One-on-One Sensitivity Training for Executives & Managers
When a Key Person is involved in a potentially problematic incident — perhaps a complaint has been filed, or the organization has just become aware of some seemingly inappropriate behavior — addressing the situation requires a specialized approach.
This Key Person may be too valuable to terminate, or the behavior may be mild enough that some response other than termination is appropriate. We deliver best practices for correcting the problematic behavior and protecting your company from future liability.
We provide your Key Person with a proven process and appropriate forum to gain understanding of their behavior and the related personal and professional consequences. Participants emerge from the session ready to return to the workplace focused on applying what they have learned.
Organizations tell us the combination of skill-building and processing is exactly what their Key Person needed during this challenging time. Trainees report outstanding value received for themselves and their organization. See our client testimonials as documentation of the program’s success.

About One-on-One Sensitivity Training
While group workshops are valuable, some situations require a more personalized approach. One-on-one coaching allows participants to address specific workplace concerns in a private, supportive environment where meaningful change can occur.
Organizations often recommend executive or management coaching when an individual needs assistance with:
- Workplace communication concerns
- Leadership development
- Conflict with employees or coworkers
- Complaints related to interpersonal behavior
- Improving emotional intelligence
- Managing difficult conversations
- Building stronger professional relationships
- Developing greater self-awareness
- Reinforcing respectful workplace expectations
The objective is not simply to address a single issue but to help leaders become more effective communicators and role models within their organization.
