Who We Are and What We Believe

The coaches at The Holbrow Group frame their support for you around the core values of respect, honesty, integrity and excellence, and we work as a co-active partner in your drive to succeed. We believe that people need to have fun in order to thrive, and that a successful life inevitably involves pushing the boundaries of what’s previously been possible. Growth always happens outside our comfort zone.

We also believe that there is room for finding ways for our spirits to soar within the boundaries of virtual and globally impactful business entities.

This isn’t always easy.

Despite their success, top executives may be struggling with language, or communication skills in general, or they may have other reasons for feeling less confident than they’d like to be.

Your company might be experiencing the massive turmoil that comes with an acquisition, an industry downturn or restructuring

Maybe organizational values need to be recalibrated, or open and frank communication has seriously slipped within your organization.

Perhaps a family or personal situation has been requiring a lot of your bandwidth, and the hours you’re at work aren’t always as focused as you wish they could be.

Companies and organizations face a host of operational and strategic challenges, many of which are associated with developing and growing leaders, as well as building and sustaining high-performance teams. Colin and the other members of our team are highly accomplished and completely focused on delivering the results you need in order to move forward into the cascades of success you desire and deserve. We believe that when we each evolve ourselves, we inevitably benefit the people around us. Each Holbrow Group associate is an expert in one or more areas of coaching, group facilitation, training, and maintaining healthy bodies and minds.

Executive Coaching: Working with larger organizations often means we need to activate the services of more than one coach. We draw from a core group of highly respected, well-trained and experienced professional coaches. Our coaches are highly proficient practitioners. All coaches working under The Holbrow Group umbrella are similarly qualified and experienced in their unique areas of specialization.

We assign coaches tailored to your organization’s particular need for specific genders, background and “fit.” Contact us to learn more about our pool of outstanding talented coaches.

Team Coaching: Team Coaching typically requires two co-leaders to observe and work closely with the group in an organizational system. The Holbrow Group coaches are highly trained and well versed in Organization and Relationship Systems Coaching (ORSC). We match them carefully to your organization’s specific needs.

Retirement Readiness Coaching: Retirement readiness coaching brings substance and meaning to the as-yet uncharted waters of your upcoming retirement years. We’ll help you identify the skills and strengths that have helped you build a successful career, and show you how to harness them to retirement activities that give you purpose and a sense of contribution.
