Timothy Bentley, Principal
Timothy Bentley developed his specialty in executive development through two decades of work with senior personnel in the private and public sectors. His areas of expertise include helping clients strengthen their people skills and assisting executive teams to overcome barriers to productivity.
He guides executives and senior managers in reviewing their management practice, identifying perception gaps, and getting full advantage from their core competencies. His clients have ranged from multi-nationals like Glaxo Wellcome and Midas Muffler to software development firms you've never heard about but on whose products you rely.
Timothy's early experience of the challenges of team leadership and project management came as a producer/director with CBC-TV. He has written extensively about the coaching profession, and provides professional training for coaches.
His years of experience have convinced Timothy that the essential foundation for superior coaching outcomes is to begin with skillful, in-depth assessments. This focus on assessment led to the development of Panoramic Feedback, a 360-degree feedback instrument you can use on the Internet.

"I have a passion for collecting, distilling, and publishing the vital wisdom that fine managers have evolved over the years. That's why I coach, and that's why I write about leadership and business."

Quote:
"In a world where traditional 'female' values, like collaboration, trust, and the importance of relationships, are increasingly appreciated as effective business strategies, women face a curious dilemma. Must we still rely on the 'power-suit' mentality which first boosted us to positions of responsibility? Or can we trust that as women we have an increasingly valued contribution to offer today’s organization? Complex questions which I believe are leading women to look increasingly to coaching as a support in finding their own unique answers."
