Systemic team coaching – developing a world-class team

World-class teams (ones that are greater than the sum of their parts) make more informed decisions, are more agile and responsive, reduce costs more quickly, go to market more effectively and launch products/services more smoothly. Once you have collective buy-in to your strategy, it is key to maximise the collective strength and intelligence of the team to:

• improve delivery for the business and its stakeholders
• enhance ability to set and achieve results-focussed goals
• increase collective accountability  and commitment
• successfully coordinate highly interdependent work
• improve relationships and dialogue
• build trust, confidence and respect
• better navigate the internal political landscape

Francesca is certified with the Academy of Executive Coaches in systemic team coaching which enables her to use the powerful 360 diagnostic tool as part of her work with leadership teams. She has also international (EMCC) accreditation in systemic team coaching with the Global Team Coaching Institute.

Executive Coaching & Leadership development

Leadership is how your business grows and develops and having capable leaders at all levels is critical to maintain your agility and competitive advantage in the long term.

Francesca will enable established, emerging and high-potential leaders to understand themselves and their impact,  improve the quality of their relationships, build on their strengths and unleash their leadership potential through:

• Executive coaching
• Group (“action learning”) coaching
• Business skills development (e.g. impact, influencing, relationship building)
• Leadership programme design and delivery

For Francesca, coaching and identity go hand-in-hand – “who am I”, “where have I come from”, “who can I become”, “who am I in this context”, “how can I better serve this context” are all inquiries that are interwoven into her coaching process. Francesca’s approach to coaching is centred on the belief that individuals are inherently resourceful and have an innate wisdom. She sees her role as coach is to create a safe space for individuals to share their everyday dilemmas and stresses, re-centre, gain greater clarity and perspective, access their own resources and explore what new positive actions can be taken to lead more effectively, foster more constructive relationships, and manage their physical and emotional wellbeing in order to thrive in the face of these challenging and uncertain times.  Francesca has a supportive, appreciative and collaborative style.

Consulting – culture change

In organisations where people are your dominant asset, the experience they create for clients makes (or breaks) your brand. Are your people living up to your brand? If not why not? Research shows business performance results from happy clients, which stem from happy people so exploring your organisational culture and how it supports your brand is a vital step towards greater success.

Francesca has extensive experience working alongside business leaders on culture/engagement strategies which support the organisation’s aims – an internal culture that embodies and supports how the organisation engages with external stakeholders and drives exceptional client/customer experience.

In order to fully understand your business, market and brand aspirations, Francesca will ask insightful and challenging questions and work alongside you to co-create a vision and way forward to engage your people in, helping you navigate the many organisational paradoxes to identify the critical choices and compromises.

Strategy workshop and engagement facilitation

Connection to the organisation’s strategy and being able to link your role to it is a proven driver of employee engagement.  Many leaders believe strong leadership is setting a direction and telling people what to do….whilst this may be effective in crisis situations it rarely creates sustainable long term engagement.

Francesca will help teams or groups within your organisation to define and/or connect with the strategic priorities leading to improved business focus and alignment, through:

Strategy and vision workshops

• Working together on the decisions most important to the business
• Developing the strategy and setting goals – balancing risk and innovation, anticipating future needs and opportunities, seeking to ensure the organisation’s sustainability

Large scale employee engagement events

• Involving employees in the creation/direction of the organisation – giving them a voice and harnessing their collective intelligence, experience and creativity
• Providing space and dialogue to connect with an organisation’s vision and strategy; to explore what they bring and how they will thrive
