Accelerate Your Development

The learning-and-performance field is tricky business. We are awash in perspectives, and tools, and practices. Our field is hard to navigate. What Will Thalheimer provides in his coaching experiences is perspective and wisdom from a lifetime of experience doing good work. He’ll start understanding your goals, near-term and long-term. He’ll ask permission to challenge you to see things differently, to diagnose your areas of strength and weakness, to assign you challenges and readings and experiences. Once you’ve set your goals, Will will help you monitor your progress and stay true to your hopes and aspirations. If you want, he’ll look at your work products and give feedback, he’ll analyze your designs, he’ll read your writing. Every step of the way, Will will support you in your efforts to develop yourself.

Plan Your Career and Next Steps

Our field is filled with a wide variety of opportunities, but many remain hidden or hard to grasp. Whether you are new to our field or are a seasoned professional, there may be roads that are unknown or blocked for you. Navigating a career can range from opportunistic to planned, but regardless, you need to be ready to take the next step. In his coaching engagements, Will will help you explore your values, what makes you happy, what drives you crazy, who should you surround yourself with; to find joy, to learn, to grow, to make a difference. If you’d like, Will will seek out people in our industry with whom you can network, learn, and connect with. He’ll encourage you to set out a broad vision for your future, one that inspires but doesn’t constrict. Will’s goal is to help you clarify your goals and move toward them.
