Our approach
We support the group members so that they can reflect, better understand themselves and think and act differently.
We listen and intervene so that the group members become aware of how they operate: how they perceive things, what their thoughts, values and emotions are.
​
We facilitate the process enabling the desired change to emerge. Our coaching posture offers participants a secure space to open up, question their habits and learn with pleasure through co-construction, co-protection and co-permission.
How the coaching works
This coaching program is tailor-made with the group leader or leaders by establishing the program’s objectives and deliverables.
Between each session the participants will be putting specific actions in place.
The last session or wrap-up is an opportunity for everyone to share what they’ve learned and their action plan.
Duration and format of the coaching
The duration and format depend on the situation. It is recommended to start with a 1 or 2 day seminar, followed by a 1 day session every 5-8 weeks, spread over a 3, 6 or 9-month period.
We work with groups from 6 to 100 people face to face. And with smaller groups (maximum of 12 people) remotely via TEAMS.
Group vs Team: what is the difference?
A group is not necessarily a team. It is a group of people that have an occasional
or onetime project in common and need to work together to achieve the goal.
Whereas, a team is officially known as a team, with its own rules,
values and is long lasting while working on many different topics.
Ex. : a project group is a group, a finance department is represented by a finance team
Testimonials
We assisted the project manager in charge of the Digital Transformation to reflect, build, and facilitate the "World-wide Kick-off" event. It brought together sixty-five business unit managers and opinion leaders and put in motion a common goal and road map for the project.
