What We Offer

Team Coaching is a facilitated, structured process that helps a team improve how it works together—not just what it produces. Using principles from I/O psychology, behavioral science, and systems thinking, team coaching focuses on:

  • Strengthening communication and collaboration

  • Improving problem-solving and decision-making

  • Building psychological safety

  • Increasing accountability and trust

  • Navigating conflict constructively

  • Clarifying team purpose and shared goals

Team coaching goes beyond traditional training or team-building by providing ongoing, real-time support as the team learns new ways of working together.

  • You may benefit from team coaching if your team is experiencing:

    • A major organizational change

    • A new leader or a shift in team structure

    • Growth or expansion

    • Persistent relational tension

    • Decision bottlenecks

    • Staff complaints or morale issues

    • Need for increased cross-unit collaboration

    • Siloed communication

    • Cross-department friction

    • Lack of clarity in decision-making

    • Team turnover or burnout

    • Trust breakdowns

    • Complaints escalating unnecessarily

    • Unclear roles, expectations, and authority

    • Reactive rather than proactive communication

  • Team coaching improves both performance and the human experience of work. Benefits include:

    1. Increased Trust & Psychological Safety

    Teams become more open, honest, and willing to share ideas or concerns early—before they escalate into conflict.

    2. Better Decision-Making

    Teams learn when to decide independently, collaborate with peers, or elevate decisions to leadership.

    3. Improved Communication

    Clearer communication norms reduce misunderstandings, duplicated work, and frustration.

    4. Stronger Accountability

    Teams learn to hold each other responsible in a supportive, constructive way.

    5. Higher Engagement & Retention

    Employees are more motivated when they feel heard, supported, and included.

  • Organizations often see measurable improvements such as:

    Operational ROI

    • Faster decision-making

    • Reduced time spent managing conflicts

    • Fewer escalations to managers/directors

    • Increased efficiency of cross-functional work

    Financial ROI

    • Lower turnover (cost savings per employee can range from $30k–$50k)

    • Reduced absenteeism

    • Improved productivity

    • More effective meetings and use of time

    Cultural ROI

    • Teams that collaborate rather than compete

    • More innovation and solution-oriented thinking

    • Stronger alignment with organizational values

    • Increased trust in leadership

  • Coaching is not a luxury, it is a strategic imperative for organizations looking to thrive in the face of constant change and uncertainty while incorporating values of continuous improvement and growth. Including everyone in coaching fosters inclusivity and sends that message that every employee matters.

    Coaching helps teams transform by channeling their combined strengths to create renewed agreements around coaction and improve their ability to solve problems together.

The Team Coaching Process

Initial Discovery Session

We meet with the sponsor or leader to dive into why there is a need for coaching and how it is impacting the organization.

Team Surveys and Assessments

We elicit input from the team to gather subjective and objective information and perspectives to deepen understanding of the issues within the team.

Team Coaching Proposal

We provide a detailed plan for coaching the team based on the team’s unique needs, with options for scope (typically 3-6 months) and add-on optional workshops.

Bi-weekly or Monthly Team Coaching

Team coaching begins with creating alignment: reviewing the survey data, making shared agreements, and beginning to set team goals. Conducted in-person or via Zoom.

Progress Checkpoints with Leadership

Real-time feedback and design between the coach and leadership, with one-on-one coaching for the leader.

Final Review & Sustainability Plan

The goal of team coaching is that the leader and team become high functioning, collaborative, and sustainable
