TopTeams for Coaches

Why you need TopTeams

As a dedicated business coach, your role in transforming leaders and teams is crucial. You’re likely seeking innovative, evidence-based solutions that not only enhance individual performance but also drive collective success within teams.

In our 20+ of experience, we’ve noticed that being successful as a team coach is most often the result of your facilitation skills as a coach, your gut and experience. Sometimes this success can be achieved without a supporting framework or with a supporting framework that isn’t based on evidence. Entering into a coaching relationship with a team can be filled with uncertainty and not knowing if the coaching will be successful.

Recognising this gap, our ambition was to provide great coaches with an evidence-based model that increases the likelihood of a great outcome and reduces the uncertainty in the beginning. To realise this, we collaborated with Monash University in 2018 to create TopTeams—a comprehensive, evidence-based solution designed to transform ordinary groups into high-performing units.

The Benefits of TopTeams

Data-Driven Coaching and Clarity in Actions

“The process enabled us to open up about frustrations and share objectives, fostering honest communication that allows us to address issues collectively and learn from each other.”

Confidence in Outcomes

With a statistically robust causal model at its core, TopTeams gives you confidence that actions lead to desired outcomes. Clearly defined goals pursued collectively ensure greater effectiveness as a cohesive unit.

“With improved communication and openness, our team has become more agile and decisive, making clearer decisions without being overwhelmed by emotions.”

Broader Organisation Impact & Growth

We know that the greatest challenge you face is showing measurable ROI as a direct result of your work. Our approach stimulates teams to take action on improving how they work within themselves, with other teams, and with the broader organisation. Resulting in teams identifying the measurable business impact of becoming better, which means we can measure the TopTeams’ attributable improvement.
