TEAM Coaching

Who is it for?

Teams exist to create value, beyond the sum of its individual parts. This coaching is for teams that want to be the best version of themselves as a collective, sharing and using their diverse backgrounds and experiences to build unbreakable cohesion. If you’re a team looking to increase your effectiveness together and within your organization, this is for you.

How long is it?

Our work with teams ranges from 3 to 6 months, which includes extensive work to discover and examine shared goals, gathering feedback from across the organization, and regular Team Coaching sessions to discover and think through together what’s most important for the team at that moment.

What will we accomplish?

In Team Coaching, we focus and work on the team as a whole versus the individual parts. The “team is the client”. First, we’ll work to understand the shared goals of Team Coaching - this will be our north star. Over the engagement, we’ll support your team, working with the leader and each team member to understand what obstacles and challenges we face in getting to where we want to be.

We’ll build skills in giving and receiving feedback, understand culturally how the team fits and wants to thrive within the organization, and put energy and action into delivering the higher value contribution the team wants.
