Who it’s for

Team coaching for the groups that need to work better together.

Edstellar's team coaching is built for intact leadership teams, newly formed groups and cross-functional teams that need to align, build trust and deliver together.

Leadership teams

A leadership team that disagrees in the room and undoes it in the corridor creates noise throughout the organization. Team coaching brings the real conversation into the room and builds the habits of a high-performing leadership team.

Shared Purpose & GoalsHealthy Conflict

Newly formed teams

A new team needs to build trust, establish ways of working and find a shared direction fast. Team coaching accelerates the forming process so the group can do real work sooner.

Cross-functional and project teams

Teams that cross organizational lines face competing priorities and no shared line management. Team coaching builds the relationships and agreements that let them work well despite the structure.

Benefits

Team coaching benefits for the whole organization.

Team coaching builds the shared habits and relationships that let a group do its best work together. Every Edstellar team coaching program is designed around six benefits.

01 / 06

A team aligned on what matters

The team's focus area is agreed in the discovery session and shapes every session that follows. Coaching keeps the work connected to what the team actually needs.

Focus area agreed with sponsor and team
Progress reviewed at mid-point and end

02 / 06

Trust established, not assumed

Team coaching creates the conditions for honest conversation that most meetings never reach, so trust builds through the work rather than around it.

Psychological safety built into the process

03 / 06

A certified team coach, well matched

Every team coach is certified by the ICF (PCC or MCC), ICC or EMCC and vetted by Edstellar. Meridian recommends; the sponsor and team choose.

Certified and vetted before they are recommended
A free discovery session before anyone commits

04 / 06

Decisions that stick

Teams that have worked through their decision-making patterns make better decisions, faster, and are less likely to revisit them in the corridor after the meeting.

Focus area for decision-making if needed
Shared agreements made visible and held

05 / 06

New teams that form faster

Team coaching compresses the time it takes for a new team to find its rhythm, establish trust and do meaningful work together.

Focus areas designed for newly formed teams
Sessions paced to match the team's stage

06 / 06

Cross-functional work that actually works

Teams that cross organizational lines often fail on relationships and agreements, not on capability. Team coaching builds the foundations that make the collaboration possible.

Focus area for collaboration across boundaries
Coach experienced with cross-functional teams

Meridian · how it runs

How an Edstellar team coaching program runs.

Six steps take the team from sponsor discovery to a review and re-diagnostic. Your sponsor sees progress at every step; what is said in sessions stays in the room. Team coaching on Meridian is coming soon.

Meridian gives the team the final sayTEAM DECIDES

Sponsor discovery

The sponsor meets the Edstellar coaching consultant to describe the team, the challenge and what success looks like. The focus area is agreed and the program is scoped.

STEP 1 OF 6SPONSOR AND EDSTELLAR

Team diagnostic

A short diagnostic with the team, either a survey or individual conversations, gives the coach a clear picture of the team's starting point before the first session.

STEP 2 OF 6COACH AND TEAM MEMBERS

Kickoff session

The coach meets the team, shares what the diagnostic found, agrees the focus area and the way of working for sessions together.

STEP 3 OF 6COACH AND FULL TEAM

Team coaching sessions

Facilitated sessions of 60 to 90 minutes on the agreed focus area. The team does the work; the coach holds the space and the process.

STEP 4 OF 6COACH AND FULL TEAM · LIVE

Actions between sessions

Each session ends with agreed actions the team takes back into their daily work. The coach follows up at the start of the next session.

STEP 5 OF 6TEAM BETWEEN SESSIONS

Review and re-diagnostic

At the end of the program, the team reviews progress against the focus area. A re-diagnostic measures what has changed and agrees the next step.
