We partner leaders and their teams with a combination of coaching, facilitating and supportive challenging which enable them to have the conversations that matter, make important decisions and achieve bold breakthroughs. It’s as much about the human factor as it is about strategy. Based on the principle that behaviors precede results, we guide teams through a series of interventions where they focus on understanding themselves and how they relate to fellow team members. The progress, and where necessary transformation in the way the team works together, is significant in achieving those bold breakthroughs.

The short answer: Because we are human! By navigating the dynamics at play between team members and partnering teams to manage those dynamics, we enable the team to bring the best out of each other and forge an identity that comes from what they achieve together.
We create a conducive space to support team members to tap into their courage, be vulnerable and build TRUST – the foundation of any effective team. This cultivates a culture of productive debate where team members can confidently discuss tough decisions with major consequences and then get clear and collective commitment. Teams are then enabled to build ownership, clarity and purpose and align on key strategic priorities and the execution of big moves. Simultaneously, the team members develop shared leadership as they hold each other to account. When we appreciate our differences and bring them together for optimal value and when everyone moves and executes in the same direction, that’s when the team becomes unstoppable. What becomes tangible is their rejuvenated collective energy and a laser sharp focus on RESULTS.
Team Coaching is our core strength. We spend significant and valuable time with leadership teams unpacking and addressing a range of issues. The results speak for themselves. Coaching a whole team, together and apart, over a planned and articulated period of time brings those breakthroughs to the team, that transform the wider business.
In the banking space, our client’s EXCOM transformed over a period of 6 months into an effective “team of teams”. Cohesion, synergy and employee engagement improved, with the bank then achieving its highest revenues in the 12 months which followed.
In the automotive sector, our client’s management team developed a strong team identity whilst developing their strategy which was effectively communicated and tracked. The management team succeeded in creating a culture where employees work effectively within teams and across teams. Strategy bought into. Strategy cascaded. Strategy delivered.
