Coaching consultants
Sometimes consultants need to be more than consultants.
According to Genevieve Bazelmans, president of Change Management Associates, consultants sometimes must take on more of a coaching role.
She will outline why at the NJ Institute of Management Consultants’ dinner meeting.
Ms. Bazelmans is a specialist in leadership, organizational development and change management. She is expected to present the differences between the consultant and the coach, describe occasions when the transition is necessary and teach dinner guests what they can do in such situations to seize the opportunity.
The cost to attend is $40 for members and $60 for non-members. Registrations, directions and information can be found at www.imcnewjersey.org. There is a $10 surcharge for reservations received after noon on Feb. 6 and at the door.
