ASSESSMENTS
Formal 360 Degree Feedback
Nyman is certified by the Center for Creative Leadership and uses Benchmarks®, a comprehensive, 360-degree
assessment tool for experienced managers that measures 16 skills and perspectives critical for success.
Benchmarks® offers an in-depth look at development by assessing skills developed from a multitude of
leadership experiences, identifying what lessons may yet to be learned and helping the executive determine
what specific work experiences need to be sought out in order to develop critical skills for success. Through
the Benchmarks® process, participants:
- Learn how others perceive their strengths and development needs
- Learn how they compare with similar leaders in other organizations
- Focus on skills and perspectives critical to being effective and successful
- Design a plan that links needs to specific developmental experiences
Informal Feedback
Nyman also provides informal 360-degree feedback by interviewing peers, bosses, direct reports, clients
and other key stakeholders.
Executive Coaching (One-On-One)
Nyman's renowned one-on-one coaching is a highly confidential, customized and effective process leading
to observable changes in behavior. Our goal is to accelerate leadership development, fine-tune
leadership style, identify and eliminate blind spots, and strengthen the critical skills and perspectives
necessary for success.
LEADERSHIP SKILLS & PERSPECTIVES
Executive Presence
Are you confident you can navigate social and business settings with presence and savvy? Many of us are
not as knowledgeable as we'd like to be about proper conduct in formal and informal situations. This is
important because we are continuously presenting ourselves or our company to others. Demonstrating proper
manners and behavior is not as inherent as some may think. A persuasive, professional presence helps showcase
competence and confidence, gain needed cooperation, and motivate others to buy in to ideas and recommendations.
Executive Presentation Skills
Executive Presentation Skills incorporates the delicate balance of style and substance when representing the
organization at conferences, industry seminars, "high touch" events, community service activities, panel
discussions, etc. You'll receive candid and constructive feedback on how you organize and deliver your messages
for different audiences. Emphasis is placed on strategic messaging and the more subtle success factors that impact
high profile audiences.
Negotiation Skills
Whether we realize it or not, each of us negotiates every day. In the office, the boardroom, on the car phone,
or at the family dinner table, negotiating is an integral part of our interaction with others. Still, many of
us are uncomfortable with the idea of negotiating. This hands-on seminar will give you the insights, communications
styles and techniques to positively influence an outcome while reducing the emotional stress that comes with conflict.
Learn to negotiate for a lasting resolution that satisfies all parties.
Conflict Resolution
Conflict is natural by-product where fast growth, multiple project priorities, and competition for resources create
special challenges that can prevent employees from working effectively. The consequences of unmanaged conflict are
high: strained relationships, poor morale, tension and anxiety, loss of productivity that hurts the bottom line.
Successful organizations channel this dynamic tension into collaborative problem solving. This program focuses on
ways to communicate through conflict and resolve disagreements — in other words, to manage it.
Persuasion & Influence
Research proves that successful leaders recognize the demands of different situations and adapt their communication styles and strategies to effectively persuade and influence others with minimal conflict. This workshop will allow you to identify your communication style, the conditions and communication styles others may require for maximum productivity, and to create adaptation strategies for persuasive communication.
Coaching for Improved Performance
Coaching and counseling skills are vital leadership tools that prove especially important in performance feedback
situations. An effectively conducted coaching/counseling or performance appraisal meeting can help improve the
manager/supervisor/employee relationship that, in turn, can boost morale, build trust, and enhance overall performance.
This workshop provides insights into coaching and counseling that you can put to use the very next day to discuss,
redirect, motivate and engage your team with positive results.
Client Relationship Management
Today’s complex and changing business environment demands that leaders build client relationships that deliver creativity and value. This workshop builds the critical consultative skills leaders need to gain and keep a competitive edge in the marketplace.
Critical Thinking & Decision Making
The Nyman Group has developed a decision-making model (compete, collaboration, consult, consensus, and delegation)
that will help you make better, everyday decisions. Everyday leaders are challenged to make good decisions – usually with
limited information under serious time constraints. They need to balance quantitative and qualitative data and then
depend on sound judgment to make the right choice.
Building & Leading Teams - Real Case Studies & Simulations
Successful teams combine personal effort with quality group processes. Differing skill and experience levels challenge
a team's effectiveness. This program is dedicated to helping you understand how to work within the complex team
environment, from both a team participant's and leader's perspective.
LEADERSHIP RETREATS
Get more out of getting away. Leaders have less time for face-to-face than ever, yet have a greater need to collaborate;
to reflect, to experience cross-industry best practices. Nyman offers intensive, interactive and high-caliber retreat
curricula to engage, refresh and reframe leadership challenges for your team. Retreat programs allow the unique
teaming of top-level Nyman principals to facilitate or instruct your organization's leaders in concentrated, customized and rich one-
or two-day programs…real work in real time.
Leadership retreats include, but are not limited to, the following themes:
- Strategic Planning
- Succession Planning
- Leading Change/Change Management
- Knowledge Management (Internal Expert Roundtables)
