What You Get
Coaching clients will participate in a one-hour coaching session twice per month. In these sessions, your coach will work with you to establish goals and build and execute a plan to achieve those goals. Whether you’re navigating employee turnover, disputes in the workplace, or constructing the right teams, these sessions are a great opportunity to dig into challenging circumstances or reason through the tangible steps you can take ahead of your next session.
There is deep value in one-on-one coaching. We offer a level of personalized focus that will provide numerous benefits, including:
- Establishing Goals: Establishing goals is essential to professional development, and we can help with that. With 1-on-1 coaching, we can craft targets that are specific to you, your career path, and your organization’s needs.
- Better Engagement: By working directly with one of our coaches, you receive a fully engaged and personalized experience. Individuals who have used our services have enjoyed outstanding success in their careers and are more prepared to handle obstacles.
- Deeper Learning: One-on-one coaching allows you to ask questions and enjoy a back-and-forth with our coaches. You can explore a wide-variety of topics, from people management strategies to navigating conflict, in-depth with your coach. We use your unique perspective to build a knowledge base you can use for years.
- Enhanced Support: Individualized coaching means more support as the program moves along. Our greatest asset is our ability to build relationships with emerging talent and people-leaders to provide impactful and evolving learning experiences.
How It Works
The first step is to contact us to share more about yourself and the unique challenges or opportunities you’re facing. Once we know the details of your story we will match you with the right coach to help you reach your goals.
Your coach will be guided by our three most closely-held principles: focus, patience, and resilience. Whether you are a people-leader looking to enhance your skill set or a junior professional searching for the basic skills needed to succeed, you can count on impartial, professional coaching. We’ll design a program for your needs and begin our work.

Our Testimonials
Arguably THE most valuable professional colleague that I have for my dental practice, Karen Brownrigg and her team at iHR Advisory Services have done the following for me: drafted employment agreements for my team, helped me to deal with difficult HR-related issues (e.g. reprimands, terminations, resginations), and provided valuable and practical team leadership support. Recently I enrolled in iHR's ProgressiveHR program and Karen connected me with her Dental HR expert Sheryl Ferguson. In the first few months of my team working with Sheryl I have witnessed an immediate change in my team and in how my dental practice functions: we have become much more collaborative, my dental team is starting to work together to achieve the practice goals linked to our clinic vision, and the workplace has become a much more positive vibe because of Sheryl's coaching work with my team. For dental clinics in the Ottawa and Gatineau areas that are currently suffering from HR problems and internal strife, I HIGHLY recommend working with Sheryl and Karen and the entire team at iHR - it will TRANSFORM your dental practice team!
Meeting and working with Karen from iHR was, truly, a most pleasant experience. Karen helped me to develop a workplace assessment program for my department and then provided some coaching and development opportunities for members of my leadership team. I am proud to say that following all of this great work, we have a more collaborative, committed, and engaged workforce and a new workplace culture in our department. Ask Karen about FourSight - it has been a game-changer for me!
We are a small boutique firm and Karen has provided us with excellent guidance and support when it comes to dealing with HR issues. She is very professional and we are very fortunate to have been referred to her and her team. Sometimes HR issues arise unexpected and a quick response is needed, which Karen has readily provided to us. We highly recommend iHR Advisory Services.
Karen and the team completed a Human Resources project for our organization from the beginning helping us to scope out the work, helping us with communications to our staff team, continuously updating on their progress and presenting the results to our board and staff. The work that was done was professional and a result of their impressive knowledge in the area of Human Resources. Our organization will definitely use iHR for future Human Resources projects.
