Professional Coaching & Training
Coaching is at the heart of DCC’s service offerings. We get to the heart of the matter, so we get to the heart of your people.
Our coaches work on a deep level utilizing the DCC “Inside Out” Approach where we support people in doing the inner work in order to transform outer results. We simply Connect the Dots™. We take into account the whole person, not just the worker.

DCC has over 50 coaches as part of its WIN™ Coaching Network. Our coaches have deep business experience as senior executives or as entrepreneurs, many years of industry experience, and an ability to work with clients to claim their purpose and potential. Working with a trained DCC Coach is transformational on all levels.
Coaching starts out with assessment and then a detailed plan of action. DCC partners with senior management on outcomes and reports back on those while maintaining the crucial client confidentiality. 1:1 Personal and Group Coaching can produce outstanding results in morale, productivity, quality, customer or patient satisfaction, and revenue generation.
Working with a large HMO DCC coached 100 managers and key contributors. The value of the coaching was rated at 9 out of 10 and there were significant results in patient satisfaction, teamwork, motivation, and quality. Employee Satisfaction/Engagement increased overall too.

- Over 80% agree that their participation in the coaching program is helping to create an environment of greater respect and trust. Overall, they rate the value received from the coaching program as 9, and the impact of coaching on strengthening their leadership as 8 (on a scale of 1 to 10).
- After coaching participants felt they were better able to:
Communicate and collaborate better at work (39%), Drive more strongly for results and support my team’s development (26%), Champion change & be accountable (16%)Â
Employee Development
DCC works within all levels of an organization from the newest to the most senior employee and everyone in between.
For some people, Employee Development often means a series of workshops. Although this can be a valuable part of development, we believe this method leads only into the entryway of a more systematic and systemic approach.
We have discovered the most effective Employee Development program requires small amounts of content, reinforced by 1:1 personal or group coaching, and integrated into the culture through action learning and experiential activities.
David Couper helped to create a core curriculum for over 5000 new entrants to a large professional services firm. The curriculum was designed to build both technical and interpersonal skills for a global audience. As part of the program David Couper oversaw the development of classroom, self-study, video and online support. The program consistently scored well with participants and built a consistent worldwide skill level. A key success factor was the partnering of professional facilitators with experienced managers from the field in the delivery of the material. This showed the commitment of management to training and gave validity and authenticity to the content.
