Is your team stuck in siloes and not seeing the bigger picture? Are they talking in circles, shackled by conflict, or playing too nice?

When teams work well, they make better decisions and out-perform individuals. Yet many teams — even those with high-performing members — struggle to meet that potential. It’s a struggle that burns time, energy, and money; that can damage relationships and  threaten business outcomes. That’s a high cost to pay.

If your team was working at its best, what would become possible? What business benefits would be realized? What difference would that make?

You don’t need another team building session. You don’t need more training. Team coaching is about meeting your team where they’re at and helping them make the shifts in perspective and behaviours that deliver results.

As a professional certified coach with over 30 years of business experience, I help teams:

• Emerge from their siloes and collaborate across domains
• Navigate cultural differences
• Have more productive conversations
• Dare to disagree
• Shift from tactical to strategic thinking
• Hold each other accountable
• Fulfill their team purpose and potential

Here’s what working together would look like.

Each team engagement follows a simple pattern, tailored to your needs.

• Chemistry: Before we start, let’s first assess the fit between what your team needs and what I have to offer. If a different intervention or coach would serve you better, I can provide recommendations.
• Contracting: If we decide to proceed, we’ll define the objectives for this engagement, agree on roles and responsibilities, and set the foundation.
• Discovery: What do we need to know and how will we collect that information? If needed, we could use a team assessment, interviews, or other forms of research to gain more clarity.
• Coaching: At the heart of our engagement will be inquiries, exercises, and experiments informed by what we’re discovering and tailored to the team’s needs and objectives.
• Review: To close, we’ll assess where the team is now, and what’s next.

–Beatrice Mateyo, executive director, Coalition for the Empowerment of Women and Girls

“Team members were able to recognize their strengths and the importance of their contribution to our organization. They realized that everyone matters, and that individual failure would result in the organization failing as a whole.”

–Hazel Kantayeni, project manager, CARE Malawi
