The Coaching Solution

On Tuesday, January 26 at 7:00 pm, Bernardsville resident Renée Robertson will speak at Bernardsville Public Library about her new book, “The Coaching Solution: How to Design an Impactful Coaching Program to Drive Talent Development, Organizational Change and Business Results.” She will also describe her firsthand experience during the merger of telecom giants MCI and Verizon, and the implosion of WorldCom. As a former talent management executive, Ms. Robertson will share her best practices and lessons learned. Her goal, she says, is to promote coaching inside organizations and to guide those interested in building high-performance employees, teams and organizations. “The Coaching Solution” teaches how internal coaching programs, when executed properly, can retain and develop talent in the face of rapid change. Books will be available for purchase and signing at the event.

Ms. Robertson is the founder and CEO of Trilogy Development, a learning and consulting firm with a proven track record in designing and implementing internal coaching programs, sales force performance initiatives, and talent development solutions. A veteran Fortune 500 executive, she has served as a trusted adviser and coach to many top business leaders. Robertson is a two-time winner of the International Coach Federation’s prestigious Prism Award, a recognition of her innovative coaching programs at MCI and Verizon. At Verizon, the program engaged more than six hundred leaders from all functional areas over a four-year period. It reinforced key training and change initiatives and was a critical component to succession planning. It was combined with key leadership development programs for female and ethnically diverse executives, managers, and top employees.

In addition to her background in the coaching industry, Robertson has significant sales, human resources and talent management leadership experience. She has designed and implemented several HRIS systems, talent transformation initiatives and has executed several succession plans.
