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

“The work we have been doing together has been integral in enabling me to transform my practice as both a coach and a supervisor.”
Rebecca Stevens“What a lovely warm welcome we had from Elspeth and Gil. I felt genuinely supported and inspired to develop the next part of my life.”
My Next Chapter Alumni“I don’t know what I’d have done without your support and help over this past year.”
Dawn, Chippenham (Counselling)“Having supervision with Elspeth is the best professional decision I have made. I am challenged and stretched, nurtured and affirmed and I have gained so much both personally and professionally from her wisdom, which she shares so generously. It’s a privilege to say she is my supervisor.”
Gillian Richards, University Student Counselling“Elspeth is our ‘Go-To’ professional for dilemmas that we face in both our Counselling and Training Services and she has always helped us reach ethical resolutions.
Malini Sridhar, Executive Director, Parivarthan Counselling, Training and Research Centre, Bangalore“One would never think that in 52 hours, I could gain absolute clarity on what's important to me, what I want the next 3-5 years of my life to look like and the critical steps required to accelerate my journey to that ideal.”
My Next Chapter Alumni“Two days in which to step outside my life as it is and start to experience it as it will be.”
My Next Chapter Alumni“Gil has been incredibly easy to talk to, has a common sense approach and a great sense of humour. Gil’s coaching helps me reflect on what I do and why, and the impact this has on others. The sessions have inspired me to take quick action on certain points and have boosted both my confidence. Empowering – thank you Gil!”
