Training and Coaching

Continuous professional development is an important part of any organization. This maxim applies just as well to Baystream; we invest to continually broaden and deepen the expertise of our people. In this quest we have found in TAC-Coaching Inc., and its visionary leader Ken Ingram, a valued joint venture Partner.

Enabled by TAC-Coaching Inc., Baystream provides Coaching and Professional Development as a service to its valued Clients. The Coaching and Training part of our work is also integrated within Baystream's LEAN Sigma Consulting division.

Performance Training:

All effective employees, regardless of their profession have four key areas (KASH) that can benefit from ongoing Performance Training.

They need a foundation of KNOWLEDGE that enables them to operate at a superior level and as the workplace changes, they need to continually upgrade that knowledge.
They need a mature, confident ATTITUDE that enables them to behave in the most appropriate, productive way - acting responsibly and effectively in every situation.
In most cases, they need PEOPLE SKILLS to deal effectively with each other, with clients and with those that report to them, in order to maximize potential and make the workplace fun.
They need effective HABITS that enable them to focus their energies in high payoff activities that get the greatest return on their investment of time.

We focus on ATTITUDE, SKILLS and HABITS - the three areas that represent at least 85% of a person's ability to be successful in their job.

Great People Managers

Great managers have Management "KASH": Knowledge, Attitude, Skills and Habits. Great People Managers have a great management awareness. They are focused on their people and resources. They have a caring, coaching instinct and love to see people grow and succeed. They recognize that people have unique strengths and weaknesses and they know their job is to get the best out of their people's strengths and to minimize the weaknesses. They develop their people. They are like catalysts. They have the ability to take the vision of the organization or visionary manager and translate that into clear goals and expectations.

Visionary Managers

Visionary Managers are different from People Managers. They still have Management Knowledge, Attitudes, Skills and Habits, but they are unsatisfied with the Status Quo. They are optimists and future oriented. They can see the future more clearly and intensely than many people see the present. They see opportunities in the market, come up with new ways of doing things and find new services or products to offer to their clients.

While visionary managers still need to understand and be competent at doing the things that great people managers do, often it is not their strength. Many companies - and many Visionary Managers - don't recognize that the two jobs are distinctly unique and require different types of people.
