ABOUT CALHOUN CONSULTING
Engage. Persuade. Inspire.
The triple crown of effective communication and our three favorite verbs. It's Calhoun's mission to help clients win more business, expand existing relationships, and build leadership bench strength - all through the lens of successful communication strategies.
We start by asking questions.
We dig deep to understand your specific market, business challenges, company culture, and objectives before we ever
set foot in a training room, virtual or otherwise. We talk with leadership and team members, study org charts, and review existing marketing materials. Heck, if you'll let us, we'll even check out your old high school yearbook just to be certain we're putting together the right solutions for you and your company.

OUR COACHING APPROACH
Always Engaging. Always Challenging. Always Actionable.
Since 1995, Calhoun has been known for delivering straight-forward, specific feedback that coaxes the best from people. In every interaction, we work hard to establish a collaborative environment that encourages positive risk-taking. Our motto: Stretch! Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Original Content. Practical Application.
We take pride in our research, and it serves as the foundation for the content we create. But we understand that tangible solutions matter more. We distill best-practice information down to its most useable core and share it with you. Calhoun delivers action-now-coaching so your team can start applying new skills right away.
Proven Coaching Techniques. Sustainable Results.
Real-time coaching, video playback with critique, 360 Surveys, and live observation are just some of the coaching methods we use to develop habits that stick. Calhoun sessions are designed to challenge even the most seasoned professionals.
We keep the focus on PEOPLE, NOT PROCESS. Because we know that authentic dialogue, genuine curiosity, and follow-through always win the day.
