A Business/Individual coach is very similar to a sports coach. A coach does not execute the plays for the athlete but helps them develop their personal skills and knowledge of the game in order for them to make better decisions and excel on their own. At its very best, the relationship is long-term and feeds on continued guidance, support, and encouragement, but thrives on the relentless demand for accountability.
Traditional consulting, while having its place, takes a very different approach. It is not holistic when designed to “fix” a specific challenge without seeing the whole, and is usually short-term in nature. It can be strictly process driven, it can dictate solutions rather than cultivate them, and is void of accountability. When the consultant exits without embedding the disciplines necessary to ensure a culture change has taken hold, that guarantees individual accountability will not occur. Thousands of dollars are spent with little or no change. This is usually the difference between short-term solutions vs. long-term, sustainable thinking.

COACHING VS. TRAINING
The difference between training and coaching is execution. It is the difference between learning and application. Training provides the how to, but coaching instills the will to achieve to one’s full potential and be held accountable for results. At the CapTree Group, this is our greatest strength. We partner with our clients to move beyond the initial benefits of training and build an organization of values-driven behaviors. This culture is what builds high performing, fulfilling, sustainable business and career success.
Assessments
For Organizations The D.I.AL.O.G (Data Indication Alignment of Organizational Goals) is an organizational assessment tool that provides information as to how well critical elements are working together to achieve business and strategic goals. It also identifies which of these critical elements are working against you. Our approach is unique in that we measure the interrelationships of the essential elements that become the predictors of future strength. The assessment provides a comprehensive perspective of the business based on the criteria for Performance Excellence as used by the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Program.
For Individuals The Attribute Index™ is a personal assessment tool that provides information as to how a person thinks and makes decisions—what natural talents he or she possesses. By understanding the way in which a person thinks, it becomes possible to leverage that knowledge to make better decisions, maximize strengths, minimize weaknesses, and achieve greater results personally and organizationally.
The DISC Index™ measures a person’s natural and adaptive behavioral styles, which is crucial when working with team members, as a leader or manager, or in an environment that requires conflict resolution. By understanding how you prefer to behave, you are able to better align your environment, and select the work that ensures more meaning and success while producing less stress.
The Values Index™ delivers the most comprehensive understanding of a person’s value or motivational structure. Understanding what really motivates or drives a person is a crucial part of success. It is this understanding that helps to ensure that optimal motivation, passion, and drive are always created to achieve the highest levels of personal and professional success.
