Coaching

Sometimes, we have goals that we want to achieve, a future that we want to create, or changes that we would like to make but we find ourselves “blocked” by challenges and unsure how to move forward.   Working with a professional Coach can help open paths around those challenges and bring your goals to life.

Working with a professional Coach can help you:

  • Create positive change;
  • Optimize your work effectiveness;
  • Expand your career opportunities;
  • Increase your self-esteem and self-confidence;
  • Maximize your potential;
  • Increase your self-awareness;
  • Improve your work/life balance.

The Virginia Department of Human Resource Management (DHRM) offers professional Coaching services for state employees and agency leadership through the Workplace Effectiveness and Conflict Management Coaching Programs.
