Group coaching: masterclass for team performance

What would you give for an extra month every year?

If you can increase team performance by just 10%, that's a huge gain in capacity. You could spend it on: paying down technical debt; having the breathing room to hire and mentor junior staff; investing effort in longer term strategic initiatives; getting more projects done; or even just getting the same amount of work done, but at higher quality and less burnout.

Review, refresh and refine your skills

As a leader, your organisation needs you at your best, but finding the right level of professional development can be hard. Ideally you want training that:

can easily fit around your existing workload,
provides specific, and actionable learning,
is personalised to your needs, context and situation,
produces lasting change,
and represents good value for money.

We have designed our group coaching Masterclass offering to meet every single one of these best practice needs.

As part of a select small group, you will target eight areas affecting team performance over a three-month period. Your Blackmill coach will guide and facilitate the sessions, so that every member can explore their individual pain points. You will get to address actual challenges, gain new ideas from the group, and build a network of trusted peers.

What's included?

This three-month coaching program includes:

An industry-leading participant:coach ratio of no more than six:one, with two of our IECL certified coaches.
A balance of learning, action and accountability so you can make real progress.
An initial 30-minute one:one call to identify what you want to achieve, so the program can be tailored to the needs of the participants.
8x fortnightly online group coaching calls of 90 minutes, each one dedicated to a different area of team performance, with reflections and accountability a key component.
Access to a private space where the group can communicate outside of the coaching sessions.
Unlimited async access to your coach for the duration of the group coaching, via email or slack.
A wrap-up 30-minute one:one call to consolidate your learning and prepare your personal strategy for what’s next.
