Our Services
Executive Coaching
The Maynard Consulting Group works with leaders to enable them to enhance their business performance. In increasingly complex and challenging environments, it is common for managers and leaders to experience complicating factors that influence their ability to perform to their fullest potential. Executive coaching takes a comprehensive look at the various aspects which impact organizational effectiveness, which may include: Navigating organizational relationships Managing change Developing leadership skills in a dynamic environment Developing the performance of staff and teams Managing priorities and time Solving complex business challenges

I never cease to be amazed at the power of the coaching process to draw out skills or talent that was previously hidden within an individual, and which invariably finds a way to solve a problem previously thought unsolvable.
- John Russell, Managing Director, HarleyDavidson Europe Ltd.

Effective coaching allows leaders to self-actualize and tap into internal and external resources enhancing their ability to lead. Our company provides coaching that enables clients to remove the barriers preventing them from performing to their fullest potential.
