In this second part of my conversation with Dr Alison Hodge, we dive further into the territory of team coaching. I hope you find it as thrilling, fun and eye-opening as I did. Some of the points we explore are how to use or apply the map to
- identify the dynamic forces at play on the team and organisation
- invite nature into the conversation
- navigate your terrain as a team coach during a client engagement
- share the map with your client to define where to start an engagement
- develop yourself and your clients' capacity to be with the emergent
- allow ourselves to be with the magic of life itself
- create dialogue and a unified field for the team coaching profession

I would love your feedback and any other thoughts that come to mind.

I’m very excited to be joined in this episode on The Team Coaching Zone by Andres Roberts, the founder of the Bio-Leadership Project and co-founder of Way of Nature. Andres' TEDx talk How Would Nature Change Leadership? – quickly made its way onto the global TED platform within weeks of giving the talk. Andres is on a mission to reinvent leadership to be more like nature. He believes we are at ‘sliding doors’ moment in time, in which humanity has the challenge and the opportunity to rewrite the rules of collective progress in history. He argues rather than battling with the old operating systems, making nature our guide might be the most important innovation of our times. Andres left the world of big organisations early on in his career. He has worked and learnt with elders and teachers from around the world, as well as first class partners in organisational learning and development. Andres works with institutions such as Patagonia, the World Benchmarking Alliance and the Amani Institute.

In episode #124 I begin by asking Andres to share his earliest memories of being in nature. We also venture into:

  • What inspired Andres to make leadership and nature his life's work
  • The Bio-Leadership project as a global movement for change
  • Three threads woven into the Bio-Leadership philosophy
  • How some companies are applying the model to reinvent their future
  • How it could inform Team Coaches grappling with a transformation agenda

TCZ Episode #121: Alison Cameron: What Does It Really Take To Transform Teams?

In this episode Alison Cameron, an internationally acclaimed transformation strategist and I talk about what it takes to guide team leaders in enabling organisational evolution.

TCZ Episode #120: Klaus Leopold: Reinventing Agile: Why High-Performing Teams Isn’t The Answer

Before, during and for sure post the immediate crisis of #Covid-19, organisations today are having to reinvent themselves faster than ever before. As a behaviour change expert working with senior teams, I tend to focus on the human system itself rather than operational systems and processes. Clearly both relationships and tasks need to be reimagined for companies to adapt and thrive.

Unpicking the spaghetti junction of a business’s operational system is not easily done, but Dr Klaus Leopold, CEO of Flight Levels Academy and Managing Partner of Leanability seems to have the knack for it. For those in the agile world, Klaus is a bit of a legend and it is his third book, Rethinking Agile that prompted me to invite him onto the Team Coaching Zone podcast to ask about how he goes about whole-systems change.

Here's some of what Klaus and I cover:

  • How he discovered and defines flight levels
  • Why agile teams have nothing to do with business agility
  • How flight levels work in helping to re-imagine businesses
  • Why we don’t need high-performance teams
  • The dangers of focusing on teams as islands rather than agile interactions
  • The relationship between flight levels thinking and three horizons thinking
  • Klaus’ vision for a better world

TCZ Episode #119: Mike Robbins: We’re All In This Together: Coaching Teams With This in Mind

On today's show I talk to Mike Robbins, author of five books including his brand new title, We're All In This Together: Creating a Team Culture of High Performance, Trust and Belonging. Mike's ideas are based on 20 years working as a highly sought-after speaker and consultant to clients such as, Google, Wells Fargo, Microsoft, Genentech, eBay, Harvard University, and LinkedIn. We begin with Mike's own story as a professional sportsman turned business consultant in the San Francisco Bay area. We talk about the sense of urgency which compelled him to write the book, and then explore the four pillars that his research has led him to believe are essential for teams to thrive in today's world. These are:

  • Psychological safety, drawing on the work of Amy Edmondson and others, what it takes to create an environment safe for risk-taking, disagreement, failure, boldness and authenticity.
  • Inclusion and belonging, why teams need to engage in authentic conversations around this topic in an on-going and effective way, not only for companies to thrive but for societies to move in a positive direction on these fronts.
  • Embracing sweaty-palm conversations, however scary and difficult, conflict as an enabler for positive team relationships, overall performance and wellbeing.
  • Caring and challenging each other, the importance of maintaining a strong balance of nurturing and high expectations in the team.

Listen here on the Team Coaching Zone or any podcast platform to Episode #119 More about Mike:

  • Mike and his work have been featured in the New York Times and the Harvard Business Review, as well as on NPR and ABC News.
  • He’s a regular contributor to Forbes, hosts his own podcast (called We’re All in This Together), and his books have been translated into 15 different languages.

TCZ Episode #117: Dr. Paul White: How to Keep Teams Feeling Valued in a Remote Workplace

In an agile and less hierarchical world, teams are ever more reliant on motivating each other over and above relying on their team leader. Appreciation is one of the fastest ways to make someone feel valued but we don't all speak the same language. Especially at a time when most are working remotely and having to dig deep to build team resilience. My guest today really does have the data to help teams and organizations to get this right. Dr Paul White is a psychologist, leadership trainer and co-author of the Five Languages of Appreciation at Work based on the international best seller by his co-author Gary Chapman on The Five Love Languages.

  • Why appreciation matters over and above employee recognition
  • How to recognise the 5 language of appreciation in yourself and others
  • The impact of appreciation on team effectiveness
  • What differences the research shows for remote teams

TCZ Podcast Episode #116: Kathryn McCusker: How To Stay Connected in The Face of Disruption

Have you had moments during lockdown of getting trapped in your head and wanting to rationalise what's going on rather than be in your heart? I certainly have. Yet to coach effectively and to be a transformational presence for others, we know we must stay connected to our feelings. Only when we have processed our feelings can we find our creative response. Creativity is what many of the organisational leaders I've been coaching over the past couple of weeks are looking for from themselves and their people as they move beyond a crisis response to reimagining the future of work.

My guest this week on The Team Coaching Zone podcast is not a coach. Kathryn McCusker is a kundalini yoga teacher, professional opera singer and author. I've been going to Kathryn's classes for awhile now and each time I leave the studio feeling deeply connected to myself and the world. In this episode Kathryn shares practical techniques which you can do working from your home office to access your personal creativity. We talk about the science behind Kundalini yoga and the impact different breathing techniques and mantra meditations have proven to have on enhancing brain functioning as well as managing our emotional state.

I hope you have fun with this one!

Episode #112: Marcy Connors: A Master Practitioner Shares Best Practices on Coaching Virtual Teams and Team of Teams

For businesses, big and small, one reality is an ever-growing workforce that is very mobile and could be based anywhere. Another reality is organizations becoming more team-based structures. This provides both opportunities and challenges to scaling leadership. Especially with different teams working in different time zones, with some team members working partial hours.

Virtual team coaching can help to effectively and quickly scale leadership in a geographically dispersed organization. For companies moving at pace, virtual team coaching can help leadership teams to map out where cross-collaboration needs to happen and create the virtual conditions for shared leadership to emerge and continuously improve.

If you are a business leader or team coach looking to expand your understanding of how to go about using virtual team coaching to scale shared leadership listen to my conversation with Mary Connors in this episode of the Team Coaching Zone podcast.

Mary is an expert in large scale organizational change and virtual team leadership with a passion for bringing people together to achieve results globally. Listening to Mary talk through several case studies was eye-opening and fun. She brings 30 years executive coaching and consulting experience through her business Connors Davis & Company to the conversation, as well as 25 years’ experience in the design of Leadership and Change programs in the MBA departments of both US and international universities. There’s lots of good stuff here… top tips, stories, and as both Mary and I work with a number of family businesses, some good banter around trends we see happening with intergenerational teams. Enjoy!
