Team Alignment
What if the biggest thing holding your team back isn't the business?
Having spent years building companies and working with entrepreneurs, I've seen how much of what happens in a business comes down to the people involved.
Someone has a brilliant idea but doesn't dare to share it. Someone else feels unheard and gradually stops contributing. Difficult conversations are postponed, small frustrations build up and people start making assumptions about one another.
It's easy to approach these situations as problems with communication, processes or organizational structure. Sometimes they are. But I'm increasingly interested in what's happening underneath.
What are people afraid of? What do they need but struggle to express? And what might change if everyone understood themselves, and each other, a little better?
Working with individuals and the team
I don't believe one workshop, however inspiring, is usually enough to create lasting change.
That's why Team Alignment combines individual conversations, in-person workshops and shared follow-up.
Individual conversations
We begin with individual online conversations to understand each person's perspective, what matters to them and how they experience working in the team.
I treat individual conversations as confidential and won't bring someone's personal experiences into the group without their agreement. If something important comes up, I'll encourage the person to raise it themselves and help create space for that conversation.
Workshops and shared experiences
We then meet in person for facilitated workshops and shared experiences.
My role is to create a space where people feel comfortable contributing, listening and discussing things that may not usually get talked about.
Depending on the team, we might work with conversations, reflection, practical exercises or other shared experiences. The content is shaped around the people involved and what we discover along the way.
Follow-up and integration
After the group experience, we schedule a few follow-up sessions together as a team to continue the work. We revisit what came up, explore how things have developed and discuss how to bring the insights into everyday communication, decisions and collaboration.
The process can be adapted to the team and the situation.
Before working with personal development, I spent years building and leading companies, including growing Aimfor to a team of 23 people. I've also invested in companies and served on several boards. I've experienced both the excitement of building something together and how complicated working relationships can become.
Who I work with
I'm particularly drawn to founders, leadership teams and organizations that genuinely want to contribute something positive to the world.
I love entrepreneurship and the extraordinary ability people have to create things together. But I also believe that what we choose to build, and how we treat people along the way, matters.
My hope is to help teams create an environment where more people feel comfortable contributing, speaking openly and taking responsibility for the way they work together.
