IGNITE THE SPARK IN YOUR TEAM
Does your team lack motivation? Does "we" feel more like "me"?
You're all working hard but it doesn't feel like a team effort. And certainly not like fun.
Do you think the team could take more ownership and responsibility for their own performance?
Or...
Do you think you're pretty good as a team? You get on well and you are a decent team.
But you don't just want to be good. You want to be great!!
What would you say if the team was brilliant? How would it feel to be a Dream Team?
A team full of energy and inspiration, that takes responsibility and ownership. A team that works. Where you achieve great results, with a sense of ease.
That would be great, wouldn't it? A team with a Spark!
Team coaching helps you bring your team to the next level. It is different from team building or training. It's team development, with the team in charge.

FAQ'S
WHAT IS TEAM COACHING?
Team coaching is not the same as training (i.e. teaching/ telling a team what to do). It's helping the team to take ownership and responsibility for their own development. Very much putting them in charge. Making the team aware of patterns on how they work together and giving the them the choice: will we continue like this or do we want to make a change? Through getting to know and trying out new behaviour, the team experiences the effects. Ultimately it’s the team itself that takes the responsibility to make a sustainable improvement.
WHO IS IT FOR?
Team coaching can deliver the goods for all sorts of teams. When a new team is being formed and needs to hit the ground running. Or a key team is not working as effectively as it could, and the team leader and members agree that they want to do better. A long-established team has lost its sparkle and wants to regain it. Or a top team wants to become a role model for the rest of the organisation.
Again, what's important is that the team itself takes the responsibility and decides where it wants to go.
DOES TEAM COACHING WORK WITH VIRTUAL/ REMOTE TEAMS?
Yes! Your virtual or remote team can be a dream team!! We'll simply take Team Coaching online. Tried and tested. And succeeded!
The rules of being an effective team apply as much to virtual teams as face to face ones. And remote meetings definitely can be effective and fun! You could compare remote team work with an e-reader: it may initially feel not as good as a real paper book, but when you look at the many advantages (small, you can read in the dark, lightweight, it's many books in one) it might actually be better!
THE RESULTS
And the results? I hear you ask. Well... The team achieving the goals they themselves formulated (tick). The elephant in the room no longer there. It has been discussed and dealt with (tick). Clear agreements and agreed ways of working, to which everybody sticks. And ways to address each other if not (tick). Focus (tick). A positive flow, a joy to work together. AND business results (tick, tick, tick).
I would call that a Spark!
IS TEAM COACHING THE ANSWER FOR ALL TEAMS?
The short answer is "no". Team coaching isn’t always transformational. If there is no desire in the team for collective improvement, then the impact will be very limited. Equally, the team leader needs to see that change involves them as well. That's why I always ask the team explicitly for commitment. And they have the option to say no. That's OK.
So yes, a bit of courage and being open to change is required. For the team and their leader.
SHOW ME THE MONEY! (WHAT DOES IT COST?)
Have a look in the "Team Coach options" section, for the different options on offer, including what it costs.

For Face to Face (F2F) sessions I keep a maximum of 12 team members.
For online sessions the group can be maximum 9 members.
Bigger is possible but then sessions might need to be longer. So for bigger groups: let's talk.
