Executive Leadership & Team Development

Synchronizing people, both as individuals and within groups.

Like coaches, conductors and automatic transmissions, we help harness energy—then direct it. Through the use of our workstyle assessments and talent development programs, we provide a framework for assembling the right people and optimizing their individual and group contributions.

“I am an engineer and conservative businessman. When Sara Fernald first introduced the workstyle assessments to my 10-person firm in 2005, I was skeptical. We have since scaled to three divisions and over 1,000 employees. Fernald & Co.’s contribution to our pre-employment screening, on-boarding, and team and leadership development are a core part of our company’s success and culture.”

Our Services

We train your management to be self-sustaining by using our assessments and programs, or you can leverage us as your ongoing external talent development resource.

01.

Employee Selection

Fernald & Co.’s pre-employment screening tools add critical objectivity to employee selection. Hiring has a lot in common with dating—everyone wants the ultimate choice to be “the one.”

02.

New Hire Integration

Common wisdom and research indicate that effective on-boarding programs significantly enhance productivity (for both new hires and their co-workers), employee retention, and most importantly customer satisfaction. Fernald & Co. offers a powerful on-boarding program to complement your organization’s new hire practices.

03.

Talent Development

Fernald & Co.’s talent development program identifies the professional strengths, weaknesses, and preferences of individual team members.

Key benefits include:

• Introducing an objective third-party voice into employee development dialogues (especially in situations where an employee may be highly sensitive about core weaknesses); and

• Customized reports containing practical tips, in-depth strategies, and a list of books, seminars, and other resources that address the individual’s professional development challenge.

Client Testimonials

When you work with Fernald & Co. you work with the best in the business. We make sure that your team is set up for success.

I first engaged Sara as a coach in 1995 when I held a well-regarded and well-compensated leadership role. Given this apparent success, I needed to explore the reasons for my underlying discontent. With Sara’s tools, guidance, and wisdom, I not only created a way to reshape my career, but also reclaim my childhood passion for playing musical instruments. Over the years, I have reengaged Sara at a number of significant junctures in my personal and professional life to benefit from her ever-expanding insight and expertise.

Sara has advised me through a very pivotal point in my life, helping me to initiate and carry out a major relocation while honing in on my true passion for nonprofit work. Her thoughtful questions, business-focused strategy, and forwarding-thinking approach have kept me on track with targeted goals despite my heavy workload and existing commitments. Sara has personally invested in my success, and coached me through elements that are typically outside my comfort zone. I wouldn’t have made the progress that I have without her continual support and advice!
