In this second part of my conversation with Dr Alison Hodge, we dive further into the territory of team coaching. I hope you find it as thrilling, fun and eye-opening as I did.
Some of the points we explore are how to use or apply the map to:

*Identify the dynamic forces at play on the team and organisation
*Invite nature into the conversation
*Navigate your terrain as a team coach during a client engagement
*Share the map with your client to define where to start an engagement
*Develop yourself and your clients’ capacity to be with the emergent
*Allow ourselves to be with the magic of life itself
*Create dialogue and a unified field for the team coaching profession

Scaling Leadership Through Teams

109: Dr. Ruth Wageman and Dr. Krister Lowe: Nautilus Rediscovered

For businesses, big and small, one reality is an ever-growing workforce that is very mobile and could be based anywhere. Another reality is organizations becoming more team-based structures. This provides both opportunities and challenges to scaling leadership. Especially with different teams working in different time zones, with some team members working partial hours.

Virtual team coaching can help to effectively and quickly scale leadership in a geographically dispersed organization. For companies moving at pace, virtual team coaching can help leadership teams to map out where cross-collaboration needs to happen and create the virtual conditions for shared leadership to emerge and continuously improve.
If you are a business leader or team coach looking to expand your understanding of how to go about using virtual team coaching to scale shared leadership listen to my conversation with Mary Connors in this episode of the Team Coaching Zone podcast.

Mary is an expert in large scale organizational change and virtual team leadership with a passion for bringing people together to achieve results globally.

112: Mary Connors: On Coaching Virtual Teams and Team of Teams

In this episode Alison Cameron, an internationally acclaimed transformation strategist and I talk about what it takes to guide team leaders in enabling organisational evolution. I'm interested, how do we ourselves as team coaches, better understand what it takes to help our clients adapt their ways of working and worldview.

Alison's work has taken her from the boardrooms of large, multinational corporations working with leaders in business, politics and not-for-profit sectors, to leading social transformation initiatives around the world. She is the co-founder of Adaptive Cultures, a growing global community of leaders and culture practitioners working with many of the world’s most complex and influential organisations. Adaptive Cultures diagnostic instruments and methodologies have been endorsed and implemented by a number of teams going through significant transformations.

We start our conversation talking about where she lives surrounded by mountains and a verdant tropical backdrop in Australia, and her own fascinating transformation journey which started in Alison's early teens and took her to be on stage with Nelson Mandela, the Dalai Lamai and other respected world leaders. It's a moving story which she has never shared before and sets the tone for our conversation.

Here's what we talk about in addition to Alison's own story
- awakening and being called to a higher purpose
- working with living systems as a leadership and team coach
- the need to do the inner work as a practitioner
- developing adaptive capacity and agility in organisations
- how to identify the different stages of cultural evolution
- the critical importance of structure in nurturing potential
- tips for team coaches working inside organisations

I’m very excited to be joined in this episode on The Team Coaching Zone by Andres Roberts, the founder of the Bio-Leadership Project and co-founder of Way of Nature. Andres’ TEDx talk How Would Nature Change Leadership? – quickly made its way onto the global TED platform within weeks of giving the talk. Andres is on a mission to reinvent leadership to be more like nature. He believes we are at ‘sliding doors’ moment in time, in which humanity has the challenge and the opportunity to rewrite the rules of collective progress in history. He argues rather than battling with the old operating systems, making nature our guide might be the most important innovation of our times. Andres left the world of big organisations early on in his career. He has worked and learnt with elders and teachers from around the world, as well as first class partners in organisational learning and development. Andres works with institutions such as Patagonia, the World Benchmarking Alliance and the Amani Institute.

In episode #124 I begin by asking Andres to share his earliest memories of being in nature. We also venture into:
*What inspired Andres to make leadership and nature his life’s work
*The Bio-Leadership project as a global movement for change
*Three threads woven into the Bio-Leadership philosophy
*How some companies are applying the model to reinvent their future
*How it could inform Team Coaches grappling with a transformation agenda
