Small Group Coaching
Have you ever had a team full of talent that just wasn't a talented team? Is the C-suite in your company a war zone?
Just as individual coaching is one of the single most cost-effective things that can be done to optimize one person's performance, small-group coaching will work miracles with a dysfunctional or underperforming team or a task group.
In fact, effective small-group coaching is what got me into the coaching profession in the first place. You see, I was part of an executive team in an engineering firm that had just been acquired by a global company. To say we didn't see eye-to-eye was an understatement! Every meeting was a dog fight, every project a cause for in-fighting.
A skilled pair of team coaches worked with us for a couple of months and the changes wrought by their gentle but persistent guidance were remarkable. I won't pretend that we became best friends, but each of us did learn to get out of our own way when dealing with the others, we better understood each others' legitimate wants and needs, and we learned constructive ways of engaging even when the stakes were high.
I have done a lot of small-group coaching, and have a reputation for bringing immediate, significant, and sustainable change to small-group interactions. Part interview, part training, part group interaction, part one-on-one work, and part facilitation, my approach is well-grounded in research-validated practices, and like the rest of my practice, always evidence-based.
