Management Programs


Management Coaching Programs

Below is a listing of the programs available to help you become the most dynamic manager you can be.  The programs are all based on three core principles:  Setting Expectations; Aligning Tasks with Skills; and Auditing to Provide Feedback.

Insurance Agency Management Jump Start Program

Have you obtained the coveted position of “Agency Manager”, but have no time to do the job? Feel like a fish out of water? Can’t seem to get anything done yourself – not to mention the staff. Many Agency Managers have been given the job because they have been with the agency the longest or they drew the shortest straw. Many are not given the time to do the job nor the training. In this program you are provided the tools to become an effective manager while still doing all of the other tasks you have to do.

     How does it work?

  • The program consists of one-on-one online coaching sessions as well as remote training sessions.
  • We survey what you have that is already working and what doesn’t work.
  • We then make a plan for success using templates, organization techniques, and the power of your people. We get right to work improving the agency.

     The plan

We break it down into three sections:

  1. Setting Expectations (if you don’t give clear expectations, that’s what you get in return)
  2. Aligning Tasks with Skills (just because it is in the job description, is he really the right person to do that task)
  3. Giving Feedback (if you want them to continue doing the right thing, let them know they are doing the right thing)

Meetings That Work

Do you dread holding or attending meetings? Most people do because they are time-consuming and unproductive. You can change that! We have a plan to make the most of meetings as well as determining if a meeting is even needed. With all of the different ways to communicate, face-to-face may not be the right alternative.

This program consists of templates for Meeting Agendas, Action Plans, and follow-up along with one-on-one coaching sessions to make sure you get the most out of every meeting. These sessions will include tips and tricks for planning meetings, scheduling meetings, and staying on task and on time during the  meetings as well as making sure the things committed to during the meeting actually get done.
