Team Coaching
Through highly interactive Team Coaching Journeys, we’ll support your people to build stronger connections, explore ways of working and foster effective, inclusive behaviours that positively impact team performance and deliver your business results. We may need to help you tackle underlying tensions, explore broader ‘system’ dynamics, and better understand each others’ preferences and particular needs.
Whatever the context, our team coaches will bring their wealth of experience, skills and insight, to design and facilitate a tailored and transformative team development programme.
What you get:
- Our energy, skills, challenge, authenticity and structure to support your team on their journey to high performance;
- A true team coaching approach, where we facilitate focused conversations with skill and care, building trust and psychological safety to create a strong foundation;
- A programme informed and designed through in-depth team discovery, tailored to your unique needs.
You delivered a fantastic Team Development Day for us .... I'm confident that with the information, skills and insights I gained, I can build stronger relationships and achieve better outcomes through the way I interact with others. Thanks very much to the team.

Insights Discovery
Insights Discovery
What is Insights Discovery?
At the very start of the self-awareness journey is Insights Discovery. A psychometric tool based on the psychology of Carl Jung, Insights Discovery is built to help people understand themselves, understand others, and make the most of the relationships that affect them in the workplace. Read more about Insights Discovery here.
The Insights Discovery methodology uses a simple and memorable four colour model to help people understand their style, their strengths and the value they bring to the team. We call these the colour energies, and it's the unique mix of Fiery Red, Sunshine Yellow, Earth Green and Cool Blue energies, which determines how and why people behave the way they do.
Who's it for?
Our Insights Discovery product is suitable for all levels and gives learners the foundation of self-awareness they’ll need to be successful at whatever they do; whether that’s developing themselves, working as part of an effective team, or leading others with authenticity.
Through Insights Discovery, individuals will gain a common language that has wide-ranging benefits, including connecting colleagues across geographical and cultural boundaries, and providing a safe platform for feedback conversations.
- It's suitable for organisations that have some or all team members working virtually
- It's great for those that prefer virtual delivery due to travel restrictions, global dispersion of teams, or for sustainability reasons
- It's ideal for those that have had to move to home-working due to the current crisis
Outcomes
Insights Discovery helps people understand themselves and their colleagues so that they can have more respectful, productive and positive working relationships, even across virtual boundaries.
- Individuals understand their own and others’ communication preferences
- They can connect better with their colleagues to improve collaboration
- They have a common language to help them overcome challenges and conflict
The overall experience was great ... on a personal and team level too. I believe it showed the team that we can express ourselves without feeling judged and we can work well together; each person has a positive role to play within the team.

Group Coaching
Group Coaching
Group Coaching offers a versatile way for individuals to experience the value of coaching and to learn through the use of powerful coaching models and techniques. It offers a highly effective approach to personal and professional development, and can be used to support groups of individuals in a number of areas, including:
- Leadership Development: Bringing together leaders with similar challenges or opportunities, to support and learn from each other, network, and leave with a practical toolkit and clarity of their next steps.
- Talent Development: Providing a safe and supportive space for individuals to come together to share and learn.
- Career Development: Providing peer to peer career coaching for those wanting to make the next move.
- Building Confidence and Resilience: Bringing together people with the shared aim of building their confidence and their ability to deal with setbacks.
- Organisational Change: Providing individuals either leading or experiencing change with the valuable opportunity to reflect on what is going on for them, understand their personal needs and build clarity on an appropriate way forward.
- Outplacement Support: Helping people leave the organisation in a way that is right for them, bringing together people in the same position to learn from and support one another.
Some of the benefits of Group Coaching:
- Affordability and scalability – it enables a group of people to be coached at the same time.
- Can be delivered online or in person.
- Bringing employees together from different parts of the business can increase cross-functional understanding and collaboration.
Group Coaching is different from Team Coaching, where the individuals in the team would typically work together with a shared goal or purpose.
