Are you struggling with relationship tension in your organization?
Manager’s and Supervisors
Are you a manager or supervisor frustrated with all the nitpicking and conflicts between employees? Do you experience frequent workplace interpersonal communication breakdowns? It’s tiring and stressful to constantly be managing workplace relationships.
You’re not alone if you long for a more cohesive and productive team. You want workers who attract customers and contribute creatively; who get along and work well together. Employees who consider your organization a great place to work!
Become a Better Manager
What if you could become a better manager, inspiring your team to improve the quality of their interactions with customers and co-workers? Not only would you spend less time ‘relationship refereeing’, you’d see productivity skyrocket as employees become more engaged.
People Smart Tools specializes in helping managers of businesses and municipalities have more influence with their staff. Owners and managers call on us when they know they are not getting the best out of their team. We can help select, develop, and retain outstanding employees who are fully engaged.
We provide coaching and training that develops workplace interpersonal communication skills and helps managers improve their influence with those they supervise. When workplace relationships are good, employees are engaged. When employees are mismanaged, they become disengaged, contributing very little to the success of their assignments.
We invite you to browse our site. You’ll find information about how we work, case studies and client testimonials, the services we provide, and free resources. You’ll get a sense of how we can help you.
“You will never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.”

Tell me about your coaching approach.
Jim’s total person approach revolves around a deep understanding of your natural skills, communication style, and your driving forces (values). State of the art assessment tools and listening with the intent to understand are tools to gain a picture of your strengths and your concerns.
Together you will plan the scope and process of the project. A summary of the plans is crafted into a Letter of Engagement which puts you both mentally on the same page and serves as a guide. You and Jim will meet on a regular basis and together work on accomplishing your desired outcomes. Jim is easily available for phone calls, texts and in person meetings as needed. Fees are charged by the project, not hourly.
