"Stephen
has worked extensively with companies who are committed
to building and retaining the leadership strength of
their organizations, and he brings our clients a compelling
blend of both practical and theoretical knowledge,"
said Derek S. Carter, VP of Corporate Relations for
JB Scott Search.
"It's one
thing to get senior-level diverse hires on-boarded;
retention is another thing entirely. That's where executive
coaching comes into play," said Sebastian. "A coaching
program that shifts leaders' developmental levels by
attending to individual, social, relational and environmental
aspects enhances the likelihood that the hire will be
successful -- and that the diversity hiring investment
will result in a positive ROI." Sebastian also noted
that executive coaching can also help companies develop
competence in working with future diversity hires, and
assist them in developing a solid diversity reputation.
Sebastian
was previously a principal learning consultant with
Allianz Life. He founded and was the integral leadership
coach for CorePath Coaching and Leadership Development.
He is a graduate of the prestigious New Ventures West
Professional Coaching Program in San Francisco. He has
a Bachelor of Science degree in accounting from Roosevelt
University/Chicago and an MBA in strategic management
from the University of Minnesota.
The company
also announced that it has re-launched its website,
www.jbscottsearch.com.
Carter noted that the site is easier to navigate, features
client testimonials by industry leaders, representative
search examples, and free diversity-related downloads,
including The Leading Factors for Successful Diversity
Programs.
