Craftsbury’s One-on-One Engagements are designed to encourage open and honest dialogue, providing women with a sounding board for their ideas and questions in a safe and supportive environment. We cover topics such as the importance of building self-confidence, the power of a positive mindset, the value of developing a strong network, and ways to identify and overcome obstacles. Direct input from the client’s supervisors is solicited and incorporated in the engagement, which produces remarkable results. Clients move up the ranks quicker when their supervisors are invested in their success.
The One-on-One Engagement consists of an introductory call with the individual, interviews with two to four supervisors (or, depending on the situation, co-workers), nine 90-minute monthly sessions conducted via phone or video conferencing, and a mid-engagement check-in call with supervisors. The typical engagement lasts nine to 12 months; however, engagement extensions are available.
“I thoroughly enjoyed my time working with Caroline. My employer sponsored six career development sessions, one per month for six months. Prior to my first session, Caroline spent time reviewing my prior performance reviews and speaking to the senior bankers I worked closely with. She was able to gather really valuable insight that is often glazed over during the year-end review cycle. This allowed us to structure the six sessions around what I need to focus on most and how to take the next step in my career. I feel more confident leading meetings and presenting to potential clients because of the work I did with Caroline. She also provided additional resources so I can continue to develop even after our final session. I highly recommend working with Caroline.”
