ABOUT US

ABC stands for ‘AboutBeingConnected™’. Our coaching, consulting and targeted training services are customized for the specific needs of executives and entrepreneurs.

AboutBeingConnected™ helps leaders of medium-sized corporations and family-owned businesses based in Western Canada. Our services are specifically designed for those who want to:

  • Build stronger ‘connection’ in team / organization
  • Improve profitability
  • Increase productivity
  • Reduce conflict

AboutBeingConnected™ achieves this by reducing feelings of disconnection and disengagement within the team and minimizing organizational friction.

By focusing upon ‘Rapport, Relationships and Results’ AboutBeingConnected™ helps its clients increase self-awareness, interpersonal empathy and collaboration among team members.

There are four main areas in which AboutBeingConnected™ support clients to make positive change within their personnel, teams and organization. They are:

  • Understanding Self
  • Getting Others
  • Bridging Differences
  • Connecting Cultures

Taking a systemic approach to how people are working within themselves as well as with others, AboutBeingConnected™ guides clients toward a whole-solution. This saves the unnecessary (but common) waste of resources by solving part of the problem, only to have it resurface in a different form somewhere else in your team / organization.

In Summary: AboutBeingConnected™ provides customized team productivity solutions that solve specific challenges.  Unlike one-size-fits-all team development programs, at AboutBeingConnected™, we address your organization’s specific situation, by starting at the individual level and then connect that to your unique culture – “how you do things around there”.
