A number of
organizations have utilized Dr. Freeman's services as a Critical
Incident Debriefing / Anger
Management / Stress Management Coach. This extremely successful,
proprietary process
is viewed as an investment
in senior executives and key employees/associates. Dr. Freeman also
works with professional athletes, musicians and entertainers...along with domestic and
court-appointed situations.
The reasons for
investing in a valued key employee may vary. Most organizations that
introduce an employee to this process are sending the positive
message -- "We value you. We want things to work out so that you
can be the best at what you do...for a long time." In some
situations, this process
may be viewed as a last-ditch effort to salvage a stellar career
that has been interrupted by any of the following:

-- CRITICAL
INCIDENT DEBRIEFING --
Dr. Freeman specializes in situations
that may be referred to as CID -- "Critical
Incident Debriefings". The reason why they are
viewed as "critical" is because something verifiable has happened
(or a series of incidents) causing strain with the internal/external
relationships at the organization, perhaps resulting in the lowering
of morale and productivity.
In some cases
there is the reality of a lawsuit (or threat of such) because of
a recent critical incident or two. In other
cases this program is viewed as more of a "preventative maintenance"
measure. Dr. Freeman is skilled at customizing a process that fits
for each situation, whether a person comes voluntarily or
is court-appointed. Feeling resistant to engaging in a CID process like
this is quite normal for many clients, especially when told to do so.
Joel is comfortable working with clients who may feel that the
allegations are unjust.
Freeman specializes in working with
high-energy, high profile individuals who are looking for absolute
confidentiality.
A seasoned veteran, Dr.
Freeman is a State-certified professional counselor, prolific
author and world traveler to 50+ countries. He is multiculturally
astute.
For 19 years Dr. Freeman served as mentor/chaplain to the NBA
Washington Bullets/Wizards ('78-'98). He is virtually unshockable --
having coached a number of professional athletes, politicians and
high-powered senior executives over the years. Joel views each
person with utmost respect and dignity, regardless the situation.
We can use a customized online 360 Feedback
instrument. This is
designed to help provide a more complete understanding of the
strengths and vulnerabilities of the one being coached. The data
that emerges will give a more complete foundation for the entire
coaching process.
This process may be viewed as an effort to make someone more
"promotable" -- taking an "A" rated employee and
making him or her "A+". Or developing the interpersonal
skills of a technically competent key employee.
If you are an HR
person viewing this option for some key employees in your
organization, let's discuss ideas on how to roll out a program so
that will be viewed as a positive benefit. If done right, this
program can cause employees to clamor to be a part of it, rather
than be viewed as the dog with fleas -- "What's wrong
with him/her?"
