Who we help

Develop the leaders your business depends on

Organizations often promote strong individual contributors into management roles without giving them the tools to lead people effectively. Work & People Solutions helps organizations build stronger people leaders at every stage.

  • New and emerging supervisors

    Prepare strong individual contributors for a first people-leadership role.

  • Front-line managers

    Strengthen day-to-day communication, feedback, and team leadership.

  • Mid-level managers

    Build the judgment to lead other managers and broader responsibilities.

  • Account and relationship managers

    Improve client communication, trust, and relationship-management skills.

  • High-potential employees

    Develop emerging leaders before they step into a larger role.

  • Senior managers and executives

    Executive coaching focused on judgment, influence, and leadership effectiveness.

  • Teams navigating leadership or communication challenges

    Targeted development when a team needs clearer leadership or communication.

For HR and Leadership Development Teams

360° Multi-Rater Survey Assessments

Turn feedback into a development strategy.

Our 360° multi-rater assessments help HR and leadership development teams identify strengths, blind spots, and development priorities for supervisors, managers, and emerging leaders.

Our specifically tailored assessment surveys support insights and enhanced self-awareness around five areas of professional competency development.

Reports we provide about 360° assessment survey results include comparisons to benchmarks we have established from a large proprietary survey dataset.

One-on-one

Leadership & executive coaching

Personalized coaching for managers and executives who want to strengthen leadership capability, emotional intelligence, and professional effectiveness. The approach, pace, and delivery are shaped around your goals — and the first conversation is simply about whether coaching is the right fit.

Organizations also use leadership coaching with 360° feedback as a valuable, integrated strategy documented within individual employee development plans for new supervisors, account managers and those on a career track to greater future leadership responsibilities.

Initial consultations and subsequent coaching sessions are provided online via Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, or another platform you prefer. In-person sessions are also available for those with geographic proximity to our offices in Westchester County, New York and Northern Virginia.
