I believe all effective teams have three elements:
Trust + Communication + Accountability
Items like vision, strategy, or role clarity contribute to success but are valuable only in the presence of these three elements.
*There is a fourth element - Diversity - but it’s best addressed through different mechanisms.

The role of team development.
Why work with teams?
Many of my best memories and greatest challenges took place in a team environment. My varied experiences include as a:
Coach and facilitator for 30+ workplace teams
Leader or member of 20+ workplace teams
Member of 10+ sports or volunteer teams
I’ve seen teams that keep improving, teams that acknowledge their issues but get stuck, and teams that don’t recognize their issues. In recent years I have leveraged my coaching skills to help teams develop the mindset and skills to work and live well as a team. This is what I call team development.
What can I help with?
I support teams with developing their:
Trust, communication, and accountability (three elements)
Shared vision and goals which contribute to it
Team culture and ‘norms’ which reinforce it
Opportunities for learning and growth
Prioritization and work-life balance
Models for remote or hybrid work
…and more
How does it work?
To foster team development, I offer customizable programs which combine coach-facilitated sessions with resources, insights, and reminders. My support lasts a minimum of 4 months to help ensure you start seeing results, but the types of conversations which our work together sparks will continue for long afterwards.
