We call them Pros. You’ll call them your secret weapon.
Our Pros help people find the clarity and confidence needed to address whatever's holding them back from success. The result: they’re happier, more productive, and more likely to go forward.
Who they are
Our Pros are professional coaches, HR Business Partners, and corporate ombuds with years of experience across organizations and industries.
Seasoned and certified
Our Pros have an average of 16 years of experience and certifications from the International Coach Federation and more.
Carefully vetted and trained
Our Pros go through rigorous background and reference checks, and must complete numerous mock sessions before joining the team.
Continually evaluated
Our Pros are monitored for quality on an ongoing basis, and must maintain a specific experience rating to be able to hold sessions.
How they’re matched
While each and every one of our Pros is briefed on the organizations we serve, we take care to match employees with the right coach based on a number of factors.
Employee need
Our Pros specialize in areas including conflict resolution, organizational psychology, and talent development. Employees are matched to the Pro most qualified to support them with their specific issue.
Seniority
We evaluate employee seniority to make sure that senior leaders are matched with Pros that specialize in leadership development and executive coaching.
Background and experience
Some employees may prefer a coach whose identities or experience overlap with their own. We accommodate these requests as much as possible from our diverse population of Pros.
Why it works
Briefed to understand the ins and outs
Pros are briefed on all of the organizations they serve, learning about everything from programs and policies to company values and cultural nuances.
Trained to always be objective
Untainted by company politics, they’re able to give the objective and unbiased guidance that helps employees arrive at a resolution that they might not otherwise.
A completely confidential resource
Every conversation that a Pro has with an employee is completely confidential: giving employees the ability to speak openly and honestly about whatever is on their mind.
