team coaching for a lasting organizational transformation
is your team stuck, disengaged, or looking for ways to level up?
When teams are uncertain, misaligned, or quietly frustrated, they become more focused on managing tension rather than moving the mission forward.
Team coaching creates space for teams to slow down, reconnect, and see and hear each other, leading to greater, more sustained impact.
is your team not… teaming?
As a leader, you may be asking yourself:
Why does this collaboration feel harder than it should?
What conversations is my team avoiding?
Why am I spending so much time fielding grievances or mediating conflict?
How do we improve when we’re already stretched thin?
When there’s disconnection on a team, there’s also an opportunity
team coaching can help your team:
slow down
share perspectives
build accountability
show up with integrity, and
have hard conversations
—all while working toward shared goals.
“We were a high performing team prior to the engagement—but we wanted to prepare our team for the onboarding of several new [team members]. Seeing our blind spots and how to leverage our strengths to set goals was really helpful. It was also great to hone in on the strengths of the group so we can lean on each other when necessary.”
— Team coaching client of Michelle Davis and Betsy Block through California State University, Sacramento
