Teams in turnaround
We work with teams in challenging situations where results are not where they need to be or teams are not working well together, in spite of being very talented.
We help them refocus on results, rebuild trust, resolve conflict and take productive action that moves them forward as a team.

We help them refocus on results, rebuild trust, resolve conflict and take action as a team.
Working with teams in these situations, we find five common behaviours identified by Patrick Lencioni which are major obstacles to team success:
- Distrust of each other so they do not work together for the good of the team
- Fear of conflict, often resulting from distrust, leading to avoidance of issues and decision-making
- Lack of commitment because they do not feel their opinion has been considered
- Avoidance of personal and team accountability because they have not agreed to the team standards of operation
- Inattention to results because team members do not feel sufficiently engaged and committed to what the team is setting out to achieve
Often, teams are made of talented individuals but when need to work as a collective, the result can be disappointing. By identifying exactly where this team is stuck, as team coaches we unlock any blockage and get the team back on track, re-energised and re-focussed on delivering what they are truly capable of achieving together.
Our team diagnostic helps to identify the real issues and true capability within the team and in turn, enables leaders to fast-track business team performance. It provides insight to guide leaders in how to get the best from the different team players, and how to unlock the collective capability to execute the strategy.
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.

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.
