Thinking about your teams

You’re in the right place if…

Everyone is still coming to you to make all of the decisions, or dragging you into day-to-day issues!

Senior leadership team development

Senior leadership team development helps leaders shift from doing to leading, build trust and accountability, and focus on strategic goals through tailored coaching and activities.

Why might you need this:

The work you and your leaders do has gradually changed over time.
You now have people reporting to you that do, or should do, most of the delivery activities. But making that shift from doing to leading isn’t happening as well as it could.
You still have to get involved in a lot of the day-to-day stuff, and that means you can’t focus on leading the organisation in the way you need to.
Your leadership team discussions aren’t focusing on what will keep your organisation successful. You keep coming back to the same conversations without moving forward.

What it is:

Support to build a culture of trust and accountability within your leadership team interactions, whilst encouraging diverse views and personalities to have a voice.
Tools on how to bring a healthy balance of challenge and support – confronting your toughest challenges head-on whilst maintaining strong working relationships.
Developing the ability to look inwardly at what your organisation needs and outwardly to stay relevant and competitive. 
Constructive time together to help you lead with consistency, clarity and purpose.

How we do it:

We draw on our many years working at senior levels to partner with your leadership team and provide bespoke, impactful development and coaching.
We hold one-to-one interviews with your leaders to hear what matters to them about their work, what the strengths of the leadership team are and the areas that can be even better.
We collaborate with you to identify the key individual and team leadership development areas. We help you focus on what really matters for you.
We don’t just throw all the theory at you! We design activities that allow your leaders to develop through doing.
We’re dynamic and adapt our support as you might need us to.

Team development

Team development helps teams within your organisation to improve communication, collaboration, and performance through tailored coaching and workshops.

Why might you need this:

Collaboration isn’t happening as well as it could do, people aren’t fully contributing in meetings and maybe lots of unhelpful ‘side conversations’ are starting to happen.
You may have teams that are new, have grown or are experiencing change and you need them to be productive quickly.
Your teams may need to work and think in a different way to be more innovative or efficient.

What it is:

For teams to work together effectively, using an external team coach can have huge benefits.
A team coach doesn’t tell your people how to do their jobs!
Team development is about creating a space for people to come together to understand how to get the best out of each other. This includes thinking about communication, problem solving and connecting to the work you do as an organisation.
Just like any great sports team, time needs to be intentionally spent on how to reach high performance. This applies to your leadership team, delivery teams or the whole organisation.

How we do it:

We design bespoke team development programmes to ensure the support aligns with the business outcomes you’re looking for.
We stand side by side with the Team Lead to support them.
We ask your team members to provide input to help with the design and measurement of the impact of activities.
- Development activities could include:
- Engaging workshops with useful frameworks.
- Use of DISC© personality preference tools to explore strengths as individuals and teams.
- Peer-to-peer small coaching groups working on current challenges to build trust and effective collaboration.
- In the moment facilitation and coaching in the meetings and conversations in your workplace.
