The quality of the human experience is limited by the quality of our relationships: relationships with ourselves, with others and with our world. By expertly using the tools of listening, challenging, clarifying, strategizing, inspiring, structuring, and sharing new insights, we use the very latest change technologies to help clients bridge the gap from where they are to where they would like to be in their personal and professional lives. Our clients range from world-class entertainers, athletes, and CEOs as well as the average individual, couple or family. What they all have in common is the desire to achieve exceptional quality relationships with family, friends, colleagues, and themselves. As a result of our consultation and their commitment to excellence, our clients report that they:
* make better decisions
* develop and achieve meaningful goals
* maintain focus on what is most important
* master new challenges
* discover and explore new perspectives
* lower their stress level
* improve relationships
* increase their level of confidence
How does consulting differ from psychotherapy?
Consulting is not Therapy. A traditional therapist looks to diagnose a mental disorder and use therapeutic interventions designed to treat the disorder. When the mental disorder is in remission, or “fixed” the therapy relationship ends.
In contrast, our consulting is focused on assessing a client’s, couple’s, family’s or other organizational system’s current performance and developing strategies designed to enhance existing strengths to meet one’s goals. We work with clients to forge a new future by practicing strategic tools that help move relationships towards excellence. A consulting relationship opens clients to new ways of thinking and behaving, accelerating the natural learning curve, enhancing what is already known, developing relationship agility and resiliency, increasing self-reflection skills, reinforcing strengths, providing new challenges and setting new standards for measuring exceptional performance.
How does the process work?
The Klontz Consulting Group uses a highly customized experience that addresses the client’s specific need and challenges. Our eclectic approach allows for great flexibility in terms of how consulting services are delivered and the tools used. Services may be delivered through personal visits, phone conferences, and electronic interactions.
As consultants, we serve as guides and facilitators. The relationship between Klontz Consulting Group and our clients is seen as a partnership. As such, each party shares responsibility to support the change process. We provide unfiltered, unbiased information and feedback, which is difficult for friends, family members, co-workers and bosses to do. We guide, monitor, help define, and evaluate. With our commitment to excellence, in our work, we employ the very latest empirically tested, state of the art information, tools, strategies and approaches.
Most people believe that quality relationship with their significant others, their families, their friends and their co-workers are the most important things in their lives. As such, we believe these relationships deserve to have a specialist on call also. Excellence in terms of quality relationships will not happen on its own.
Which clients get the most from a consulting relationship?
The profile for a successful consulting client includes a commitment to improve, a willingness to look at what they bring to the relationship they are seeking to improve, an ability to trust the consultant, an openness to feedback, a willingness to practice new and sometimes challenging skills, an openness to new ways of seeing the world, a willingness to look at changing his or her ways of behaving, and a positive optimistic view of the possibility for change to occur. Klontz Consulting Group clients are individuals, couples, families, professionals and systems who are ready to extend and elevate their relationship performance level.
How is success measured?
A successful consulting relationship can be measured, in part, by a positive responsive to the following questions: Has the client been able to exhibit improvement? Are their performance targets being reached? Have others around the client noticed a positive difference or change? Has the client been able to transfer skills learned and developed to other areas of their lives?
