectivity to optimizing performance, consistently bringing out the best in his client.

Our small group programs are designed to improve the effectiveness of managers, directors and VPs by showing them how to become better leaders within and across your organization.
According to the Institute of Coaching 86% of organizations that use coaching see a significant return on their investment.
With small group programs we use the elements of one-on-one executive coaching to improve inter and intra-team dynamics so that overall performance is improved through alignment of philosophies and common goals.
This program is ideal for leadership or management teams of up to 12 participants.
Improved team performance with shared goals and performance metrics
Leaders often come to the table with individual styles and approaches that conflict rather than compliment each other. This dissonance hampers the ability of the team to work effectively toward the same goals. By showing participants how their actions are perceived and how this can be a limiting factor in their effectiveness both professionally and personally – we help teams work together more effectively.
By improving interpersonal interactions and dynamics participants can engage with each other as well as their teams on a much deeper level – driving improved results on company goals and initiatives.
Small groups – big results
Small group coaching is available to organizations of any size and funding is commonly accessed through the education or leadership and personal development budget.
Small group coaching is appropriate for any organization looking to improve leadership. However group coaching can be especially beneficial for organizations or teams in transition as well as disparate groups brought together to work on a common project.
Our small group programs are generally 6 month engagements that begin with a half day in-person workshop, followed by regular video or phone calls as determined by the client.
A Certified Virtual Presenter, Aram can deliver his programs on any platform.
Group coaching programs may include:
- Initial In-person half-day Leadership workshop for the entire team
- 60 minute one-on-one introductory call with each participant to discuss goals and concerns
- Confidential Personal styles indicator (CRG) to help the participants understand and develop personal awareness of their own behaviour and how it’s perceived by others
- Weekly calls and accountability assignments based on actual projects to implement and develop new patterns and habits based on coaching
- Confidential end-of-engagement report
