Up-Boarding saves your company time and money

On-boarding talent absorbs 6 to 9 months of resources until the talent is fully engaged and able to deliver tactically on your Strategic Goals and Objectives (SGOs). For a $60,000 salary, that’s $30,000 to $45,000 in real cost. (1)

Step 1)
Group Workshop

In a GROUP setting, we first overview the professional development program details and work begin teaching the HOW TOs of uncovering, proving, cataloging, and connecting their professional value. The group dynamic is key in rapidly acquiring the skills needed to work independently. Each participant will be supported by Your Standout Brand’s online self-study course which includes our eBook, and exercises for learning the concepts applied in the 1-on-1 coaching sessions. Group sessions can last up to 2 hours. The number of sessions will depend on the number of team members in the program.

Step 2)
1-on-1 Coaching

Next, in the following weeks, we coach each participant PRIVATELY to write and refine effective, measurable goals connected to the strategy and tactics of your organization. Along with uncovering and cataloging their professional value, your talent will learn how to effectively, succinctly, and authentically communicate their abilities. In these private sessions, we have the opportunity for candid and trusted conversations key to unearthing your teams’ aspirations and experience to maximize the value for both your employee and your organization. There will be a minimum of five coaching sessions - four sessions leading up to the final presentation and one final wrap-up session post-final presentation. Individual sessions last up to 1 hour per session.

Step 3)
Final Presentation

Finally, with your executive management, we facilitate a highly-focused 20 minute conversation between each participant, you and your invited executive management team members. In this conversation, you will hear from the participants directly as they outline specific tactics, strategies and projects where they can deliver additional value for your organization. Included in this dialogue will be their short and long-term professional goals mapped to your strategic plan, as well as their taxonomy of value. The culmination of this conversation is a frank assessment of your talent’s complete professional value and aspirations so you can perform up-boarding and staffing decisions best suited to the goals of your organization. The Final Presentation is the only time when C-Class participation is required.

After joining a new organization, I knew I needed to quickly mobilize my team and ensure they were all working together on our newly developed Organizational Strategic Plan (OSP). I focused on understanding who had the value, passion, education, experience, and talent necessary to drive the implementation of our OSP. As a COO, I did not have the time myself to invest in this critical effort. Because I had worked with Your Standout Brand as a private client, I engaged Gail & Kelley to work with my team to assess my team’s abilities, build their confidence, and establish much needed trust between the executives and those implementing the strategies and tactics. The results so far are that 70% of those completing the course were immediately up-boarded to take on more responsibility with increased compensation. Another 20% are slated for up-boarding as growth demand and the remaining 10% are happy to stay where they are. All are committed to our success. My team is focused, energized, and connected in ways that were not possible before the Success-Ready Professional Development program.

The Your Standout Brand online course and coaching ‘changed my life’! I had an undergraduate degree and two masters degrees, but lacked the confidence to communicate my value. Gail and Kelley helped me build my professional brand and my networking skills. I now have the ability to communicate my value with confidence. In 2019 I accepted a Client Services Associate position with a successful Wealth Management Firm. By the way, they approached me with the offer!

Have you given your brand a check-up lately? These professionals helped me obtain my current position when I thought I didn't stand a chance. Learn how to show others you're the right candidate.

I ‘ripped the band aid off’ after a coaching session with YSOB and quit my job and moved full steam ahead with my design business. I now have the career I want versus the job someone else wanted me to have!
- J. J. Independent Designer and Consultant

Your Standout Brand (Kelley and Gail) coached me to go after a COO position with confidence. Not only did I get the COO position, I received a substantial pay raise with customized benefits that significantly moved my career forward.

Within two weeks I moved from ‘uncertainty’ to the selected asset manager for an oil and gas investment portfolio.
- E. H. Oil & Gas Independent Consultant

Your Standout Brand talked me through how to defend my position to a principal partner. I was intimidated and lacked confidence. But Gail and Kelley talked me off the ledge. At the end of my presentation the partner told me “I delivered everything he was looking for and he intentionally tried to make it difficult for me, but he had a really hard time doing that, because I was so well prepared and had the data to support all of his pushbacks”. I am continuing to build my values via their on-line course and coaching sessions.
