We empower teams to learn, adapt, and excel—both in the short term and for sustainable future success.  

Our Approach 

Defining a compelling vision

We guide teams in creating a clear and inspiring picture of their ideal future—what success looks like from the perspective of customers, colleagues, and stakeholders.

Assessing the current state

We help teams evaluate their strengths and existing enablers while identifying obstacles that may be limiting their performance and impact.

Coaching for performance

We embolden teams in translating their aspirations into actionable steps through a
co-created program of coaching.

The Team Coaching Journey

We know it takes months, not days to build new habits. We partner with teams over 6-9 months to move them towards their desired outcomes and to develop their self-coaching capabilities.

  • Initial meetings and context gathering.

  • A team ‘chemistry’ session with the coach(es) and information from us on what to expect from team coaching and what it takes to make it successful.

  • Exploration to grow the team’s awareness of their potential and opportunities for learning and change. Can include interviews with team members and stakeholders, team psychometrics or assessments.

  • The team makes sense of the discovery data and we equip them with the tools to establish a clear team ‘development agenda’ with outcomes and measures of success. The work on team foundations begins!

  • We provide targeted insights, frameworks and practical tools to support the team’s development agenda. We help the team to embed their foundations; work through any dynamics which emerge; to better understand the broader organisational system; and to develop team reflexivity and agility.

  • We act as ’agents of awareness’ to help the team pause, reflect and learn in real time during their regular business meetings.

  • Time to celebrate successes and integrate the learning.

What do teams gain?

It feels better ‘inside’ the team AND ‘outside’ the team: colleagues, customers and other key stakeholders notice a difference in how the team show up. 

Typical outcomes teams achieve include:

  • A clear purpose and aligned priorities

  • Stronger relationships, deeper trust, and the ability to navigate healthy tension

  • More effective decision-making and a culture of shared accountability

  • Stronger stakeholder awareness and alignment

  • Greater capacity to manage complexity and uncertainty

  • The ability to self-coach

How is team coaching different to other ‘team’ work?

  • Coaching is a developmental process that focuses on team growth through inquiry, reflection, and goal-setting. As coaches, we partner with the team to build awareness, ownership, and long-term capability. In contrast, facilitation is about guiding a group through a specific process—like a workshop, meeting, or planning session—ensuring participation, clarity, and outcomes. A facilitator maintains neutrality and focuses on how the group works, rather than what they achieve. We will, of course, use facilitation to enable your team to navigate certain situations, but our focus is always on building sustainable self-coaching habits so that the team can continue to thrive long-term.

  • Team coaching is an ongoing, developmental process that supports a team in improving how it works together over time. It focuses on deeper dynamics—like communication, trust, accountability, and collective leadership—helping the team grow in capability and performance. Team building, on the other hand, typically involves one-off activities or events designed to boost morale, strengthen relationships, or provide a break from routine. While team building can enhance camaraderie, coaching drives sustained behavioral change and long-term impact.

    Some of the exercises you’ll experience will have team building elements—but our team coaching goes beyond the exercise to improve how your team functions.

  • While both approaches support growth and development, team coaching and group coaching focus on different dynamics. Team coaching works with an intact team—people who share common goals, responsibilities, and outcomes. The focus is on how the team functions as a system, improving collaboration, decision-making, and collective performance.

    Group coaching, in contrast, brings together individuals who may not work together day-to-day but share a common theme or development goal. It focuses on individual growth within a shared learning environment.

    Ultimately, team coaching strengthens how a team works together.

No one can whistle a symphony.  
It takes a whole orchestra to play it.
