Leverage the power of the team with team facilitation and coaching

TEAM: A team is a small number of people with complementary skills who are committed to common purpose, performance goals, and approach for which they hold themselves mutually accountable.

For those Bold Women Leaders that understand that their success lies in leveraging the talent of their people; developing their own bold leadership is only one piece of the puzzle.

Those leaders who make a concerted effort to leverage the power of the team, value differences and create a learning environment where team members are encouraged to collaborate and innovate will reach new heights of business performance.

Facilitated by professional coaches who are experts in team dynamics, expect your teams to align, engage and pull together as one strong team.

For Executives and Leadership Teams

TEAM COACHING

Team coaching supports capability and sustainable growth by simultaneously focusing on strengthening business and people leadership at the individual and team level e.g. setting direction, creating alignment throughout the organization, and building the commitment of everyone needed to accomplish organisational objectives.

In a team setting, the coaching client is the team as a whole rather than each of the executives in turn. The focus of the team coaching process is on bringing out the hidden dynamics of the group so that they can be managed in a safe environment. In the absence of conscious choices about these processes, they tend to become dominated by the power relationships among the members and the personality patterns of each of them.

Building on a Strategy or Vision Session, this 6-12 month coaching programme for the executive leadership team as a whole will fast-track their business results by:

 

  • Having greater alignment, co-operation and collaboration in strategy execution
  • Valuing differences – communciation and behavioral styles, cultural and gender differences
  • Understanding and resolving team behavioural norms
  • Building trust to support robust dialogue resulting in creativity, innovation and better decision making
  • Dealing effectively and constuctively with conflict

This programme helped us think through our challenges, figure out where we wanted to be and enthused everyone for the journey.

I now have an enthused and focused team as a result and we ae all very excited for the plans and vision that we now have for the year ahead – and a strategy for how that vision will be realised. Thank you for working with me to realise the workshop that the team needed, it was excellent.

“If only 30 years ago, I knew then what I know now, I’d have had a lot less stress and hassle! Now people are involved in addressing issues and because we all have a different ways of thinking we always come up with something better.

The results have been amazing. Our team is working so differently now, all our meetings are focused on the outcome. This takes time, but once you “get it” it is way more efficient. Heather Hamill
