Team Coaching

Team Coaching

Team Coaching at Sense&Action is designed to unlock the collective intelligence of teams—strengthening collaboration, improving communication, and aligning efforts with organizational goals. The focus is on cultivating sustainable, high-performing teams that thrive in complexity and drive results together.

Through facilitated sessions, real-time feedback, and reflective work, teams are guided to move from fragmentation to alignment, from conflict to constructive dialogue, and from siloed action to shared purpose.

Core Areas of Focus:

• Building Psychological Safety:
  Helping teams create an environment where members feel safe to speak up, share ideas, and challenge assumptions—without fear of judgment. Psychological safety is the foundation of innovation, trust, and open collaboration.
  
  

• Clarifying Purpose and Direction:
  Aligning the team around a shared vision and meaningful goals, ensuring everyone understands not just what they’re doing, but why it matters.
  
  

• Enhancing Communication & Feedback Culture:
  Developing skills and routines for open, respectful, and productive communication. This includes addressing difficult conversations, improving meeting effectiveness, and strengthening peer-to-peer feedback.
  
  

• Navigating Conflict Constructively:
  Addressing interpersonal or structural tensions as they arise and turning them into opportunities for learning, growth, and better collaboration.
  
  

• Aligning Strengths & Roles:
  Clarifying roles and responsibilities while leveraging the diverse strengths within the team—leading to better decision-making and increased accountability.
  
  

• Adapting in Uncertain Environments:
  Helping teams work more effectively in change-heavy or ambiguous conditions by building collective resilience, adaptability, and focus.
  
  

What Makes This Approach Different:

Rather than offering quick-fix solutions or one-off workshops, this coaching process supports real, embedded change over time. Sessions are highly interactive and grounded in the team's actual challenges and context—making the work immediately relevant and results-oriented.

Benefits for Teams & Organizations:

• Stronger Collaboration & Trust

• Clearer Alignment with Strategy

• Increased Ownership & Accountability

• Improved Morale and Engagement

• Better Decision-Making and Innovation

• Greater Agility in Times of Change

Methodologies & Frameworks

Team coaching at Sense&Action draws on a range of proven frameworks to address both relational dynamics and performance outcomes. Each method is selected based on the team’s context, maturity, and goals—ensuring a flexible, grounded approach that leads to meaningful and lasting results.

• GROW Model:
  A practical and widely respected coaching framework (Goal – Reality – Options – Way Forward) that helps teams clarify shared objectives, assess their current situation, explore possibilities, and commit to concrete actions.
  
  

• CLEAR Model:
  Structured around Contracting, Listening, Exploring, Action, and Review, this process supports depth, clarity, and accountability in coaching conversations. It helps teams navigate complexity while staying focused and collaborative.
  
  

• Systemic Team Coaching:
  Takes into account the team’s role within the broader organization and external environment. This approach helps surface invisible dynamics, build alignment across stakeholders, and ensure the team’s actions are systemically sustainable.
  
  

• Lencioni Model:
  Based on The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, this model addresses common barriers to team effectiveness: absence of trust, fear of conflict, lack of commitment, avoidance of accountability, and inattention to results. It's particularly valuable when trust and cohesion need to be rebuilt.
  
  

• Transcultural Approach:
  Supports teams operating in multicultural or international contexts by promoting cultural awareness, inclusive communication, and mutual respect—key drivers of cohesion in diverse environments.
  
  

• Agile Frameworks:
  Elements of Agile (such as iterative progress, feedback loops, and adaptability) are integrated to help teams operate with greater flexibility, ownership, and responsiveness—especially in fast-paced or change-heavy settings.
  
  

• Mediation & Conflict Resolution:
  When tensions arise, a mediation-informed approach supports constructive negotiation and helps the team move beyond conflict. The aim is to restore collaboration and shift from positional stances to shared understanding.
  
  

By combining these methodologies, the team coaching process addresses both the how and the why—fostering stronger relationships, clearer direction, and a culture of shared responsibility.
