stellar leadership
People have to trust the leaders who are setting the tone and pace, or the job doesn’t get done as effectively, thoughtfully, or quickly. Leaders who people want to follow are the foundation of a high-performing business.
team-based culture
When leaders and their teams partner, lead by example, and role model, a culture of team-based work grows. The result is a place where people want to come to work, get things done the right way, and help each other to do their best.
fostering talent
When individuals are aware of their own talents, have the opportunity to expand their potential, and seek to develop both their own skills and the talents of others, they flourish. This benefits not only their own careers and personal lives, but also their teammates and their company.
We all know that these principles are important. But not every company has the internal resources to implement them effectively.
This is where bluvista comes in, with the experience, time, and expertise to support leaders, teams, and talent. bluvista understands what it takes for leaders and individual contributors at all levels to be not just successful, but stellar.

faq
Q: What is coaching?
A: Coaching is the process of working with talent, on a one-to-one basis, to help them develop skills – whether leadership, career, or business skills – to help them reach their fullest potential. The coach uses creative approaches to give people insight into where they are today, and why and how to get to their next chapter.
Q: Why would I benefit from a coach?
A: A coach can help you be even more effective in your job, or if you want to pursue another job. The coach helps you see what is possible, and then shows you how to make any needed changes that tie to what is important to you. Sometimes it is challenging to get direct and consistent feedback from your boss, peers or direct reports. A coach can facilitate this by being a devil’s advocate, accountability partner, sounding board, brainstorming partner, and dedicated leader to help you reach your fullest potential.
Q: Is the coaching relationship confidential?
A: Yes. The coaching relationship cannot exist without confidentiality. The coach will not share any information about the engagement with others.
Q: How will I know if I’m successful?
A: You will feel your success. You will feel more confident, self-aware, in control of your destiny, satisfied at work, engaged, and stretched as a person.
Q: Is having a coach like having a therapist?
A: No. While it might feel like therapy at times, coaching is not therapy. Coaching focuses on building on your strengths while helping you get “unstuck.” Coaching focuses on where you are, why you are where you are, and creating a plan to get where you want to go.
Q: Who needs coaching?
A: Leaders who need coaching include ones who are:
- First-time managers, directors, vice presidents, presidents, GMs, and/or CEOs.
- Feeling “stuck” with where they are at work – including lack of work-life balance, challenges with co-workers/boss, or dissatisfaction with their career.
- Wanting to get to the next level but aren’t sure how.
- Wanting to be challenged.
- Needing feedback – they aren’t sure where they stand or how they are perceived in their organization.
Q: My company wants to hire a coach for me. Does this mean they think I’m a poor performer?
A: No – it’s the opposite. Companies hire coaches for their people because they believe they are worth it. Many private and public companies who prioritize talent development hire coaches for their top people, because they know it works.
