The 360 Interview Process
The 360 Interview Process helps clients to discover their blind spots and build on strengths. Coach and client set leadership goals and design a plan to reach them. Along the way Sherry guides clients through real situations and circumstances that allow them to practice new skills.
Each client has a direct connection to Sherry throughout the duration of the arrangement and can draw on that relationship as the need arises for guidance, support, and feedback as well as gain valuable resources and tools, such as reading materials and learning opportunities. Sherry offers a variety of ways to connect including phone, internet platform (Skype, Zoom, Google Hangout, etc.) or, for a small fee, in person at your location within 30 miles of Portland, Oregon.
A leadership coaching program may last anywhere from a few weeks to several years, depending on your unique aspirations and desired outcomes.
