ACTing Right™ Coaching Program
Climbing the corporate ladder requires knowledge, skill, savvy and a well-crafted career plan. It isn’t a matter of luck, who you know or simply being a hard worker. Many African-Americans have found it particularly challenging to gain traction on their career track. The ACTing Right™ Program led by a fellow African-American that has been where you are, will teach you:
- How to navigate your corporate culture
- How to hear what’s not being said, but that every successful corporate climber must learn
- How to get management to support your advancement
You’re among the elite. Perhaps you are one of the few African Americans to climb the corporate ladder in your organization. Yet the higher you climb, the more slippery each rung becomes. Perhaps you’ve even hit a wall. How can you get back on track and continue blazing a trail for others to follow?
Invest in executive coaching geared for the needs of African-American men and women. Consider how a tennis coach helps budding tennis stars. The coach – an experienced player - works one-on-one with a talented player with great potential to develop key skills, discover new strategies, overcome internal and external pressures and stay focused on their long-term goals. The coach keeps the player accountable and pushes them to continue to challenging themselves.
The ACTing Right™ Program works much the same way. An executive coach, who is an experienced corporate climber that:
- Understands the corporate culture.
- Is skilled at helping corporate executives and aspiring executives to identify the skills and objectives necessary to reach their business and personal goals.

- Establishes pre-determined, mutually agreed upon expectations for monitoring measurable results.
- Meets with you regularly to assess your progress in outlined areas and to help keep your progress on track.
