Career Partners International, Twin Cities coaches leaders to increase their effectiveness and move to a higher level of performance and sustained results. We focus on measurable outcomes, organizational and personal goals, and creating commitment to sustainable leadership strength. We collaborate with our clients to ensure that the broader corporate perspective stays in sight as we work on individual development.

Our Coaching Approach

Coaching is leadership development that is both formal and personal, as a qualified coach works one-on-one with an organizational leader. These dynamic, confidential sessions help leaders establish and achieve clear goals resulting in improved performance and greater leadership impact.

By asking powerful questions, coaches “hold up a mirror” so clients can see their areas of strength as well as challenge areas where behavior change will open up performance possibilities. Coaching helps leaders make successful career transitions, build positive relationships, lead change, handle inevitable stress, and manage critical priorities. Coaching work is personalized so that each leader’s intellect, emotions, beliefs, and business skills are leveraged to drive measurable results.

Expert Coaches

CPI Twin Cities’ executive coaches work with leaders from Director to C-level in a wide range of industries and businesses. Some of our coaches specialize in particular development issues; others are generalists with a broad range of coaching capabilities. All are equipped to support the growth and development of your executives and high-potential talent.  

Collaborating for Maximum Results. Our coaches work as a team to ensure the best outcome for your leaders. For example, if a leader making a successful transition to a next-level role could benefit from public speaking coaching, we will bring in one of our specialists to grow that skill.
