Welcome to the Newkirk Coaching Institute of SMI.
All of our programs are certified by the NCCCP.
We are a 25 year old company who uses virtual-learning and in-house coaching and consulting to refine executive and management softskills in building high performance workplaces.
We would like to bring your attention to a new direction in professional development and performance improvement - the workplace softskills programs of Systems Management Institute.
Research conducted by the Corporate-Higher Education Forum, a group consisting of top CEOs and university presidents, indicates that a gap exists between campuses and the workplace. For too long now, colleges and private training organizations have neglected workplace softskills. As a result, the essential skills and competencies that executives and managers desire in their employees have seriously eroded, if not completely disappeared.
The essential softskills and competencies include managing self, communicating, managing people and tasks, and mobilizing innovation and change. In important ways, these core competencies of effectiveness have become echoes of the past as schools and colleges focus on disciplinary or specialized learning while mostly ignoring the development of the core softskills required for success in the workplace.
While some authorities have encouraged academic institutions to foster workplace specific softskills in the college curriculum, Systems Management Institute has captured the power of the World Wide Web to provide such programs to all people anywhere who have the use of a PC and access to the Internet. In agreement with leaders in business and education, we support the development of a common language of competency-based education. Our programs exemplify this commitment.
