 “Breakdown in communications
is at the root of many organizational problems.”

Communications Coaching for individuals 

Doc’s Master of Science thesis topic at American University was “Improving Effective Communication between the Scientists and Engineers at the U. S. Department of Energy and the Public Stakeholders and Native American Tribes.”  As Doc conducted her research and interacted with scientists and engineers to improve their communication skills, she found they responded very well to communications coaching.  Dr. Frank offers coaching to individuals based on the lessons she learned through her research at the U.S. Department of Energy and as a private organizational consultant to the private and non-profit sectors. 

Communications Workshops for teams

As a certified Myers-Briggs™ profiler/trainer, Dr. Frank has developed Myers- Briggs™ workshops with a communications emphasis.  Interactive exercises help participants to understand their Myers-Briggs™ type indicator and the type indicators of others in the team.   MBTI™ indicators are based on 4 preferences: how one prefers to direct one’s energy; process information; make decisions and organize one’s life.   

Understanding another’s individual communication preference will allow one to bridge communication gaps.  Participants are introduced to different communication styles; learn how to “listen in a different way” and how to formulate dialogue with a better chance of being “heard” by listeners.
