Harness the knowledge economy of your teams to deliver superior results.
The main benefit of team coaching has been developing an awareness of each other needs, strengths and fears, preferred ways of working, communication and getting to know each other as people. We have shown vulnerability in front of each other, and this has created a strong bond within the team.
Team Coaching has given us clearer accountabilities and responsibilities within the team. We have improved connection, collaboration, empathy, strengthened relationships and improved the overall efficiency with our work. We are now working and performing as a team with a common objective, whereas before we were different individuals trying to achieve different goals.
I now understand my team better, their individual needs as well as my own. Understanding how I am perceived by my team has been the greatest contribution to my career and my leadership journey.
I love how Tim & Sarah play different roles in the sessions, to involve all the different types of personalities and individual needs. I love how they facilitate and guide us, but also give space and time for the team to drive the conversation and make decisions. They create a warm and safe environment where we feel really comfortable to open up and share with each other.

Overview
Is your business reaping the rewards from the diversity that exists within your team? Team Coaching has become a fast-growing area of investment for companies looking to see a high return on investment. Team Coaching improves productivity through focussing on team performance, based on the assumption that a team can be greater than the sum of its parts.
Today teams are needing to form, storm and perform faster than ever with collaboration widely agreed as a key ingredient. However, that assumes that individuals know how to collaborate effectively.
Our experienced coaches will provide structure, support & empowerment to your teams to allow them to learn, practice & integrate new behaviours over time. Team Coaching sessions can be used to further build on the deep connection and skills developed from our Team-Building and/ Leadership training programs. As a stand-alone or combined approach, Team Coaching leads to sustained results over time.
The sessions engage all team members in honest conversations, that enable our coaches to identify the team dynamics that might be leading to issues & poor performance within the team. By focussing on real & dynamic issues, sessions can deliver meaningful & timely benefits. Resulting in a far broader benefits than just the bottom line, seeing improved levels of morale, retention, reduced stress & burnout.
The Team Coaching process starts with discovery and assessment, building clear contracts & timelines with Leaders & Commissioners.

Our Approach
Our approach is based upon building a collaborative partnership, for the purpose of raising collective awareness, and building better understanding of the team’s internal and external systems.
This approach increases the team’s confidence in their ability to cope with current and future challenges. We focus on growing the team’s long-term capacity, enabling them to identity and co-create the value they represent for their stakeholders.
Our core aim is to grow a self-coaching culture where leadership to initiate change and challenge is distributed across the team. This culture will then continue long after the team coaching program is finished.

Starting with a team assessment through consultation with the Leader/Commissioner. A timeline, structure and contract of work is then agreed. Team Coaching programs typically comprise of 4-8 sessions,each of 2-3 hours in duration.
