The saying “it’s lonely at the top” is the hard truth for many
leaders - especially in the conservation community. Many leaders
just fall into their role, and rarely receive any guidance, feedback
or coaching.
This TREC program typically combines a 360-Degree Feedback Survey
with tailored coaching from a seasoned TREC Senior Associate.
360-Degree Feedback
The 360-Degree Feedback survey (example
here) seeks constructive input on your
handling of the challenges and responsibilities that go with leading
an environmental organization. The assessments, held confidential,
are gathered from a 360-degree range of people you choose from among
co-workers, colleagues, Board, collaborators, funders, and others
familiar with your leadership style. Data is collected via the
Internet or fax and compiled in a detailed, easy-to-read report with
ratings and written comments grouped by responder type. You review
the report (example
here) in a confidential meeting with your TREC coach.
Leadership Coaching
Leadership Coaching follows the 360-Degree feedback report. In
phone discussions with your coach, you explore the leadership goals
that you want to work toward, lay plans to move ahead, gain insight
into the challenges and barriers you’ll meet, and make commitments
to action. Conversations with your coach are strictly confidential,
and typically involve 45 minute phone calls every 2 to 3 weeks,
spread over a period of 3 to 6 months.
The whole process is tailored to fit your needs, schedule and
circumstances, and is completely confidential. It is designed to
meet leaders where they are and give them the focused support that
usually can’t be provided through workshops and retreats.

receive the same feedback and coaching described here, so you should
not apply for both programs.)
