The Leadership Team Coaching Program is developed for all of us who spend so much of our working life living in teams, dependent on teams to get our work done, connecting with and through other teams, developing and evolving the teams we lead and coach.

An organization is a living organism. Companies dont' have ideas, only people do. And it is the interations between and among people from which innovation, insight and value emerge. Leadership is about creating the conditions in which those are more likely to proliferate.

A great team both captures and expands the capacity and ability of every individual that contributes to it. It is in working with and for each other that we find and grow the best of ourselves.

With our Leadership Team Journey, we address important questions such as:

• How to create teams that function at more than the sum of their parts?
• How do we enable teams to learn and evolve?
• How can each team member be enabled by the team to achieve much more than they could by just working in parallel with others?
• How can we develop team meetings that we look forward to, are a joy to attend and leave us more focused, energized and connected than before we turned up?
• How do teams generate new thinking together, rather than just exchange the thoughts that the team members already know?
• How do teams align, so that the team members can connect with the team's stakeholders in a way that represents the whole team?

​The program is based on Peter Hawkins'  5 disciplines of effective teams

"Being a leader changes everything.
Before you are a leader, success is all about you.
It 's about your performance, your contributions.
It's about getting called upon and having the right answers.
When you become a leader, success is all about growing others.
Your success as a leader comes not from what you do
but from the reflected glory of the people you lead."

                                                                                      - Jack Welch

Executive coaching is designed to help facilitate professional and personal development to the point of individual growth, improved performance and contentment. Most important, the coach attempts to stimulate the leaders self-discovery by posing powerful questions and/or proposing assignments that may take the form of "thought experiments" with written product or "field experiments" which are actions to try in the real world that may result in experiential learning and development of new approaches to situations.

Specific professional goals include:

• career transition
• interpersonal and professional communication
• performance management
• organizational effectiveness
• managing career and personal changes
• developing executive presence
• enhancing strategic thinking
• dealing effectively with conflict
• building an effective team within an organization.

Conflict coaching focuses on assisting individuals to improve their competency in conflict management.

It is a dynamic, practical and productive process in which individuals build their capacity to develop creative and constructive ways to handle conflict and resolve disputes that negatively impact on either their professional or personal life.

Conflict coaching combines both dispute resolution and coaching principles. One of the major premises of conflict coaching is that the opportunity for growth and learning exists in any situation.

Conflict Coaching is a confidential and voluntary process in which a coach works with the conflict partners to:

Examine their conflict management style
Gain insight into how conflict impacts on them
Examine the drivers of conflict and how to mitigate their impact
Increase their effectiveness at resolving disputes
Build confidence in handling conflict
Prepare for anticipated disputes
Improve communication skills
Enhance conflict management skills

The Conflict Coach is value driven and offers all parties involved the space for values.
