What We Believe
Our belief is that most operating executives have had little or no formal training in Management Methods and Practices, nor exposure to Leadership Philosophy and Principles. Consequently, individual executives often lack an understanding as to what exactly great Management and Leadership behaviors look like, causing them to struggle in performance management cultures, impairing their effectiveness and impeding their career growth. Via a Coaching and Mentoring relationship with AGP, we aim to rectify that, both for individual executives, and with leadership teams.

What Our Clients Have to Say
“Over the past four years, Dave’s coaching and mentoring have seen me through two promotions and two significant role changes. I deeply value my relationship with Dave, who has taught me to “see myself in the room,” to honestly self-appraise and work through my limitations, keep my cool, and be a materially better colleague, manager, and leader.”
“Jessica’s sessions are grounded in structure and accountability, ensuring that I have left each one armed with a set of tools, learnings and actions. I have been able to repeatedly apply what we’ve discussed together in practice, back in my working environment, and then reflect back on progress in our next meet.”
“Dave’s coaching and mentoring were instrumental in helping me “re-conceive myself” in terms of my career ambitions and the behaviors and attitudes I needed to focus on in order to be seen as an executive promotable to the highest levels of a company.
