Why coach the team—not just the individual?

Even world-class executives lose momentum when the leadership table drifts into silos, double agendas or decision gridlock. After twenty-plus years running multi-country companies I learned that culture moves at the speed of the senior team—fix that cadence and the rest of the organisation follows.

Common signals it’s time for team coaching:

• Strategy lives in decks, not behaviour
• Meetings circle rather than decide
• Department KPIs compete instead of align
• Rapid growth or M&A has reshuffled roles and trust

If two or more of those sound familiar, you’re in the right place.

My 4-Phase Sprint for C-Suite Alignment

The model is an extension of my Inside-Out Leadership™ framework—moving from individual identity to shared team identity before layering beliefs, behaviours and actions.

Executive Team Coaching systematically focusses on the following:

• Commitment that Inspires Results
• Contribution that Makes a Difference
• Increase Engagement & Commitment
• Enhance Team Awareness

• Open Inclusive Communication
• Team Chemistry / Team Fit
• Build Trust Among Team Members 
• Sense of Community & High Morale

• Creativity to Maximise Team Potential
• Effective Conflict Resolution
• Identify Blind Spots
• Responding vs Reacting to Change

Expected outcomes

• Sharp, shared priorities that translate into every calendar and budget
• Faster issue resolution—conflict becomes productive, not political
• A common language for feedback and accountability
• Clear ownership of cross-functional initiatives
• Renewed energy and trust that cascades throughout the company

Is this right for your team?

You’ll benefit most if:

• You are a CEO or COO leading a growth-stage or enterprise business
• Your executives own P&L but need stronger “One Company” mindset
• You’re prepared to model vulnerability and constructive feedback yourself

Frequently asked questions

How is success measured?
Together we set a handful of lead and lag indicators—typically decision speed, cross-functional project delivery and qualitative pulse-survey trust scores—then review them at each phase gate.

Do you use assessments?
Yes. I blend a short 360 interview protocol with one behavioural instrument (DISC, MBTI or our Growth-Gap Audit) to keep the data objective and actionable.

Can we start with a workshop only?
Absolutely. Many clients test the water with a one-day “alignment lab” before committing to the full sprint.
