Team Coaching That Actually Changes the Game

Why senior leaders need more than alignment; they need to show up whole.

When I read The Trillion Dollar Coach, I found myself nodding along more often than not. Not because I’m Bill Campbell, we’re very different men; but because I recognised the invisible work. The unspoken role. The ability to sit with high-performing leaders and see the one thing no one else is saying.

That’s the space I hold.
Not just as a coach, but as a mirror. A truth-teller. And a challenger with care.

For over 30 years, I’ve coached senior leadership teams, from global boardrooms to fast-moving executive teams and what I’ve learned is this:

Brilliant individuals don’t automatically make brilliant teams.
In fact, sometimes the brilliance is the barrier.

You see, most teams aren’t short on strategy. Or intellect. Or ambition.
What they’re short on, what they’re starving for, is a safe place to breath and be themselves so that they can speak and hear the truth.

Truth about what’s really going on beneath the surface.
Truth about what’s being tolerated.
Truth about the stories and egos and invisible power plays that are quietly costing them trust, clarity and performance.

That’s what I coach.

Not just the team. Not just the individuals.
But the space in between them, the part where real transformation lives.

So what does transformational team coaching look like?

It’s not a motivational workshop or a glossy team offsite.

It’s real work. Grounded, insightful, honest work.

It looks like helping each leader bring their whole self to the table because that’s where their true A-game lives.

It looks like:

• Surfacing what’s not being said…but desperately needs to be.
• Shifting from competition to cohesion…without diluting excellence.
• Creating the kind of culture where challenge is welcomed and respected.
• Helping every leader understand the impact they have… not just their intention.
• Unlocking not just collective performance…but individual ‘teamship’.

Because when leaders are only allowed to bring their “business face” to the table, you only get half of their intelligence, half of their creativity, half of their capacity.

But when they feel safe to show up fully?
That’s when things start getting interesting.

What teams get from working with me:

• Radical Honesty: delivered with compassion and clarity.
• Deeper Cohesion: not the performative kind, the real kind.
• Sharper Individual Performance: fuelled by personal accountability.
• Greater Agility: because trust reduces friction.
• Leadership Maturity: built from the inside out.
• A Shared Language: rooted in integrity, not politics.

And they get a coach who has seen it all, worked with practically every type of personality and isn’t afraid to call time on what’s no longer serving the team or the business.

This isn’t about getting everyone to agree.

It’s about getting everyone to care.
To contribute fully.
To step out from behind performance and into presence.

Because when teams work like this, where truth is normal and brilliance is invited,
everything changes.

Decisions become faster.
Conflict becomes productive.
Egos soften.
And the business benefits. Massively.

So if you lead, sit on or serve a team that should be world-class but isn’t quite there yet, ask yourself:

💬 What aren’t we saying?
💬 What are we tolerating?
💬 And who might we become if we stopped pretending and started trusting?

That’s the kind of team I coach.
And the kind of leader I help you become…together.

Because cohesion isn’t built in spreadsheets.
It’s built in how we choose to show up.
