Talent Engagement Services by Shannon O'Toole

As an entrepreneur or leader, it’s no exaggeration to say that you wear many hats. You likely started your business because you enjoyed working with your clients and now you find yourself spending more time managing your operations and people. Both your clients and your employees depend on you and are crucial to the growth and success of your business – so how do you balance it all?

In order to ensure the future growth of your firm and the ongoing satisfaction of your clients, it’s essential that you invest an ample amount of time, resources and energy into engagement of your team. Organizations with strong employee engagement have higher employee retention, increased client satisfaction and overall more success.

My mission is to further your firm’s success and growth by engaging and developing your team. I work with leadership teams to meet key people-related objectives and ensure each person under your care is able to propel your firm’s purpose.

Engagement Services Offered

ENGAGEMENT:


A business with clarity and a cohesive leadership team leads to higher levels of commitment, engagement, accountability and overall results. Ways I can help you:
  • Creating clarity and reinforcement of mission, vision and values
  • Connecting firm goals and individual goals to deepen engagement

FEEDBACK:


People can’t meet your expectations if you don’t tell them what you expect. Ensuring that leadership and individual team members are on the same page about expectations is essential to the success of your business. I can help you with:
  • Implementing Feedback & Development Programs – ensuring alignment of expectations in the areas of performance and development
  • Coaching on the Art of Giving and Receiving Feedback
