Team Effectiveness Coaching
Do your teams struggle with any of the following?
- Poor or toxic communication patterns (blaming, defensiveness, disengagement, undermining)
- Ineffective sharing, partnering (working in silos)
- Unproductive or low team morale or low positivity
- Conflict avoidance or poor conflict resolution
- Low creativity, productivity or team synergy
- Role confusion or poorly occupied roles
- Missed sales targets
- Inability to manage change
- Complaints of too little time in the day
- Complaints of working hard yet progress is slow
What does it take to Align Teams so that true creative synergy occurs?
It takes a shift from relating to a bunch of individuals in a group to seeing the group as a single integrated whole – A System. It takes moving beyond Emotional Intelligence (relationship with oneself) and Social Intelligence (relationship with others) to Team Intelligence (where the focus is on the entire group or team or system).
An overview of Team Intelligence would be that it’s not about “Me”, and it’s not about “Me and You”, it’s about “Us” in this team and what is trying to happen. When Team Intelligence is high performance excels, it more than excels, individuals have fun, people experience an increased sense of joy, creativity is enhanced and innovation flourishes.

What is the Experience of Team Alignment?
We have all had an experience of being on a sport’s team or on a project team where individual egos were melded into something much greater and true synergy occurred. That “being in the zone together”, that, all-pulling for a shared purpose, that positive energy and fun is the experience of high Team Intelligence.

We use innovative models and adult learning principles in our programs to align teams and foster a strong foundation for growth, an environment of forward moving communication and a unified commitment to collaboration.
