Coaching and Consulting

Coaching is a development tool that empowers thinking, supports progress, and amplifies your efforts. By creating dedicated time and space to think deeply and act intentionally, coaching clients are positioned to seize opportunities and overcome barriers. Using 45-90 minute sessions, our coaches respond to your preferences by providing unbiased listening, authentic questions, and strategic support for continuous performance improvement.

All coaching and consulting is available for individuals and teams in virtual, face-to-face, or hybrid environments. Your organization or Perception Coaching LLC staff can host our in-person events and sessions. Perception Coaching LLC offices are located in Duluth, Minnesota, USA.

Performance coaching for managers, entrepreneurs, and strategic learners. Focus on finding the right path by prioritizing tasks, implementing talent-based action steps, and talking through successes and challenges to efficiently accomplish goals. Regular coaching enhances the impact, with the added benefit of maintaining long-term focus on what is important. Schedule here; investment $125 USD.

Executive coaching focuses on vision, systems, and opportunities. Think aloud with an unbiased confidential coach to effectively navigate communication, problem solving, risk evaluation, and decisions involving organizational complexities. Leverage our tools to lead your organization, develop your talents, and increase the impact of your efforts. Schedule here; investment 175 USD.

Consulting supports your organization’s evaluation and development of capacity, culture, and initiatives. Perception Coaching LLC’s consulting psychologist provides questions and perspectives to engage leaders with the perceptions and interactions of various stakeholders, and how they can impact the success of the organization. To see if a custom development program, communication system, or other impactful solution meets your needs, schedule your innovation or change leader for an exploratory consult with Dr. Bengtson.
