Training and accreditation
Peter Hawkins systemic team coaching · ICF accredited · John Maxwell Team certifiedWhat we believe
A high-performing team is not the same as a high-value-creating team. Most leaders still confuse the two.
Conflict, often, isn't the problem. Unspoken conflict usually is. Teams need to learn how to disagree in ways that move the work forward.
If you can't define the measure of impact up front, you're not doing consulting. You're doing theatre.
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. Diagnostic-led. A structured three to six month engagement built on the five disciplines of systemic team coaching.
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.

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 engagements, de-identified for confidentiality.
Who's behind this
Fifteen years designing and delivering leadership development across government and private sector. Trained directly by Peter Hawkins, the leading authority on systemic team coaching. 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.
