I work with leadership and functional teams to improve how they collaborate, communicate and deliver together. Each engagement starts with the team’s context: what it needs to achieve, what is getting in the way and what would make the biggest difference.
When team development can help
- 01
Bringing a team together
Building working relationships in a new team, following a restructure or when teams come together across functions or countries.
- 02
Improving collaboration
Understanding different working styles, clarifying expectations and addressing friction that affects day-to-day cooperation.
- 03
Leading through change
Creating space to discuss uncertainty, agree priorities and work through the implications of change together.
- 04
Making better use of strengths
Recognising what each person contributes, where the team may rely too heavily on familiar approaches and what it needs to draw on more deliberately.
How I work
I combine facilitated team conversations, individual reflection and practical exercises grounded in the team’s real work. My approach is strengths-based, with space to address tensions, blind spots and unhelpful patterns.
Where relevant, I use CliftonStrengths to help people understand their own contribution and appreciate differences within the team. Individual debriefs can provide a foundation for deeper team work.
The focus is on what changes afterwards: clearer agreements, more productive conversations and practical actions that the team can apply together.
What an engagement can include
- An initial conversation with the team leader and sponsor to understand the context and agree objectives.
- Individual assessment and debriefs where appropriate.
- A tailored team workshop or a series of facilitated sessions.
- Agreed actions linked to the team’s priorities.
- Follow-up sessions to review progress and adjust working agreements.
The format and pace depend on the team’s needs, readiness and objectives.
Experience
My experience includes working with leadership and functional teams across manufacturing and international business, including finance and IT teams. I bring a perspective informed by executive search, leadership assessment and coaching leaders across different organisational and cultural contexts.
