What can team coaches use to observe teams? What can teams use to observe themselves? Watch Alexander Caillet explain O-P-N (Outcomes, Patterns, Norms) -- a powerful Corentus framework -- used to help teams shift, for example, being late to meetings.
If you’ve felt discouraged or disillusioned by subpar results from “soft” approaches, it’s time to reevaluate.
Who leads within your team? Sometimes teams focus heavily on the team leader, but give little attention to the leadership capabilities that can exist across all team members—enabling greater self-regulation and autonomy.
Does your executive team spend too much time in Operational and Tactical work (the weeds) instead of Strategic and Visionary work?
What types of relationship issues limit teams—and individual team members—from performing at their best? How can teams address these issues for the benefit of all?

TEAM COACH (noun)
A practitioner who applies the principles and techniques of professional coaching and possess a set of team coaching core competencies to assist a team of individuals develop the awareness, knowledge, and skills they need to better achieve their goals. Here is one set of core competencies created by Corentus.
After reading the results of the Finance division’s portion of the company’s annual employee survey, Renata – CFO of the organization and head of this division – knows she needs to call in an external professional to work with her Senior Leadership Team.
The CEO of a bottling company toured a plant whose employees were demoralized. The tour proved extremely successful, and the CEO’s approval of what he saw generated a visible lift of mood. Once the CEO had departed, the plant manager addressed the employees: “The boss really liked what he saw. He said it was the best he had ever seen. But why did you have the order of the products reversed in the coolers? It was embarrassing!” The employees’ mood instantly slumped.
OUR GIFT TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE A PASSION FOR EFFECTIVE TEAMING
All of us at Corentus - especially Alexander and Amy - share their labor of love: Introduction to Corentus Team Coaching, for free, to the community of like-hearted people around the planet who have a passion for effective teaming.
Over the past 20+ years, we’ve worked from a foundation of three complementary team frameworks. These frameworks provide a foundation for the majority of our work with teams including the basis for a wide range of practical tools we use every day with our clients. From time to time, we improve upon these frameworks in order to obtain the greatest impact on our clients.
Effective leadership in today’s world requires leaders to adapt to complexity and change all while leading others in various states of teaming to accomplish results and have an impact within their organizations. We’ve found that leaders who understand the dimensions of teaming and are attuned to the ecosystem of their organization are better positioned to create the conditions for effective teaming.
We’ve spent nearly three decades, across five continents, coaching and consulting to leaders who are experiencing intense professional challenges—from extreme competitive pressures to mismanaged mergers and acquisitions. Throughout this work, we’ve observed a consistent link between leaders’ states of mind and their effectiveness, relationships, and performance. In particular, we’ve repeatedly witnessed the positive impact of higher states of mind and the adverse impact of lower states of mind. These observations inspired us to conduct more systematic research to validate and explore the patterns that seemed to be emerging.
As someone who has dedicated much of my professional life to team coaching and consulting, I frequently get asked what the word "team" really means. What exactly is it that separates a team from any other type of group? Before I share my answer to that question, take a moment to consider what your own response might be. Do you have a clear idea of what a real team is, and do you know it when you see it?
Have you ever been on vacation and been unable to relax? The whole point of taking time off is to achieve the calm, happy, and energized (CHE) states of mind that make us most productive and effective both while we’re away and when we’re back in the office. So how can you make sure that happens?
You know you’re in a bad mood. You know it’s hurting your performance at work. But how do you get yourself out of it?
Don, a senior vice president for sales at a global manufacturing company, wakes up late, scrambles to get showered and dressed, has an argument with his teenage daughter over breakfast, then gets stuck in traffic on the way to work and realizes he will be late for his first meeting.
