‘Clients do not come first. Employees come first. If you take care of your employees, they will take care of the clients.’ Richard Branson
I absolutely love this quote! Because whenever I am 'the client', it's those employees who are well taken care of that make me feel like a million bucks!
Problem is - WHO takes care of the employees?
'Being taken care of' demands the question - by whom? Most of us will immediately say: their manager.
Problem is, what I'm hearing from the team managers I work with is this: now is one of the most difficult times to be managing a team!
You need to be able to manage your workload, and manage your team.
Achieve your goals and have a big picture about what needs to happen next.
Bring more 'fizz' and buzz' into your work and into your team's work!
Next question: HOW?
My colleague and fellow executive coach, Tracy Wilk, and I have developed a Pilot Team Coaching Program to support leaders and teams navigate the challenges in today's constantly changing workplace!
We developed this program because it's become obvious to us that it's unrealistic for companies to rely solely on individual leaders to meet their critical goals.
Instead, we really want to help companies to develop the collective leadership and intelligence of their teams, to produce better outcomes.
Through our work, we aim to support teams and leaders:
✅To understand individual and team strengths and areas of development as a cohesive team.
✅To define team purpose, values and priorities.
✅To better see and understand individual and team unspoken behaviours, modes of operation and other blind spots.
✅To build the team's capacity to manage conflict.
✅To clarify goals, performance indicators and roles.
✅To build a plan to help the team and team members to continually learn.
✅To help you as a team leader coach the team, and the team as a whole to coach itself.
✅Bring back the Fizz & Buzz in your team - both individually and collectively!
If you think this may be a good program for you and your team, and want to find out more about it, Book a Call and Talk to the Face!
'I feel in today's world each leader has gone through individual coaching and developmental programs.
Unfortunately what is lacking is understanding the perspective of their team-mates and acknowledging the feedback and eventually finding solutions, rather than just putting under a carpet and expect a great performance!
This leads to a vacuum between the leaders and the employees.'

Had an absolutely stellar coaching engagement with Roxana Radulescu and Tracy Wilk over the last few months.
Definitely helped Vitor Reis and me with:
a) Exploring and understanding what brings us joy at work, creating more positive energy and motivation
b) Diving deeper into areas that are creating tension or causing long-term frustration - and creating more clarity around underlying motives
c) Finding some creative solutions to increase (a) and reduce (b)
All in addition to diagnosing some team challenges so we can be more aware of them.
Grateful for your help Tracy and Roxana, and keen to work with you again in the future!
For the past few months Robert Chokr and I have been coached by Tracy Wilk and Roxana Radulescu on leadership topics.
It helped put many things into perspective: finding joy and fulfillment at work, tasks that drain vs. tasks that energize us, and how we can help each other as a team.
Tracy and Roxana shared very good tools that we could use to push these areas forward.
If anyone is looking for a coach I can definitely recommend these two 💯
