Maybe they can’t find their own way through their challenges, or perhaps they don’t know exactly what they need to do to find the right path so they can reach their goals
TEAM COACHING IS WORKING WITH A WHOLE, INTACT TEAM SO THAT THEY CAN FIND THE RIGHT PATH THEY NEED TO WALK.
Coaching is completely bespoke, suited to each individual team, but typically we coach what we call the ABC of teams:
Teams that are probably doing things well, but they need to find the extra edge because they are ambitious to reach even greater heights than they are currently achieving.
Often, teams are experiencing some form of breakdown. Broken relationships, poor communication, conflict, lack of clarity – or all of these to some degree.
Teams often face changing circumstances. Change in leadership, membership, strategic direction, location, rapid growth or shrinkage… all of which are inherently tricky situations for teams.

We do not have a ‘one size fits all’ approach. All our coaching is bespoke and depends on the situation the client team is in when we engage with them. We use our own 5A model to coach the team:
Awareness is the greatest agent for change. Often teams have a level of awareness around their issues already but aren’t talking about the elephant in the room. They also sometimes can’t see what they need to, so the first stage is to make the team fully conscious and aware of all the challenges and concerns to be addressed during the coaching.
Once the team has consciously and intentionally worked through the issues at hand, then the coach works to help bring the team together as an aligned unit. This is especially powerful when there are silos and divisions within a team. An aligned team can be unified behind a common desire to move forward.
Once alignment is reached, the team co-creates a meaningful, concrete action plan. The fact that they come up with this themselves rather than being told what to do is tremendously powerful. The actions are relevant, concrete behavioural practices that the team identify as essential to the change that they desire.
Because the team have worked through the previous steps, they have a plan that they have created themselves. The coach cements this plan within the team so that every member is committed and clear on what they and everyone else needs to do. The true power of going through the coaching experience is for the team to hold each other highly accountable to the plan because they have created it, and because commitment has been proactively secured during the coaching.
Once the team is aware of what’s happening, then the coach can manage a process that guides the team through addressing it. This means getting things out in the open, having conversations and exploring the problem. The coach is there to facilitate honest, respectful and productive dialogue without letting it be a negative or pointless exercise.

The coaching we do works for Five key reasons:
We use a highly respected, tried & tested team coaching methodology that is accredited to the International Coaching Federation (ICF) called ORSC™ – Organisation & Relationship Systems Coaching. This ensures quality and gives you the peace of mind that you are not receiving substandard coaching.
We coach fully intact teams where all members are present in the room. This means all voices can be heard and commitment to actions agreed. Accountability to future plans from all team members is secured in person during the coaching which makes it less likely that commitments are avoided or broken.
Because every team and its challenges are unique, our job as your team coach is to help you to find the right answers to the particular issues and concerns that you face. Your coach is your partner rather than consultant or trainer; The true power of team coaching is that your coach works with your reality, and not with a ‘one size fits all’ manual.
Too many interventions don’t make it out of the training room. One of the core features of the coaching process is to get the team to create their own action plan that they commit to as a whole unit. This plan includes everything the team members themselves identify as necessary to make the changes required to take them from A to B.
Coaching works because it is an ongoing process and not a one-off occasion. Having a coach who will be returning for follow up sessions will hold your team accountable and continue to work with you through the process. Coaching involves building on the outcomes of each session as the team’s existence and reality changes.
