Peak Performance Group, Inc. (PPG), a consulting firm that, since 1987, has specialized in providing complete global solutions to integrate and optimize their clients' leadership capability, organizational effectiveness and human potential announced today that its new coaching service, Coaching for Project Management Executives, is particularly effective at times of transition, including promotion to a high level project management role, start up with a new company or in a new role, strategic or organizational change, or launch of a major project to meet organizational strategic goals.

According to Dr. Richard Maybury, CEO and President of Peak Performance Group, Inc., (PPG) "Our global clients have been asking us for coaching services aimed at Project Managers, combining aspects of PPG's executive leadership development with operational skill development unique to Project Managers. After surveying a number of our key clients, we have created an approach and methodology specifically focused on developing both people and technical abilities of Project Managers to lead in complex global environments. This is another way PPG has listened intently to our clients' needs and learned how to design services utilizing PPG's unique capabilities and intellectual property to better support our clients' long-term strategic business goals."

PPG's new coaching service has proven to clients that investing in their project management leaders has enabled them to show increased values in efficiency, effectiveness and market expansion/innovation.
