Teams

Has your team just gone through a change, or are there changes about to take place in your team?

Are there diversity and inclusion challenges emerging?

Are you, as a leader, feeling stuck in unlocking the full synergic potential of an existing team?

Self-organized. Virtual. Remote. Hybrid. Cross-cultural. Distributed. Functional. Cross-Functional. Crisis. Investigation. Project. Leadership. Management Boards.

Whichever the flavor of structure and leadership, the most important people dynamics, the ones that ultimately make or break a team, are hiding from plain sight. They play out below the surface, at the group's psychological level, and they shift in times of disruptive change.

As a coach for leaders and teams, I can help you tap into the undertow, understand the deep challenges of the group, and transform degenerative team dynamics into healthy, regenerative ones, that enable the team to pivot swiftly through the changes into thriving mode, and to reach its full synergic potential.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

On a team journey, we work together with the entire group, as well as in one-on-one sessions.

We take the time to deeply understand what is in the Here and Now: we start from learning how the group looks like, what is its purpose, who is part of it, what are the roles and responsibilities, and what characterizes its culture; and then we zoom in to the dynamics and the struggles.

We brainstorm to explore multiple futures for the team, and question what if? For the exciting outlooks, we seek to understand what would get the team there. For the scary ones, we seek to understand what would get the team prepared.

And then the strategic work starts: we connect the dots, and find out what works, and what blocks.

With each step, there are technical tasks, and there are points of tapping into the undertow - this is where the coaching - one-on-one and with the whole group - takes place.

Where we find tools and frameworks that work for you, I teach you how they work, so that you can try to use them on your own in future challenges. You will hear, among others, about Design Thinking, Product Management, Transactional Analysis, Group Dynamics, Re-decision Therapy, Systemic Work, and Lean.

IS THIS THE RIGHT APPROACH FOR YOU AND YOUR TEAM?

You can find out in a free 30-minute introduction call, during which we will discuss your current situation and challenges more in depth. During this chat, I can answer all of your questions about the programs. From my end, I will seek to understand your needs, how the challenges relate to those needs, and how the general approach can be further tailored to best suit you.

We will also discuss any past consulting and coaching experiences you may have had, and, if applicable, what worked and what did not work for you.

After the introductory call, you take the time to reflect and to weigh the option of starting a program. You may immediately think "This is it!" or you may need more time to make a decision. Take your time! No matter how long it takes to come to a decision, the journey can only be successful if there is strong commitment on both sides.
