Rocky Times at work?

Perhaps your team, relationships and culture at work are fab? If so, celebrating you and your colleagues! But if relationship issues are proving tricky in your team(s) … then what? Put up with it? Resign yourself to being fed up? Hope for the best? Wish someone would sort things out? Leave?

There is an alternative, and it’s possibly counter-intuitive, especially when resources are tight and times are uncertain. If things feel rocky for you and your colleagues, group or team coaching can be transformative.

I recently worked with a team where things had reached rock-bottom. Stress, sickness, grievances, conflict, breakdown of trust and plummeting quality standards. They were very reluctant to spend any more time together than was absolutely necessary. Yet they found the courage to start team coaching. I worked with them fortnightly for several months.

The impact has not just been at work. Some of them say the experience has positively shifted their relationships with family, friends and personally, too.

Team or group coaching might seem low down on your priority list right now, for understandable reasons. Yet, it could be the wisest investment you and your colleagues can make. To prepare for the future. And to stay healthy and well here and now.
