Working with teams

The team coach works closely with the leader and team to agree its purpose, clarify what it wants to achieve, understand key processes and team capabilities.

Our work together helps improve how they manage conflict, make decisions and monitor their own progress. Every team member needs to feel accountable for the overall success of the team.

We use a practical, results-focused and rigorous process to transform teams from poorly coordinated and disconnected, to high performing, highly engaged and motivated.

Client successes:

At Pure Potential, we firmly believe that our clients are at the heart of everything that we do. Of course there are similarities between the work that we do with individuals, teams and organisations, but every challenge is unique and the best way we can give an understanding of what these are, and how we have met those challenges, is to share some of our many success stories….

The new stretching targets were exceeded in the first year through a significant, top-down cultural change led by this executive team which became a model centre of excellence for the global organisation.

Team Europe

Quarterly revenue and margins significantly increased; a more disciplined, organised and focussed team that was more respected internally and externally.

The highly experienced functional leaders became a highly collaborative, re-energised and empowered executive team, rather than working in silos as they had previously. The business returned to growth.

You leave the team in a much stronger state than when you joined us...

Having you participate in the Team has really been very valuable. Having an impartial referee who has the right level of “presence” and gravitas calling out where things are working well as well as challenging us has enabled us to take our weaknesses onboard rather than skipping over the issues and not addressing it. Thank you for your tenacity and sticking to the challenging task in hand – you leave the team in a much stronger state than when you joined us – Thank You !!

A huge improvement in the team motivation and business results.

Olwyn gave us honest feedback, came with clear ideas and she had a fantastic approach. We made good progress on my side and on my team’s side. I had a much better relationship with my team, detecting tensions and I have been able to reorganize the right way. A huge improvement in the team motivation and business results.

...galvanize my management team around our vision and set a clear mission for the business

“My coaching engagement with Olwyn provided me with an opportunity to step away from the business periodically and discuss both my personal and business agenda to drive improvement in the strategy. A good example of her value to us was a workshop that she facilitated to galvanize my management team around our vision and set a clear mission for the business and this was very well done.”

She is an expert when it comes to the principles of leadership

Olwyn became my executive coach when I was promoted to SVP Corporate Sales & Marketing at Panduit. I was a newly appointed member of the Executive Leadership team reporting into the CEO. Olwyn was instrumental in supporting the development of my team and organization. She helped me to become a very effective leader. The end result was a highly performing team that made significant impact to the overall business results. The CEO was amazed in my transformation and that is down to Olwyn. She has a very clever insight into determining your development needs and assisting you to improve them. She is extremely professional and has great experience of working with many senior executives and she is an expert when it comes to the principles of leadership. The time I spent with Olwyn was incredibly valuable and at the same time very enjoyable. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
