specialist coaching for high performing teams
Unlocking the ultimate competitive advantage.
We’re on a mission to change team development, radically and forever.
We’re raising the bar on effective teamwork.
Because teams matter, now as much as ever.
In the current climate, our most urgent problems will be solved, keenest challenges overcome, and brightest opportunities realised not by the lone rockstar leader or superstar performer, but by THE TEAM.
The organisation knows this and is responding, hiring the best talent and investing in the best training. Yet teams that should be crushing it … are regularly falling short of their potential. Why?
Effective teamworking is as complex and challenging as it is vital.
Group dynamics, divisive politics, power struggles and internal/external conflict present often-insurmountable barriers to successful collaboration and teaming.
Teams must raise the bar. So must those who lead, support, mentor and coach them.
The key challenge: most teams, most of the time, revert to type. The critical flaw: TRADITIONAL METHODOLOGY.
Reverting to type: the limitation of traditional team development
Traditional team development has its place. But ultimately: it’s limited and limiting.
We’ve all attended team development events that have been enriching and useful in the moment, only to be exposed as little more than a short-term fix.
Most teams, most of the time, revert to type, forgetting their learnings, neglecting their working agreements, and failing to hold each other to account.
The flaw is in the methodology.
The major dysfunctions and common challenges of teams are “managed out” by skilled facilitators, allowing traditional curriculums to be delivered, unencumbered.
The away-day is reported to be a success. The feedback is positive. But … remove the facilitator, and the team’s processes break down, again … and again.
To realise a team’s full power, purpose and potential, we must work with what’s real, work beneath the surface, and be willing to trust the team to discover its own solutions.

What’s needed is more than a facilitated workshop
The upper echelons of team performance demand something far-beyond a traditional approach.
The kind of high-impact, long-term performance shift the organisation is looking for from its mission-critical teams comes only from direct and audacious challenge, undaunted accountability and an approach that dares to venture into the murky depths of team dynamics, politics and power.
That’s more than a workshop.
What’s needed is a new philosophy
for how we engage, develop and support highly effective teams

Not finance. Not strategy. Not technology. It is teamwork that remains the ultimate competitive advantage, both because it is so powerful and so rare.

Creating teams that WORK
Unlocking the ultimate competitive advantage
Infinitely more than a re-imagining of traditional team development
We coach the team as a team in creative and dynamic partnership
We coach the team as a team in creative and dynamic partnership
Our team coaching philosophy is about partnering with the team as a team to surface collective awareness, elicit team-generated solutions, and promote shared ownership and accountability.
We have achieved this repeatedly through a co-creative and dynamic process that supports and enables the high-performing team to function as a single entity that is more than the sum of its parts.
We stand apart from consulting, training and facilitation in a number of crucial ways. Chief among these differentiators is our focus on team process over task content.
