TEAM COACHING:

True North Group Collaboration Coaching

OUR FOUNDATION
Our work with collaboration is grounded in the belief that dyads and teams form the fundamental working unit of any competitive organization; each member of a group might be highly capable, but competitive advantages can only be achieved through collaboration. Our approach is based in proven practical know-how, best practices in business and both social and cognitive theory. Using True North Group’s conceptual framework of a high performance team, we establish a relationship with each client to craft a plan of action that helps them collectively move ahead and achieve their goals.

OUR CLIENTS
Typically, our clients are well performing organizations or teams eager to realize their full collective potential. They may be:

• growing with a need to better leverage their inherent expertise for a tangible competitive advantage,
• transitioning with a need for guidance as they seek to achieve authentic change, or
• seeking to develop a culture of collaboration.

OUR PROCESS

• Individual and team assessment instruments are administered when appropriate.
• Relevant performance documentation will be reviewed as needed.

Goal setting

• Goals aligned with organizational objectives are established based on assessment results.
• They are measurable, actionable and observable

The work

• Sessions are hours to week long, either on or off site (e.g., see TNG’s Rowing Experience).
• The sessions provide opportunities for the client to discuss issues and challenges they are facing and to acquire new skills to address them.
• Clients are held accountable for commitments to coaching preparation prior to sessions, practicing between sessions, and achieving the agreed upon goals.

Evaluation and follow up

• Client evaluation of the process is conducted informally during and after each session.
• A further formal evaluation is conducted at the close of formal sessions.
• A follow up check-in session is scheduled within two months of the last formal session.
