The Corentus team coaching program gave me new eyes and ears: I see group dynamics differently and can listen more deeply to identify patterns that unlock group performance.
I have the skills to name what is happening in a non-judgmental way and to ask provocative coaching questions in a way that catalyzes reflection and choice. As a result, the teams I work with now identify their own dynamics and shift their behaviors on their own, leading to stronger performance and team cohesion.
I am hooked that team coaching can catalyze big shifts in a way that often land flat via traditional consulting. Go figure: people value their own wisdom more than mine!
These skills have transformed my other work as well: in consulting, my clients appreciate my increased candor and ease in drawing out their best thinking vs when I am offering my own.
In one-on-one executive coaching, I am more comfortable and can better draw out my client's awareness of their limiting behaviors and beliefs. Clients more rapidly see where they have leverage and are making small shifts that yield big positive impact.
