Services > Minimal Time Services

At Ralston Consulting you'll find a capable, flexible team that is ready to
respond to your most unique and immediate needs. When time is of the
essence, Ralston can help. Following is a list of just a few of the minimal
time services we can deliver.

Meeting Observation and Feedback
Every group creates its own patterns of interaction. Some helpful, and some get in the way. Observing your team meetings through a lens of effective group dynamics provides invaluable insight and quickly raises the quality of results.


Issue Specific Leader Coaching
Few leaders receive the training or have the experience to respond to all situations faced, especially the people and team issues. Just having a sounding board to explore your ideas is helpful to nailing down a desired course of action. Our coaching relationships assist leaders on both counts.

Team Assessment and Feedback
High performing teams develop a norm of giving on-going feedback regarding both business issues and their own interactions. By conducting a team assessment, we can move any group, from boards to ad hoc teams to this powerful norm.

Issue Specific Meeting Facilitation
Have an issue and want results quickly without worrying about all the group dynamics? Do you just want to participate and not be concerned with leading the meeting? We can guide a team through engaging discussions and effective decisions, allowing all to stay fully engaged in the complex at hand.

Purposeful Meeting Design
You can dramatically increase the likelihood of successful meeting outcomes with careful planning. Let us work behind the scenes and use our experience and skills to help you create the best methods to fulfill the meeting's purpose and objectives.

Leadership Assessment
Find out what impact specific leadership practices actually have on others. Our leadership practices assessment can quickly point out patterns which may hinder a leader's effectiveness. Exploring alternative behaviors with a Ralston Executive Coach can make this process even more powerful.

Two-Party Conflict Resolution Facilitation
Conflict often promotes creativity. But when it negatively affects people's ability to work together, both the task at hand and other team members usually suffer. We can help to solve conflicts, strengthen work relationships, sort out differences and find common-ground solutions.

Fast-Start a New Team
Launch a new team with power. We can take any newly-formed team, temporary or permanent, through a number of activities which will establish productive interactions and solid decision-making practices right from the start.
