A watershed is where the flow of events is altered. It is the place in the story where things change and cannot go back, only forward. We work with leaders to assist them, their teams, and their organizations to navigate these sometimes turbulent waters.
​
Together, we can create new opportunities, breakthrough results and optimal outcomes.
Executive Coaching
Coaching is a partnership between the coach and the client in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires the client to maximize their personal and professional potential. This process is designed to facilitate creation of personal, professional or business goals, and to develop and carry out plans for achieving those goals.
Coaching unlocks new knowledge, new understanding, and new possibilities. It is an effective means to prepare for a watershed moment. Our coaching clients include:
​
-
New and emerging leaders
-
Established leaders in new roles or seeking to increase their effectiveness
-
New chief executives or senior executives
-
Leaders facing substantial organizational change

“I surpassed the expectations I had for myself. I was seeking to improve my executive presence, but ultimately I improved my confidence, leadership skills, and realized I have the executive presence I was after; I just didn’t believe it yet.”

Team Development
In its simplest form a team is a group of individuals working together toward a common goal. High-functioning teams are able to leverage the talents of their members to achieve results well beyond any individual capacity for achievement.
​
Teams are also complex entities that require sound leadership, shared accountability, and a clear sense of purpose. It is common to find them off course, weary and adrift from reaching organizational goals. We can help.
​
Watershed believes in an integrated approach to team development designed to accelerate growth and performance. This integrated approach will include a blend of team development practices such as consultation, facilitation, training, team building and team coaching.
​
Our process begins with an assessment phase, using specific tools to assess a team and its members. Once complete, we work with the team to establish developmental goals and a specific process to achieve them. In this manner, we collaborate to increase awareness and skill, improve performance, and make sustainable improvements in team processes and function.
