Mentoring
Fast track the development of solid project management skills and processes within your organization by providing your highest potential managers with a professional mentor. The Project Manager Mentor program is geared towards managers who are upwardly mobile, focused on increasing their knowledge while improving their skills, and eager to contribute to the bottom line results of their organizations. The program offers unlimited access to me by e-mail, phone, or fax for a period of six months. Where possible, we will meet in person at a mutually convenient time for 90 minutes on a bi-weekly basis.
At the outset, we will establish a performance development plan with specific objectives and completion dates. As a well connected expert in project management, and as a trusted advisor, I can provided networking opportunities, developmental exercises, recommend educational programs, assist in developing a project management career path and be a confidential sounding board. During our bi-weekly meetings we will discuss accomplishments, any obstacles that are impeding our success and recommend action plans. I will hold each mentee accountable to the commitments they make during the program.
The Pottruff Mentoring Program creates a Win-Win solution for individuals and their organizations.

Coaching
Personalized coaching is one of the very best developmental experiences. It offers executives and managers the opportunity to focus and move towards accomplishing personal, professional, and organizational goals, with the assistance of a confidential and unbiased coach.
New managers are often blind-sided by the discovery that the technical skills that catapulted them into the management ranks differ from the skills used by a first rate manager. Personalized one-on-one coaching closes the leadership gap by developing the communication, influence, persuasion, decision making and problem solving skills that are the hallmark of successful managers.
Our coaching program offers maximum flexibility and is customized in accordance with each individual’s goals and needs. Coaching offers unlimited access and is done remotely by phone or through a series of face to face meetings.
Our coaching programs typically result in:
- Stronger leadership and management
- Reduced stress levels
- More strategic focus
- Improved communication among teams
- Stronger relationships
- Healthier workplaces
