If you are leading your team through complex processes, working together we will find crystal clear paths in your strategic planning, community organizing, personal development and professional growth.
Developing Leadership and Teamwork in Organizations
When leaders and emerging leaders contact me, here are some of the challenges they may be facing:
- A large and/or long-term project (e.g. strategic planning process, developing an effective task force, building teamwork and developing their leadership bench) to help with project management, creative ideas, consensus-building and excellent communication among team members.
- Time management and delegation issues that ripple throughout the organization, impacting productivity, morale, and efficiency.
- Leadership and leadership team development, including training, role-modeling, management, relegation, team-building, organizational management, and project management.
- Staff issues including miscommunication, behavioral issues, an overall lack of teamwork, and low employee morale.
How can Professional Coaching and Group Facilitation help?
When feeling the effects of any of the situations mentioned above, it can be challenging to tap into your brilliance, experience and passion to move forward. It can leave you feeling overwhelmed, intimidated, frustrated, and stuck. What once felt like flow and excitement now feels like a dreaded dead end.
This is where a Professional Coach and Group Facilitation helps you tap into your brilliance, passion, and experience to inspire and lead your team effectively.
Although the efforts are led by you, the leader, you have the opportunity to engage your team members to tap into their experience, ideas and talent, while simultaneously building teamwork, increasing engagement and commitment among team members, and developing your leadership bench (your succession of leaders).
This invites you and your team to envision the full scope of the project or issue, identify the highest priorities, collaboratively brainstorm and vet ideas and solutions, communicate effectively to find consensus and manage the project efficiently, while remaining nimble and open enough to stay the course and adjust along the way.
What is Professional Coaching and Group Facilitation?
- Professional Coaching
Professional Coaching helps executives and team members better understand themselves and their roles in the organization, explore their potential as leaders, and use Action Steps and accountability to promote organizational development and growth. Coaching encourages self-inquiry, introspection and personal growth to develop leadership, communication and organizational skills so people and teams increase their confidence, make better decisions, and become proficient in problem solving and team development.
- Group Facilitation
Group Facilitation helps navigate challenging group dynamics to create a collaborative atmosphere, build teamwork, deepen communication among team members, and unify the team’s vision and efforts to more fully understand and fulfill the organization’s mission. Together we do this through the Iterative Co-Creative Process.
What is the Iterative Co-Creative Process and how will it help me and my team?
The Iterative Co-Creative process works! It helps to identify and help people understand the scope of the program, the potential resources available, uncover problem areas and potential obstacles, seek and research potential solutions, build collaboration and trust, increase visibility and awareness, all in an effort to build consensus and teamwork to bring resolution, connectedness, and success. Check out these definitions to better understand the Iterative Co-Creative Process:
- Iterative
Relating to or involving iteration (the repetition of a process). In this sense, the iterative process responds to what is happening within the group (internal) and outside of the group (external). Internal includes leaders’ and members’ personalities, group dynamics, varying styles, differences in goals and priorities, and communication styles, as examples. External forces refer to environmental factors outside of the control of the group, but important in the planning process.
- Co-creative
This refers to the relationship and ongoing conversation (dance) between the facilitator and the leaders and members of the group and community to use the leadership/guidance of the facilitator to tap into the brilliance, intelligence, experience and passion of team leaders and members to collaboratively create the process along the way…based on what is happening. This includes open conversations, active listening, and brainstorming to determine next steps.
