How much work do we get done isolation? And how much with others? The bulk of the impact we achieve at work is done as part of a team, andthe more complex the challenges, the better we need to be at being a part of a team. But great teams don’t happen by accident. We’ve all been in team situations that make us cringe or even cry. So what needs to happen to get a team working really, really well?
Team coaching is an intentional way to invest in a team, how they interact, how they work, decide, agree, create, lead. It’s a relatively new discipline, and this talk is designed to share a framework of how investing team coaching can hugely increase the impact that your team, particularly leadership teams, can have.
This webinar with Fi Craig is certainly suitable for anyone who works in a team (i.e. everyone!) but perhaps most relevant to directors, founders, team leaders and L&D practitioners.

Setting up a business involves making many key decisions.
Something most tech founders will have in common is whether to choose a low/no code option or the traditional software development route.
Traditional development requires building an experienced tech team – a bespoke build can be time consuming and expensive but likely offers better infrastructure in the long-term.
On the other hand, low code development can be more accessible with user-friendly frameworks and AI tools- but does it offer the level of flexibility, scalability and security you need for your product?
