Teresa believes that coaching is most effective when leaders are focused on growth, willing to be vulnerable, and committed to doing the hard work necessary to achieve new outcomes and increase professional impact.  She begins each engagement by exploring her client’s career aspirations, current role dynamics, and development priorities – informed by 360 Feedback and other assessments (HBDI, DiSC, etc.)  She uses these tools to help her clients envision their desired outcomes, strengthen self-awareness, and close behavioral gaps by holding them accountable to measurable goals. 

Teresa works with C-suite leaders, boards of directors, and other senior leaders facing a wide variety of challenges. She is especially adept at supporting leaders who are taking on new teams, facing the challenges of directing organizational improvement, or leading organizational culture change.

Elna partners with clients to align their leadership strategy with their business objectives, and creates solutions that attract, motivate and retain key leadership talent. Dr. Hall has consulted across four continents on leadership issues.

Whether supporting a Fortune 50 corporation or a community nonprofit agency, Elna brings a results orientation to the leadership coaching experience. She knows that when leaders are focused on the right objectives and armed with the right skills, they can engage a workforce to produce extraordinary outcomes. Elna also believes that regardless of the size of an organization or the challenges it is experiencing, the core principles of results-driven leadership remain the same. It is her objective as a leadership coach to help leaders prioritize their focus on those core areas, and to understand the impact that their leadership behaviors have on their organization’s overall business performance.

Elna has particular expertise in acting as a trusted advisor to managers during periods of extraordinary organizational change. She has coached clients during mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, layoffs and division launches. Through these varied experiences, Dr. Hall has seen first-hand that skilled leadership can be the critical factor that determines an organization’s success in a turbulent business environment. Her goal is to give clients the just-in-time information and feedback to equip them to face their unique challenges confidently and effectively.

Dr. Hall is the author of numerous articles and book chapters on leadership, globalization and organizational learning, and has served as an adjunct faculty member at DePaul University in Chicago. She is not only familiar with the theory behind best leadership practices, but knows from experience about the practical concerns of implementing them in organizations. She strongly believes that even the best-conceived leadership program is ineffective if it doesn’t fit with an organization’s unique culture and work practices. It is a consistent focus of Elna’s professional work to provide clients with an ideal balance of the science and real-life practice of leadership.

She has led efforts in human capital strategy assessment and design, succession management, “best employer” program design and benchmarking of talent management programs. Elna worked for several years as a Senior Talent and Organization Consultant with Hewitt Associates, and was a research contributor to its Insights and Innovation practice group. She spent extensive time in management of leadership and organization development functions in Motorola’s Land Mobile Products and Cellular Infrastructure divisions.

Greg specializes in supporting and enhancing organizational results via individual performance and combines a strategically focused consulting approach with an eye for detail. He approaches his coaching assignments with a “3i” framework, focusing on insights, innovations, and impact. Put simply, he helps leaders derive insights into their own strengths and development opportunities using various assessment methods such as 360 Feedback surveys and structured interviews.
