Seminars & team coaching
Team coaching
For a team that no longer decides, two departments passing responsibility back and forth, or a group reshaped after an acquisition. Where a seminar settles one question in two days, team coaching changes a way of working over four to six months.
What you will be able to do
- Give the team a shared objective
- Give the work meaning and motivate the team
- Strengthen team cohesion
Programme
Diagnosis
- Confidential one-to-one interviews with each member of the team
- Observation of a real team meeting
- Read-back to the sponsor and then to the team: the same read-back, with no softened version
Working sessions
- Three to five group sessions, on real subjects rather than on exercises
- Work on how decisions get made: consensus, consultation, arbitration, and who chooses the mode
- DISC or the Enneagram introduced where the friction is primarily relational
Rules and follow-up
- The team writes its own working rules, few in number and checkable
- Follow-up session at three months, then at six
- A conversation with the leader on what now rests with them alone
What this coaching gives you
Team coaching is a collective engagement with tailored content, built around the sponsor’s objective. It works on how the group functions rather than on what it decides that day.
It is the right format when the problem is a recurring pattern: the same disagreement coming back, decisions that do not survive the corridor, a team whose members perform individually but not together.
Why the length matters here
Mauritian teams are stable and people work alongside each other for years. A pattern that would dissolve in a large organisation persists here, because the same people are in the room every week and will still be there next year.
That makes the longer format worthwhile: no reorganisation will solve it for you. Engagements are usually scheduled outside the high season, so that the intermediate sessions do not get dropped one after another.
Questions about this training
How is this different from a seminar?
A seminar is a moment. Team coaching is a sequence: several sessions spread over four to six months, with real work in between. The aim is a change in how the team functions, which no single day produces.
How long does the engagement last?
Usually four to six months. Sessions are spaced so that what is decided in one can be tested in real work before the next.
Who sets the objective?
The sponsor, at the start and in writing. The content is then built around that objective rather than taken off the shelf, and progress is reviewed against it.
Is it suitable for a family-run group?
It is a frequent case in Mauritius, and one of the most useful. When informal authority does not follow the organisation chart and the people involved meet outside work, a longer sequence works better than a one-off workshop, which closes again as soon as people leave the room.
