Growth case studies...
Waves of Team Coaching (C)
There is evidence that team coaching creates wide reaching waves of growth across organisations and stakeholders.
This case study is the combination of two independent pieces of work. One by Dr Colm Murphy, examining the effectiveness of team coaching in relation to three teams in one organisation, and my own work with one team over a three-year period.
Hear what Colm and I have to say in this series of videos, or download the
resources below. We talk about what we found, why it happened and important implicatiations for leaders of organisations, team leaders, OD/HR and change professionals, teachers of coaching, and team coaches. We've also included suggestions on how tsunamis can be encouraged across organisations.

Auckland Transport - building connection
The team was formed just before COVID hit, and as a result they never really had the opportunity to connect or bond, tending to stick to their silo’s.
The style of team coaching I offer, tailored to the team and environment, appealed to the leader. and I was asked to help.
After working with them the team noticed the way they interacted with each other had changed. They enjoy spending time together, valued learning from each other, solving problems together, communicated better and collaborated more.
Auckland Transport - creating a buzz
The Creative team's remit was providing advertising and graphic design functions, mostly outsourced prior. The talented and energetic team weren't meeting expectations, tied up with process issues and delivery delays.
Team coaching work focused on senior members of the team. Despite initial resistance, within a short time collaboration and delivery improved. A team member said "it felt like we had been given permission to contribute and share leadership."
The entire Cretaive team was buzzing!

St John - new team, big goals!
Who better to tell you about the development journey of a team I worked with than the client himself! Gary Connolly (Deputy Chief Executive Finance and Insights, St John New Zealand ) talks about his own and his team's growth journey in the following series of 10 short videos.
This case involved a new leadership team, established post restructure. Team members had varying degrees of leadership and technical experience, most were new to leadership roles, and all were new to this new team. The team's environment was extremely challenging with multiple streams of system and process changes in play, while embedding the new structure and establishing their new roles - all at the same time.
Hear what Gary has to say about changes he noticed in the team and himself.
