Business Consulting
Build Your Future!
Creating and sustaining a healthy work culture that emphasizes the importance of respect up and down the chain, open communication, and a shared sense of purpose can be a daunting task for any organization. However, cultivating a positive work environment improves employee retention rates which, in turn, can improve productivity and profitability.


What is Consulting?
A consultant is an expert in their field who holds valuable knowledge that can be transferred to their clients.
Consultants will typically assess the current state of the organization and make recommendations on how to improve, providing you with a blueprint of actionable steps to take in order to see results. A consultant works with individuals or teams keeping a macro-level understanding of how the business works in mind, and how their recommendations will impact the organization as a whole.
Our Approach to Business and Leadership Consulting
The three steps that will take your business and its people to the next level! Optimal Coaching & Consulting Solutions employs a three-stage approach to working with teams and leaders:

— Stage 1 —
Assess
- The first stage of our consulting process is all about assessment.
- Jana takes the time to get to know you, your team, and your organization.
- Jana conducts select individual interviews as a way to get you and/or your employees' perspectives on the current state of your work environment and any challenges while also getting a better understanding of what each person's goals and aspirations are and identifying areas where support is needed.
- Interviews remain strictly confidential so that trust can be built and everyone can feel comfortable being open and honest.

— Stage 2 —
Evaluate
- Jana will provide DiSC Aptitude Evaluations to you and/or the team members involved so she can measure individual personality and behavioral styles. The goal with this industry-standard test is to improve communication and performance within teams and to help resolve conflicts with better insight into the individuals involved.
- Jana will also deploy a Culture Climate Survey in order to gain a full picture of the employee perspectives of the team and/or entire organization and identify any pain points that need attention.
- Once this data is collected and then evaluated, a customized plan of action will be created based on the needs of the organization.

— Stage 3 —
Define, Resolve
& Transform
- The final stage of this process is to develop a plan of action specifically tailored to the team and/or organization’s needs with the goal of improving communication, workflows, and overall culture.
- If you have a specific area of focus that has been identified, Jana will work with you to set realistic goals and help you develop a plan to achieve them.
