Our Tenets
-
ENVISION
Our support starts with clarifying where you want to be. Some clients have clear outcomes and goals while others use initial sessions to craft a vision for their future. Together, we help you regain a sense of personal agency for the course of your career, the transition you are experiencing, or the direction of your life.
-
ACTION
Once we are clear on your desired outcomes, we make the most of our engagement with a balance of process, planning, and practice. We use a range of strategies to help you recognize limiting beliefs, misaligned habits, and underutilized talents and skills to support the changes you want to see. We balance listening, inquiry, planning, and practice during coaching to ensure you have confidence moving to Action.
-
REFLECTION
Acknowledging and tracking how both a) the way you work and b) the quality and kinds of interactions that you have with others can affect your outcomes is a key part of our process.
We provide different tools and approaches to reflect on the extent to which you are able to implement the changes you desire. We offer reflection guidance as well as a variety of 360 assessments, leadership profiles, and frameworks. These tools help to give you a panoramic view of how your values, mindsets, and behaviors align with the experiences others have with you in direct relation to your ability to bring your vision to fruition.
At n.o.v.a. services, we’re about not only vision, but action.
At N.O.V.A. Services, the “A” always stands for Action.
Let us help you move the needle and get unstuck with one-on-one or group support.
