Develop the Skills to Lead Healthy, Effective, & Successful Teams

Cathy guides you to a better version of yourself. Her coaching helps you identify the qualities you need to be a GREAT Project Manager. First and foremost you must:

Know Thyself

It all starts with you. How much do you know about yourself in the context of project leadership? What do you consider to be the traits of successful, productive leaders? The reality may not be what you think.

Not only will Cathy help you gain crucial self-awareness, she will take it much further by helping you develop the attributes that will bring you from good to great, such as:

Open-Mindedness

Part of being an open-minded project manager means knowing that you — and your team members — will bring to the project unique and changeable beliefs, concerns, and needs that will have a tremendous impact on daily work. So, not only are you managing the pace of a project, but great leaders are also aware of, and take into consideration, the mindset of their team members.

A Sense of Humor

Cultivating team harmony through humor, applied appropriately, is one of the best ways to alleviate frustration, defuse the blame game, stave off power plays, and keep everyone grounded, and you sane. Cultivating a balance of humor and honesty can create a sense of stability for the team and a reputation for you for helping teams and projects weather the tough spots and achieve success.

Independent & Focused Thinking

Issues of transparency, compliance, financial risk, schedules, available resources, and team dynamics, among other concerns, can overwhelm a project leader with stress and pressure. Independent thinkers are able to pause long enough to push aside the many distracting “business” aspects of a project to maintain end-result priorities, such as keeping a team inspired and focused on important stakeholders who include patients, families, staff, administration, and security and facilities personnel.

Confidence & a Healthy Self-Esteem

Building a team’s confidence starts with you yourself being grounded, present, self-aware, and feeling capable of handling any situation that comes your way.

Prioritizing Self-Care

This means looking after your physical health (seeing the doctor, eating well, exercising) and your emotional health (making time for family and friends, engaging in fun activities, carving out solo time to meditate, read, nap, take a mind-clearing walk, or unplug completely.)

Healthy Project Coaching Can Make the Difference

Health Well Done coaching is tailored to the needs of each client. Cathy’s promise is that individuals will …

Walk away with a clear understanding of their strengths.
Bypass their own personal barriers and limits in order for them to achieve their personal best.
Function more effectively as both a leader and a member of their team.

The whole purpose of my wanting to hire a coach was so I could step out my own way and get out of my box. I needed an accountability partner that would help take me to the next level. My immediate experience with Cathy Dolan Schweitzer felt comfortable. She saw potential that I didn’t see in myself. I did not enter into coaching wanting to promote my “Keep Living” journal or to use speaking engagements as part of my business. My original intention was to talk about building a project management company. After a few sessions, we expanded that vision with a tie to my “Keep Living” journal. I never thought I would be able to tie it into the project management company and speaking engagements, but my coaching sessions with Cathy helped me see my worth at a level outside my comfort zone — a level I did not even know I had.

As someone not prone to open up and talk too much, my experience with Cathy Dolan Schweitzer was comfortable — she is extremely easy to talk to. Her use of humor and how she would always say “be your own spectator” helped me step out of myself and become a spectator of my world; I looked at my office, habits, and how I do things … and it shocked me. At 55 years old, I’ve always thought of myself as average at my job and never good at selling or promoting myself, but she made me see that I AM good at what I do, where changes needed to occur, and that I can continue to improve because I possess sought-after attributes. Cathy helped me see what I needed to be top priority as a project manager and we laid out the steps on how to improve … and I am learning to be patient with myself because change does not happen overnight.

The Coaching Process

The coaching process will overall look something like this …

First discussion between the coach and coachee to identify the client’s needs and align them with personal and professional goals.

The coach explores the coachee’s capabilities, identifying the present state and situation, and the desired end goal.
The coach and the coachee develop the coaching plan and identify the key performance indicators.
The coaching plan is approved and coaching sessions proceed according to the plan.

An initial work session within the first month of engagement.

The first session is 90 minutes and it can be split into two sessions if needed.

One 30-minute virtual call weekly or bi-weekly based on contract which will follow the same format each week.

The calls cover what we are we working on as well as a review of “homework” and planned next steps.
