Team Coaching - Essex & London
What is Team Coaching?
Teams have a common purpose, and often goals that they strive to achieve. The team members have various skills which they are often jointly responsible for. With the right coach, a team can become more than the sum of its parts and flourish.
My team coaching improves your team’s sense of shared purpose and performance, by unlocking the team’s potential. I create an environment conducive to collective learning, which facilitates an authentic reflective dialogue. The team explores their dynamics, organisational values, ensuring alignment with the team’s purpose, gaining clarity regarding aims and objectives, and understanding what success looks like, whist retaining their personal authenticity.
Team coaching works with the team as a system as opposed to a collection of individuals, which builds trust and meaningful collaborations. Understanding the complexity of hierarchy and dynamics improves working relationships and increases performance. The team starts ‘working as a team’, culminating in team members routinely putting the team priorities ahead of their own personal priorities.
Team coaching can be an intensive and effective intervention in the pursuit of shared objectives and alignment. Initially we define where the team is, where it needs to be and the movement that is required. We establish the team focus, working on individual and team strengths, not looking for obvious ‘problem solving’ solutions.
My philosophy to team coaching is to use ‘appreciative inquiry’, a strength based positive approach to team development and organisational change. Appreciative inquiry recognises the best in people and organisations by affirming historical and current strengths, successes and potentials, which encourages people and organisations towards a personal or joint destiny.

Dan provided clarity, direction, and accountability, which may seem simple, but was incredibly impactful. When I began working with him, I lacked direction and satisfaction in my daily life, but in just two months, Dan helped me gain a better understanding of my sources of happiness and motivation, and how to improve my personal and professional life. Thank you Dan

What is Executive Coaching?
I work with executives to help them become aware of their behaviour and its impact, unlock their potential, visualise goals, achieve their objectives and hold them to account. My coaching involves both increasing performance, personal and organisational wellbeing. What action is required to maximise your potential and achieve your performance goals?
Whether you are a business or charity executive, I can support your decision making, establish priorities, improve performance, develop leadership skills, manage staff, and increase productivity. I can support your professional relationships and communication. I facilitate unlocking your potential, so you can maximise your performance.
Executive Coaching can incorporate Leadership Coaching. Leadership is about how influential you are, how you can ensure other people and teams reach their potential to achieve objectives and goals. Leadership involves creating a vision, communicating and encouraging people to join them in achieving it. Leaders are inspirational and empower their teams to achieve goals. My leadership coaching builds on your skills by developing your communication, and decision-making ability.
I have the knowledge and expertise to help you develop your leadership skills, whether you’re working within an organisation or for yourself. Working with you to set goals and review your progress regularly, I’ll offer accountability and guidance to help you hone your skills. You can develop your own coaching skills so you can support your team.
Why Dan?
I left a successful corporate career behind to become a coach, improve the quality of my life and help you. I feel all of my life experiences have funnelled me towards becoming a coach. I have the skills, knowledge and experience to coach you.
“Dan is very experienced in the corporate world; he understands the pressures and is therefore able to relate very well. What he brings to the table is a magic mix of positive psychology and behavioural mentoring with an action oriented approach. Importantly he operates with zero BS. His own life experiences are inspiring, he is a man who practices what he preaches, I thoroughly admire both who he is and what he has helped me achieve.”
