Coaching

For Nisus clients, coaching as a means of heightening or stimulating career effectiveness and competitiveness has always been an integral part of our practice. In both Advisory and Transactional engagements, we work closely with our client to ensure they benefit from our full range of capabilities, of which coaching is one element. A combination of several aspects of our work, our coaching is most beneficial to those clients facing a decision node in their career. By this, we mean those facing a paradigm shift such as when professionals advance along a path from Associate to Partner, or Vice President to Managing Director, or Partner to Managing Partner. But just as often, coaching is used when more dramatic career transitions occur, such as when an individual moves from a legal position to a business capacity, or when, for the first time in a professional's career, they find themselves without a position as the result of outplacement in connection with a merger, dissolution, downsizing, buyout or retirement. In these cases, we develop activities and exercises intended to help alter our clients profile and practice perspective, and make their adjustment as smooth as possible, with minimal disruption to other aspects of their professional and personal affairs. Our coaching may involve any one or a combination of services including our evaluation of their qualifications and potential for continued achievement, defining short- and long-term objectives, assessing their competitiveness and likelihood of success, and where appropriate and desirable, working to prepare them to conduct themselves effectively with their current (former) or prospective partners, clients, and adversaries.
