Team development
Goals can be achieved with a group of people, among whom specific roles, tasks, and deadlines are shared. Creating a team, bringing it to a good cooperation phase and maintaining it requires effort from everyone, especially the leader, but also the members, which is why it is a time- and resource-intensive activity. But teams are more successful than groups.
A team is necessary when it comes to:
When tasks or projects are complex and require a combination of different experiences, knowledge and skills.
solving complex problems
Teams are often able to generate more ideas and solutions because different people bring different perspectives and experiences.

Team coaching
Team coaching is a process in which a coach works with an entire team to improve cooperation, communication and results.
This is a long-term process (minimum 4, usually 6 months) focused on continuous development and improvement. Preliminary meetings with the manager as well as the personal input of team members between sessions are important in the process.
Team coaching focuses on the whole team, not individual members. This means that the coach works with the whole team to help them achieve common goals.
A holistic approach
The coach helps the team define clear goals and works with them to find the best ways to achieve them.
Setting and achieving goals

Team/group supervision
Group supervision focuses on a small group of people who work together or share similar tasks and goals. The method can also be used for teams. The following are important in the process:

Team trainings
Just as each person is special, so is each team with unique needs and expectations. Having been a top leader myself for a long time, I know that even a team consisting of the same people needs customized training or other development activities at different times and in case of specific problems. I am helpful in identifying specific training needs and in developing the training needed for your team. You can find ideas on which topics I support the team in the TRAINING subsection.
