Testimonials For Upward Solutions Coaching and Consulting

Lori, Can’t say enough positive things about your work with the Engineer’s Office! Your positivity has been infectious on all of us and the content of your message and facilitation in helping people find their styles and learn and grow with that understanding has been an invaluable resource for us.

Frank Antenucci, Esq. Administrator Geauga County Engineer's Office
The workshop that you facilitated for our board helped me to get to know the people better in a very efficient manner versus trying to read them for a year or two worth of meetings. You have a natural gift for this sort of thing. I believe it will absolutely have an impact on our ability to communicate effectively and improve efficiency!

Christopher Pierce

Everything DiSC® Work of Leaders

Based on best practices, Work of Leaders connects unique leadership styles to real-world demands, generating powerful conversations that provide a clear path for action.
Everything DiSC® 363

Everything DiSC® 363 for Leaders isn’t just any 360! It combines the best of 360s with the simplicity and power of DiSC®, plus three personalized strategies for improving leadership effectiveness. The result is a 360° experience that’s more productive and satisfying.

A key differentiator for 363 is CommentSmart! It saves time, reduces stress and is an exclusive selectable comments feature that allows raters to choose from highly-tested, behavior-focused comments to give more richness, context, and depth to their feedback. This also allows for more anonymity for the raters and more focused, balanced, constructive feedback—that the leader can actually use. Contact us to learn more about what makes 363 different!
Executive Coaching

Go from where you are to where you want to be!

Do you want to take your career to the next level?
Do you want to improve your working relationships?

Say YES! to finding your personal excellence!

Understanding what makes you tick is a key component to achieving your goals, sharpening your strengths and bringing light to your blind spots so you can get to your next level of personal and professional excellence.
Coaching Skills for Managers

Managers who have a firm grasp of cutting-edge coaching strategies will have a competitive edge in the field of management. The only problem is that, to date, most managers have not been given these coaching skills.

In North America, 33% of respondents from the 2016 (ICF) Global Coaching Study said they use coaching skills in their work.

Would your managers would benefit from …
Learning creative ways to motivate your team and invigorate productivity?
Improving the effectiveness of communication within and throughout your company?
Empowering employees to increase engagement and make solid decisions?
Successfully managing their team through change and growth?

Attendees will gain tools, principles and skills to empower themselves and others to succeed in the areas of collaboration, communication and goal achievement. They will learn to create and sustain powerful alliances with their colleagues and team members to move your company to the next level.
