Help Your Team Drive Measurable Business Results Through Stronger Connections

85% of job success comes from well‐developed people skills, or soft skills. Yet most companies spend 75% or more of their training budgets on technical or hard skills.

What will a relationship-building focus do for your business?

Challenge

In today's fast-paced business environment, strong relationships are essential for success. However, even employees struggle to build and maintain trust-based connections with colleagues, clients, and stakeholders. This can lead to silos, communication breakdowns, and missed opportunities.

Solution

The Galvanizing Group's Connecting Cohort Coaching Program is designed to equip your senior and mid-level leaders with the skills and strategies they need to become effective connectors.

We create a safe place for the participants to interact and develop strong foundations of trust over the 10-week program

Relationship-building is a mindset and a skill set. We teach both.

Through a combination of expert coaching, interactive workshops, and peer-to-peer learning, participants will gain:

  • Enhanced Communication Skills: Learn to actively listen, understand different communication styles, and deliver messages with clarity and impact.

  • Strategic Relationship Building: Discover proven techniques for building trust, rapport, and influence with key stakeholders and develop a customized Relationship-Building Action Plan.

  • Collaboration and Teamwork: Foster a culture of collaboration by developing effective teamwork skills and resolving conflict constructively.

Testimonials

  • The (Connecting Cohort Coaching) Program was Awesome. My Team and I were able to acquire soo much knowledge and many relationship-building techniques which we can use in our careers and within our day-to-day communication with the general public. Most importantly, I believe that my Team and I were given a huge confidence boost that we can apply going into our New Business Platform.

  • I have already been able to apply many of the tools which I learned through the (Connecting Cohort Coaching) program into my day to day activities. I will also being trying many of the suggested scheduling and time-blocking techniques into my routine moving forward.

  • I plan to use the workbook to track my goals and hold myself accountable. A goal without a plan is just a wish, so writing down my short-term plans and how and who will help me accomplish them can help me stay focused on the final goal.

  • My initial reaction was WHY! I know how to connect with people and build relationships. Ahhh, I didn't! What I liked best was that it gave me confidence. I could walk into a room and meet people, but the (Connecting Cohort Coaching) program showed me that I could build meaningful relationships beyond the surface, not just acquaintances. Relationships now mean more to me, asking for what I need, giving referrals, and really getting to know people on a deeper level.

  • I appreciated the Networking opportunities the (Connecting Cohort Coaching) course opened my eyes to. I will utilize the techniques from the course and from my fellow cohorts to engage more with my (stakeholders).

  • I liked the topics we discussed. It was great to hear from my peers. It also was helpful to create a (Relationship Building Action) plan on how I am going to move forward with the new (company) strategy.
