At
last, Steven Sessions, who has
gained the reputation among his peers as “the guru’s guru,”
leads out in providing Personal Executive
Coaching to property managers throughout the United
States. If your organization does not take care of your tenant’s,
owners, and contractors, and perform well, there is somebody
out there who will. The pressure is on for property managers to
perform at their best. There has never been a greater need for
effective coaching. |
Steven functions
as an advisor to professional service firms, helping them solve (for
themselves) their problems and management issues. He sees his role as one
of helping clients and client teams to generate alternative action
plans/options, explore the pro's, con's, risks and costs of those options,
to provide a recommendation but, ultimately, allow clients to make their
own decisions.
Among the managerial topic areas he works on are
strategy, marketing, human resources and organization, compensation and
other reward systems and profitability improvement. In addition to his
counseling work, Steven spends about 25% of his time making presentations
and facilitating meeting discussions, including retreats, workshops and
training sessions.
Consulting Philosophy
Steven’s philosophy of consulting is that it is better
for a firm to conduct their own analyses and reach their own conclusions,
stimulated and guided by his input. He restricts his presentations at
meetings to events that are designed to accomplish specific goals for the
organization.
Steven’s Practice
Among the managerial topic areas he works on are:
* Strategy
* Marketing, Client Relations, Client Service
* Managing people
* Being an Effective Manager
* Profitability improvement
Steven’s fee is US $1,000 per day, plus travel expenses. (He does not offer his services in units of less than a
day.) These fees are subject to an unconditional client satisfaction
guarantee: If when the work is done, the client does not feel that full
value was received, then the client decides how much it was worth and how
much to pay (if anything). Should the client choose to invoke the
guarantee, Steven encourages and welcomes the client to call and discuss
with him their feedback and reasons for their disappointment.
There is no charge for time spent examining material
provided by clients. Steven encourages clients to send extensive materials
in advance, so that initial meetings can be immediately customized
A Professional Relationship
Steven practices total client confidentiality, and
therefore does not disclose the name of clients he has worked for.
However, the reviews of his work elsewhere on this website does
provide a sense of the type of clients who are familiar with his work. |
“As
property managers are in the business of providing highly personalized
