Today, Georgina and Allard take listeners behind the scenes of the early stages of a team coaching engagement session. Following their initial conversations with HR sponsor Sarah, they debrief their first meeting with the executive team at the fictional organisation, Acme Inc. and begin making sense of what they're noticing.

A strong sense of urgency runs through the team, alongside a genuine commitment to becoming more cohesive. As Georgina and Allard reflect on the session, they explore what was shared openly, what remained beneath the surface, and how these early interactions begin to build trust, ownership, and psychological safety.

You'll discover:

• Why engagement sessions are a critical part of the team coaching journey.
• How small observations can reveal important team dynamics.
• What coaches listen for when assessing readiness for change.
• How psychological safety begins to develop from the very first meeting.
• Why the whole team—not just the leader or sponsor—must own the coaching process.

Georgina and Allard also reflect on their co-coaching partnership and what it reveals about the wider system, offering practical insights for anyone interested in how teams come alive through coaching.
