Strategic Coaching & Advising Services for L&D Pros

Strategic coaching & advising can help you rethink how you do business in the L&D world

It’s no secret that the L&D space is constantly changing, so how can you change with it to stay in the game, stay competitive and STILL love the work you’re doing? L&D pros have one of the hardest jobs on the planet: creating the perfect environment for others to learn. But what about you? When do you get to put down the to-do list and really focus on what you’re building and why? When was the last time you came up for air to think about where you’re taking your L&D business?

A strategic coaching and advising session can help. A 60-minute session can create clarity and confidence in what’s next for your L&D business.

Who is the strategic coaching & advising for?

Strategic coaching and advising services are for you if you’re an L&D pro who feels stuck in old models and ways of doing things and know there’s more to the story than what you see in front of you. You’ve got an inkling for something else and know you can make an impact in a unique way. Your offers, clients and long-term goals don’t seem to align and you want to fix that so you can get back to doing your work in the world. But more than anything, you want the confidence that comes from having clarity about what to focus on.

Consultants and service providers

You’ve been DOING the work for your clients and now you’re ready to teach them how to do it themselves. You know you want to re-package your expertise, but you feel overwhelmed by the options in front of you. Let’s chat about how you can re-imagine your services from a done-for-you package to a done-with-you or train-the-trainer model.

Trainers and facilitators

You’ve been delivering training and facilitating workshops for others but want to figure out how you can build something new, bigger or better. You know you have a lot of expertise to share and wonder if there’s an opportunity to grow your L&D business in a different way.

Business coaches

You coach people on how to get the most out of their work and lives, but you’re ready to take your coaching to a new level. Everyone says group programs are the way to go, but maybe there’s another option that’s right for you. You don’t want to do what everyone else is doing.

How a strategic coaching and advising session works

Powered by The DLS Method™, a strategic coaching and advising session will give you the space you need to see your business from the inside out: people, processes, programs and platforms.

We’ll explore the clients you work with, who’s who and what’s what and consider how they fit into the next iteration of your business model. Maybe it stays the same. Maybe there’s an opportunity you haven’t even considered staring you in the face. Either way, you’ll be able to assess who you help and why.

When it comes to re-imaging a business, it’s important to consider what’s working and what’s not working. When was the last time you thought about how to lighten the load of client deliverables? How could you integrate your systems so they work for you without costing your more? An L&D business does a lot of heavy lifting, but you don’t have to do it all by yourself.

Consider the roster of training and development programs you offer from a different perspective: where else can they make an impact? What other ways can you leverage that expertise in new ways? What’s on the shelf that could be brought down and where do you need to add in something new to take you to the next version of your business?

You don’t need to overhaul your entire operation to see significant changes that make real-world impact on your day-to-day delivery. L&D software can be expensive, but so can operations software. Consider how to streamline your business by focusing on what you want to do now, not what you’ve always done.
