“Sense-making is about the exploration into what is real, and what is meaningful is bound to what is real”
Team Coaching
Coaching is often seen as an activity for individuals, but coaching can also be for relationships, groups and teams. It has the same intention at its core and uses the same key coaching skills (listening, questioning, noticing, exploring, etc).
Team Coaching focuses on helping the team collectively achieve the team’s work in terms of both task work and team work through sustained professional dialogue that raises the individual and collective level of reflection and self-awareness, and challenges the team’s thinking and behaviors as they develop their own sustainable solutions and practices.

The way we get things done in work and life is through relationships. With team, group or relationship coaching the coach coaches the whole and the relationships, as well as the individuals.
Leadership stems from our connections with others as well as our shared purpose.
Leadership Circles
Leadership Circles allow those who have been doing leadership for some time but want to deepen their practice, to have the space to tap into their own insight and wisdom, in a supportive environment.
It is not about being ‘taught’ a theory or a model. It is an invitation for you to work in relationship with yourself, others and the wider world; to perceive things differently and have a sense of what to do and how to be, for you in your context.
The Leadership Circles take place near York, UK. For more details go to www.leadershipcircles.co.uk
Action Learning Sets
A Leadership Action Learning Set is a group of around 6 people who come together to develop their leaderships practice.
To do this participants bring a topic to each session, that their peers help them explore using coaching skills and practice. Participants reflect on an action to undertake before the subsequent session, then bring back their learning from any actions taken to the group. The set, its structure and process, is facilitated.
The participants develop their own leadership practice not only from the action-learning from their own topics but also from those of others. They also develop in their own reflective and coaching skills.
