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

My Next Chapter Alumni“Insightful, supportive, challenging, witty, everything one could look for in a supervisor! Elspeth really helps me to review my own casework constructively and gives me the opportunity to offload my thoughts and feelings in a safe environment.
