Case Study:

Strengthening Communication and Collaboration in a Senior Leadership Team

Client Background

A senior leadership team within a large organization engaged in a year-long coaching program to improve alignment, collaboration, and leadership effectiveness.

The Challenge

The team wanted to strengthen how they worked together by clarifying roles, improving communication, and building trust. With strong personalities and complex dynamics at play, they needed support to create healthier ways of collaborating and leading.

The Approach

I designed a program of monthly team coaching sessions combined with individual coaching for selected leaders. Key activities included:

  1. Enhancing Communication

    • Facilitated workshops on feedback and active listening, including creative techniques such as LEGO® Serious Play to encourage open, constructive dialogue.

  2. Understanding Leadership Styles

    • Introduced DISC assessments to help the team understand different personality styles, improve empathy, and adapt their approaches to one another.

  3. Exploring Team Behaviors

    • Delivered a “team toxins” workshop to identify unhelpful behaviors, uncover the drivers behind them, and promote more constructive alternatives.

  4. Individual Coaching

    • Supported several leaders one-to-one, helping them build confidence, strengthen self-awareness, and better align with team goals.

The Results

The engagement created a range of positive outcomes for the leadership team and its members:

  • Leaders gained deeper awareness of their own and others’ communication styles

  • Tensions were surfaced and addressed in a constructive way

  • Team members reported feeling supported, more confident, and better equipped to collaborate effectively

  • The team experienced genuine moments of connection, reflection, and shared growth
