We understand the biggest cost of a team coaching project is often the time required of the team members. That is why we invest a lot of time prior to getting everyone in the room, preparing, and creating a bespoke journey that will drive results. The team members and the leader are interviewed individually. The sessions are designed according to their needs rather than a cookie-cutter approach. 

Resolving critical work challenges during the sessions is one of the key focuses. These sessions are not a time-out from work, they are advancing the work. By creating more alignment you will save a lot of time and money from wrong decisions, conflict, losing valuable team members to other companies, endless back-and-forth communication, or non-communication. Our clients repeatedly tell us that team coaching was one of the best investments they made in their business.

We have the first two team coaching sessions in two consecutive days. We aim to finish at about 16:00 so that you can do a fun activity after the first day of team coaching. We recommend having the third and the fourth team coaching sessions within 3-6 months after the first two.

They can be either. Our team coaches are experts in coaching virtually, and they can deliver the same results no matter the location. It is simply a matter of preference for you and your team. If you decide to have the sessions in person, we will ask you to book a space away from your office (it works a lot better) and also finance the coaches’ travel expenses.

We want to ensure that your team coaching program is a success. Research has shown that meeting size is negatively related to attendee involvement. It is more stressful to speak up in front of a big group, so participants’ don’t. They become more guarded and less forthcoming. Bain Consultancy found that you lose 10 per cent of decision-making efficiency for every attendee you have in your meeting above seven. 

During the TeamPath program, we overcome these challenges by having two team coaches who can observe the more complex team dynamics and raise the awareness of the team regarding those. They can encourage interaction, and facilitate smaller breakout sessions. 

The coaches have the possibility to swap roles between practically guiding process and technology to active team observation and coaching. The dyad of coaches works as a team in all phases, which results into a robust in-depth understanding of the team and its needs. It’s a multiplier, because the coaches themselves bounce back to each other. The dyad of coaches is constructed of different coaching styles each adding unique value to the team.

At The Leaderpath, we have the 4D Framework™ which you can find in Caterina Kostoula’s book “Hold Successful Meetings – Penguin Business Expert Series. Our team coaching is also informed by other models, including the 5 Behaviors of a Cohesive Team by Patrick Lencioni, Organization and Relationship Systems Coaching (ORSC), Amy Edmondson’s psychological safety, and more. All our team coaches are accredited by the International Coaching Federation at the Professional Certified Coach (PCC) level or have a postgraduate degree in coaching. 

During the sessions, we will take the weight off your shoulders for a few days. You do not need to worry about facilitation, our experienced team coaches will guide the process, so you can unlock the insights and make progress towards your team goals.

Team-building activities are good to have some fun outside the day-to-day, but they rarely transform the relationships between the team members and the dynamic among the team. To achieve that, you need some honest conversations.  Also, often you return to the office more stressed as the work has piled up. This is not the case with our team coaching sessions as the teams actually solve long-standing issues during the sessions. They also feel stronger to face challenges and make difficult decisions once they are back at their desk.

Of course, TeamPath is a bespoke solution to the needs of your team, so we are happy to expand or shrink the program according to your needs. We do recommend though at least two days to start with so that you and your team have the time and the feeling of spaciousness to have some honest conversations that create big value for the organization.
