Problem 1 — “I’m capable, but something inside me is getting in the way.”
Chris repeatedly works around:
- negative inner dialogue
- lack of confidence
- fear and judgement
- self-doubt
- overthinking
- limiting personal narratives
- lack of self-awareness
- difficulty taking courageous action
- being stuck despite knowing intellectually what to do
His approach is explicitly about shifting the client’s thinking, narrative and possibilities rather than telling them what to do.
Problem 2 — “I’m leading people, but I’m not getting the performance, alignment or conversations I need.”
Chris works with:
- leaders at different levels
- leadership teams
- team dynamics
- communication
- trust
- collaboration
- performance
- emotional intelligence
- accountability
- team connection
- leadership development
Team coaching specifically focuses upon; improving communication, trust, collaboration, resilience, performance, engagement and retention.
“The leader’s internal mindset becomes an organisational problem”.
A CEO who says “My team aren’t accountable”, may actually have a problem with “I don’t have the conversations I need to have with my team.”
And a leadership team that says “Communication is poor” may actually have a problem with trust, avoidance, conflict or psychological safety.
I help leaders and leadership teams have the conversations, build the trust and create the accountability needed for better performance.
Problem 3 — “I know what I need to do, but I’m not consistently doing it.”
His coaching philosophy adopts the following cycle of improvement:
insight → decision → action → feedback → adaptation → new habit.
He knows you do not buy “insight”, you buy:
- changed behaviour
- better decisions
- better leadership
- improved performance
- increased accountability
- retention
- engagement
- Execution
I help people turn insight into the behaviours and habits that actually change performance.
What is Team Coaching, exactly?
Team Coaching elevates workplace culture by enhancing communication, fostering growth, and building trust. It promotes collaboration, empowers employees, and fosters resilience, transforming the environment into a collaborative, positive space.
Team Coaching works by firstly connecting and getting to know the team and help them begin to understand the internal & external dynamics and the priority areas they want to work on. Then, co design a purpose or an opening theme for team coaching. The coach supports the team in having the conversations they need to address those issues.
Measurements of the impact of coaching consistently show a high return on investment from successful creation of a coaching culture within the team. Creating a coaching culture in the team has been shown to have significant positive impact upon:
- Individual and team performance
- Retention of talent
- Motivation and employee engagement
- Creativity
- Customer service
- Communication within the team and with other teams
- Knowledge transfer and retention
Coaching includes option for a Co Coach. This is highly recommended to to capture team awareness across the development cycle, and to share the load particularly for larger teams. The array of a Co Coach also creates different voice, proven to elevate engagement and learning. Chris has a specific Co Coach partner selected for skills alignment and diversity of experience.
