Team coaching
Turn your goals into reality
Helping teams do great things
True breakthroughs come through teamwork. But many teams struggle under the pressures of constant disruption and change, while being expected to maintain business as usual.
You might recognise some of the following symptoms:
- Failing to meet objectives
- Different views around vision and strategy
- Ineffective use of time and resources
- Insufficient or poor quality decisions
- Conflict within the team or with stakeholders
Helping organisations perform and improve
The senior leadership team is the lifeblood of an organisation. Without strong leadership an organisation can struggle to determine a clear strategy, create a positive culture and lead performance and continuous improvement.
This can be especially challenging following a buyout/merger or when you are trying to find new ways of working. There are multiple transactional tasks to complete. As well as key questions to answer around purpose, roles, KPIs and stakeholder management.
If you don’t find the time for the important conversations they can easily become major issues. Team coaching helps organisations to:
- Refocus and refresh their purpose, vision and strategy
- Assess how a leadership team is working, within itself and with stakeholders
- Refine roles, responsibilities and team relationships
- Agree the organisational culture needed to achieve the strategy
- Determine and implement the behaviour needed to succeed and grow

Stephen, Wiltshire (Counselling)“I felt totally inspired by you and your presentation and it has ignited something in me that has lain dormant for several years.”
Training client“One of Gil’s strengths is being able to get beyond the detail and help me gain new perspectives through coming at what I present from a totally different angle. He has been able to help me identify patterns in the way I work and to challenge my often unconscious associated assumptions and beliefs.”
Rebecca Stevens“Elspeth is inspirational in her approach and in her way of working. Right from the beginning, Elspeth was clear in co-creating a space for myself and my practice to develop in the way it has. I cannot speak more highly of the level of professionalism and realism that Elspeth delivers in supervision.”
