"It is extremely valuable to have someone on ’my team’ with whom I can discuss issues and weigh options. I have found that I make far better decisions in a shorter period of time with this kind of support."

Is it lonely at the top?

Hyman Associates offers a new service

Many Executive Directors and Managers in public sector organizations are promoted to managerial positions without significant background or experience in managing people, working with boards or dealing with organization dynamics.

Facing the challenges can be isolating and often lead to stress and anxiety rather than job satisfaction and effectiveness.

Hyman Associates offers coaching for managers, providing them with the support they need to succeed in a leadership role. The result is increased confidence, enhanced job satisfaction and improved performance.

"Stepping into the role of an executive director has been both the opportunity and challenge of a lifetime. Regular coaching sessions with Val have been a tremendous support in making this career transition. Val’s support and knowledge have helped me to resolve difficult management issues and gain confidence in my new role."
