Consultants occasionally coach their clients and coaches occasionally consult to their clients. It happens. However, not all consultants can coach good enough and not all coahes can consult good enough. It is important to keep this in mind and not become unnecessarily ambitious. —RLN

Over the years, I have heard people call for ever more efficiency here and there, and especially in the workplace. Efficiency has a pleasant ring to it that conveys a certain kind of wisdom. It is good to do things right. Unfortunately, this is not good enough. We do better by ensuring that we do the right thing first. Doing things right for the wrong thing creates a number of complex problems that require solving downstream. Effectiveness targets doing the right thing. I like to the right thing first. — Ray Newkirk

Coaching Programs
All of our Coaching & Consulting programs are designed for the client. Dr. Newkirk does not believe in giving advice, rather he maintains that sharing and developing insights deliver more potent results that facilitate client problem-solving success. Advice can be wrong. Dr. Newkirk likes to remind people that: “The problem with advice is that the client might take it. The client does better in life when he or she solves their own problems.” Problem-Solving is the hallmark of the Ulthule™ approach to Coaching & Consulting success. At the team and individual levels, Dr. Newkirk & the Systems Management Institute assists clients with:
