In this interview, we talk with Michelle Chambers about her article, Is Team Coaching a Fit for Me? How to Decide If Teams Are In Your Future
Leadership teams are facing a number of key challenges in their current operating environments, including: working in a VUCA environment; managing expectations of different stakeholders; running the business and transforming it; being members of multiple teams; complexity and interconnectedness of organizations; working effectively within and across systems and the need for better return on investment on leadership
development. Sound familiar?
Team coaching is about coaching the client as a system within the systems
in which they operate. At the end of the day, teams are measured on their
collective performance. Team coaching involves working with the client over
a period of time to help them become more accountable to themselves and to develop sustainable changes in behavior to support their goals.
A thought leader in team coaching and organization development, Michelle has provided global consulting, leadership and coaching for many organizations, including several of Canada's Top 50 Employers.
Michelle is passionate about supporting others to create collaborative cultures that enable people to achieve purpose in their work. A Certified Team Performance Coach, global trainer of team coaches, speaker and author, she has been at the forefront of the team coaching field since she was responsible for leadership development, enterprise wide for Telus Mobility in Canada.

Episode #37~ Let Down - Coaching teams through disappointment with guest, Julian Humphreys

In this interview, we talk with Julian Humphreys about his article, Let Down ~ Coaching teams through disappointment.
Disappointment is often a visceral experience that can feel like the wind has been taken out of your sails, and it can have a long-term impact on the motivation, trust and commitment of a team. Team coaches have an important role to play in helping teams process their disappointment so it doesn't get in the way of setting and meeting future expectations that propel the team forward.
Team coaches need to check in with teams about the attributions they make, so the causes of behaviors that are experienced as disappointing can be more accurately understood and addressed.
Team coaches need to be brought in early so disappointment can be addressed proactively, before it becomes chronic. Team coaches also need to be aware of their own feelings of disappointment, understanding the expectations that are put on them, and that they put on themselves.
To avoid unnecessary disappointment, coaches need to ask themselves
the same questions team members do – are the expectations explicit, are they reasonable, and are the attributions made when expectations are not met accurate enough?
Julian is a Global Executive and Team Coach, helping senior leaders around the world take their careers to the next level by developing critical thinking, strategic thinking, emotional intelligence, social intelligence, mindfulness, authenticity and integrity.
He is an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of the international coaching journal Philosophy of Coaching, and the developer and instructor for the advanced-level ICF-accredited courses Psychology for Coaches, Philosophy for Coaches and Level 3 Mastery.

Episode #39 ~ Changing The Lens with guest, Lisa Ong

In this interview, we talk with Lisa Ong about her article, Changing the Lens ~ How coaching with an inclusive equity lens accelerates cultures of belonging.
As organizations increasingly see the importance of embedding diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging into their policies and culture, more leaders are focusing on how to incorporate those ideas.
Coaching is a great skillset for promoting cultures of inclusion and belonging because when you look at the traits for inclusive leaders, giving and getting feedback are two of them. Being curious and listening. Being open-minded, all of those things and skills that coaches are trained for fit right into DEI&B.
Companies recognized for their DEI work make an effort to embed DEIB into everything they do. It becomes part of the DNA of their culture, and they measure it in their core values and performance expectations. They don't look at DEIB as an extension of what they do; it becomes part of their brand internally and externally in the community.
As President and Founder of Wishing Out Loud LLC, Lisa is widely known as a "talent gardener" and "inclusion connector” because she coaches and mentors leaders to support the growth and momentum of their DEIB vision. She is a community volunteer, blogger, and frequent podcast guest.

Lisa received a 2022 Leaders in Diversity Award from The Dallas Business Journal. D CEO Magazine named her to The Dallas 500 in 2023, 2021, and 2020 as "one of the most powerful business leaders in DFW.”

Before Wishing Out Loud LLC, Lisa was a national diversity director in PwC's Office of Diversity and Inclusion. She earned her BBA in Accounting from the University of Texas at Austin and her MS in Management and Professional Executive Coaching from the University of Texas at Dallas.

Join us as we learn more from Lisa on how to we can help provide cultures of belonging through coaching.
