We founded Collaborative Coaching after facilitating hundreds of focus groups, interviews, training sessions, and team interventions with thousands of employees and leaders. Over and over again, we heard and experienced similar themes about human dynamics at work that interfered with collaboration, meaningful interactions, inspiring leadership, or aligned action. We realized that workplaces could only be as high-functioning as the people who lead them – and collaboration can only be as effective as the human dynamics that drives it. What distinguishes good from great organizations is their ability to create and maintain collaborative, deliberately developmental cultures where creativity and collective intelligence prosper. We founded Collaborative Coaching in 2009 with a focus on getting the human aspects of these challenges right.
