I hope you find it as thrilling, fun and eye-opening as I did. Some of the points we explore are how to use or apply the map to - identify the dynamic forces at play on the team and organisation - invite nature into the conversation - navigate your terrain as a team coach during a client engagement - share the map with your client to define where to start an engagement - develop yourself and your clients' capacity to be with the emergent - allow ourselves to be with the magic of life itself - create dialogue and a unified field for the team coaching profession I would love your feedback and any other thoughts that come to mind.

TCZ Episode #120: Klaus Leopold: Reinventing Agile: Why High-Performing Teams Isn’t The Answer Before, during and for sure post the immediate crisis of #Covid-19, organisations today are having to reinvent themselves faster than ever before. As a behaviour change expert working with senior teams, I tend to focus on the human system itself rather than operational systems and processes. Clearly both relationships and tasks need to be reimagined for companies to adapt and thrive. Unpicking the spaghetti junction of a business’s operational system is not easily done, but Dr Klaus Leopold, CEO of Flight Levels Academy and Managing Partner of Leanability seems to have the knack for it. For those in the agile world, Klaus is a bit of a legend and it is his third book, Rethinking Agile that prompted me to invite him onto the Team Coaching Zone podcast to ask about how he goes about whole-systems change. Here's some of what Klaus and I cover: How he discovered and defines flight levels Why agile teams have nothing to do with business agility How flight levels work in helping to re-imagine businesses Why we don’t need high-performance teams The dangers of focusing on teams as islands rather than agile interactions The relationship between flight levels thinking and three horizons thinking Klaus’ vision for a better world For show notes and information on Klaus including his books, his blog and how to find him on Twitter and LinkedIn go to: https://www.teamcoachingzone.com/klausleopold

TCZ Episode #119: Mike Robbins: We’re All In This Together: Coaching Teams With This in Mind On today's show I talk to Mike Robbins, author of five books including his brand new title, We're All In This Together: Creating a Team Culture of High Performance, Trust and Belonging. Mike's ideas are based on 20 years working as a highly sought-after speaker and consultant to clients such as, Google, Wells Fargo, Microsoft, Genentech, eBay, Harvard University, and LinkedIn. We begin with Mike's own story as a professional sportsman turned business consultant in the San Francisco Bay area. We talk about the sense of urgency which compelled him to write the book, and then explore the four pillars that his research has led him to believe are essential for teams to thrive in today's world. These are: Psychological safety, drawing on the work of Amy Edmondson and others, what it takes to create an environment safe for risk-taking, disagreement, failure, boldness and authenticity. Inclusion and belonging, why teams need to engage in authentic conversations around this topic in an on-going and effective way, not only for companies to thrive but for societies to move in a positive direction on these fronts. Embracing sweaty-palm conversations, however scary and difficult, conflict as an enabler for positive team relationships, overall performance and wellbeing. Caring and challenging each other, the importance of maintaining a strong balance of nurturing and high expectations in the team. Listen here on the Team Coaching Zone or any podcast platform to Episode #119 More about Mike: Mike and his work have been featured in the New York Times and the Harvard Business Review, as well as on NPR and ABC News.

TCZ Podcast Episode #116: Kathryn McCusker: How To Stay Connected in The Face of Disruption Have you had moments during lockdown of getting trapped in your head and wanting to rationalise what's going on rather than be in your heart? I certainly have. Yet to coach effectively and to be a transformational presence for others, we know we must stay connected to our feelings. Only when we have processed our feelings can we find our creative response. Creativity is what many of the organisational leaders I've been coaching over the past couple of weeks are looking for from themselves and their people as they move beyond a crisis response to reimagining the future of work. My guest this week on The Team Coaching Zone podcast is not a coach. Kathryn McCusker is a kundalini yoga teacher, professional opera singer and author. I've been going to Kathryn's classes for awhile now and each time I leave the studio feeling deeply connected to myself and the world. In this episode Kathryn shares practical techniques which you can do working from your home office to access your personal creativity. We talk about the science behind Kundalini yoga and the impact different breathing techniques and mantra meditations have proven to have on enhancing brain functioning as well as managing our emotional state. I hope you have fun with this one!
