Leadership team coaching
Most teams know what's in the way. They just don't say it in the room. The Alignment Read asks each person privately, then we sit down with what they said and work out what to change.
Training and credentials
Trained under Peter Hawkins (AoEC) · ICF ACC credentialed coach · John Maxwell Team certifiedSound familiar
Every one of your leaders runs their own function well. Nobody owns the work that falls between them.
The same issue comes back every quarter wearing a different name, and the real disagreement never gets said in the room.
You've tried the offsite, the personality profiles, the restructure. Nothing stuck, because the problem sits in how the team works together, not in any one person on it.
Where to start
Start here · Team diagnostic
Your team answers anonymously. You get an honest written read on where the team is genuinely aligned and where alignment is being assumed, then sixty minutes with me on what to do about it. $1,500 per team. Standalone, or the start of the deeper work.
The deeper work
For leadership teams that want to stop operating as a group of individuals. Three to six months with you and your team, starting from what the Read found. Typically $10,000 to $25,000, with outcomes agreed up front.
See team coaching →For individual leaders
For senior leaders (Director, Head of, GM, executive) who want a structure that holds them to their own standard. Six sessions over twelve weeks, from $2,000.

Decisions now made in the room and held afterwards.
A leadership team that avoided disagreement in the moment, with decisions unravelling in corridor conversations afterwards. Built shared conflict norms.
Moved from parallel effort to genuine alignment.
A leadership team busy but pulling in different directions, with ownership of priorities implicit rather than agreed. Clarified the mandate, translated it into explicit priorities and ownership.
Partners moved from blockers to collaborators.
A leadership team treating cross-functional stakeholders as demands to manage, not partners to co-create with. Mapped what partners actually needed versus what they'd asked for, redesigned the engagement.
Selected work, de-identified.
Who's behind this
Fifteen years designing and delivering leadership development across the private sector and government. Trained under Peter Hawkins (AoEC), the leading authority on systemic team coaching. ICF ACC credentialed coach. The diagnostic, the report, and the debrief are all written and held by James personally. There is no associate model.
Twenty minutes on a call, or $1,500 for the honest picture on paper. Either way, you stop guessing.
