Coaching for Real Teams
“We are not a team because we work together. We are a team because we trust each other.”
- Simon Sinek
A Focus on Patterns, Not Personalities
Team coaching here is not about quick fixes or surface alignment. It is about helping teams recognise and shift the patterns that shape how they make decisions, handle disagreement, and coordinate action.When teams can see these patterns clearly, they are better able to take responsibility for how they work together — and to adapt when conditions change.
Starting the work
Every engagement begins with a focused diagnostic conversation.We look at how the team operates day to day, where friction shows up, and what feels stuck or unresolved. This helps clarify whether coaching is the right intervention and what the team actually needs, rather than defaulting to generic development activity.The aim is to surface patterns early, before they harden into dysfunction.

Lumina Spark
Provides insights into personality, understand strengths, and identify potential areas for development.
To ground the work, I use tools that reveal how people show up—individually and together. Belbin helps map the roles people naturally take on. Lumina Spark adds depth, showing how personality patterns shape the team’s dynamic.
These aren’t just diagnostics—they’re conversation starters. They help us see strengths, blind spots, and the space in between. From there, we design a coaching process that fits the team—not a model, but the people in the room.

How This Helps Teams
My approach draws on research into what enables teams to perform over time, but keeps the work practical and grounded. Together we focus on:surfacing misalignment between intent and behaviouraddressing recurring conflict or avoidancestrengthening clarity around roles and decision rightssupporting more honest and productive conversationsThe aim is not harmony. It is coherence — especially when stakes are high.
A team is like an orchestra. Each person brings their own part—distinct, necessary, sometimes at odds. Coaching helps them listen, adjust, and find a rhythm together. Not perfect, but attuned—like a piece of music that works because everyone knows when to lead, and when to hold back.
