CONVERSATIONS THAT CREATE CONNECTION
Team coaching and facilitation for teams that aren't working as well as they could
You've got good people. They're just not working as well as they could together, and people feel it in every meeting: the things that don't get said, the things that get said afterwards and the results that suffer.
She'll come back to you within 24 hours.
Does this sound familiar?
"Everyone's polite in the meeting, but the real conversations happen in the car park."
"Since the restructure, it's been very us and them."
"Nobody tells me what's going on until there's a big problem."
Stop, collaborate and listen
How we can help
Most team problems come down to how people work together day to day. We help teams look at that honestly, and agree for themselves what they'll do differently in future.
Team coaching
A series of sessions with the whole team, spread over a few months. Each one builds on the last, so people have time to try things out in between and come back to talk about what's working and what's getting in the way. This is important because because change will take more than one day.
Facilitation
A single session, away day, or offsite facilitated by an objective expert so everyone can take part, including the team leader. It's useful when a team needs to reset after changes or work through things that are keeping them stuck.
What we often work on
Team dynamics
How the team works together, who speaks up, who doesn't, and what gets in the way or causes friction.
Collaboration
Working well across roles, sites and teams, without the "us and them".
Team communications
Encouraging the real conversations to happen, even when that's uncomfortable.
Team contracts and agreements
The team leaves with a written agreement they've created themselves, setting out how they'll work together and strategies to manage when things get tricky in the future.
What are your team challenges?
Tell us what's happening in the team and we'll shape some sessions around it. We can also add DISC profiles for the whole team, and if things have tipped into conflict, mediation might be a better place to start.
When teams work well together, high performance follows.
