Systemic Coaching for Leadership Teams
We spend our working lives as part of teams.
These teams can be a source of achievement, learning, creativity and fun.
Or a source of frustration, stress, and inefficiency.
Team culture impacts how well we perform, and how engaged we are, at work.
How the ‘Top Team’ functions (or dysfunctions!) sets the tone for the entire organisation.
Liminal Space supports your leadership teams to navigate your real-world challenges and opportunities with resilience, creativity and wisdom. Together we take executive development out of the classroom and into your world.Research* tells us that one of the primary drivers of high performing businesses is the top team’s ability to consistently behave as a collective. Sounds simple. It’s also rare.
In a world of constant change, an ongoing focus on the development of the ‘top team’ is vital. Remaining relevant and value-creating requires a deeply held understanding of and connection to:
• Each other: The trust needed for robust conversations and shared accountability
• Shared purpose: The alignment needed for enterprise-wide thinking and decision-making
• Stakeholder needs: The commitment needed to create value with, and for, your stakeholders now and into the future
Create the skills and space for your leadership team to engage in robust conversations which enable:
Taking a clear-eyed view of current reality: How are you performing, really?
Unlocking new ways of thinking about the opportunities and challenges you are facing.
Strategising and planning new ways of engaging with your wider stakeholder system in a way that unlocks potential.
Acting decisively and in alignment with your organisational purpose, values and vision.
Learning and developing both as a team, and as individuals

In short, no. Typical team coaching programs focus on the internal aspects of a team - particularly the dynamics and relationships between team members. This is fundamental, and a useful starting point. But it does not go far enough.
The biggest challenges a leadership team face usually lie beyond their own internal dynamics, and have more to do with how they are engaging with their wider stakeholder system: including employees, investors/funders, governance, partner organisations etc.
