How We Work
Richard Dana Associates (RDA) begins by creating a climate of comfort
and trust that encourages our clients to think deeply and creatively
about their underlying goals. We challenge our clients to objectively
identify the obstacles they face — personal, contextual and
organizational — that may compromise their ability to succeed
and thrive. Our multi-faceted approach helps our clients envision
desirable outcomes, while identifying and leveraging their strengths
to achieve their goals.
We begin by conducting a thorough needs analysis where we examine:
| For Individuals...
| For Organizations... |
- Who you are
- How you work
- Your cognitive style
- Your emotional style
- How you learn
- Your personal/professional goals
- Your personal values
|
- Economic and market conditions
- Organizational hierarchy
- Open vs. closed systems
- Learning culture
- Mentoring and support
- Corporate history
- Corporate climate
|
This diagnostic phase provides the platform upon which we design
appropriate interventions. We integrate sound business fundamentals
with a keen understanding of personality, learning and communications
styles to help clients draw on their core values and experiences
to catalyze change in their organizations. Through this active process
our clients:
- Generate ideas
- Create a vision
- Establish an action plan
- Execute on the plan
- Achieve their goals
We work closely with our clients to achieve these goals, providing
customized confidential coaching and consulting services. We provide
perspective, analysis, and candid feedback. The timing and pace
of interventions is tailored to the needs of our individual and
organizational clients. We act as a "silent partner,"
helping our clients to develop the capabilities needed to overcome
hurdles and thrive — our success is measured by our
clients' success.
