Where Teams Come Alive: Introducing series 3 of the Teams Transformed podcast

What really happens inside a team coaching journey—and what can we learn when we step behind the scenes? In this episode of Teams Transformed, Georgina and Allard introduce series 3 of the podcast: Where Teams Come Alive. Building on the rich conversations from their Moments of Emergence series, this next chapter takes listeners deeper into the lived reality of team coaching through the lens of a composite team journey. Rather than presenting a neat, linear process, Georgina and Allard explore team coaching as something emergent, dynamic, and deeply human. They offer an honest look into the complexity, unpredictability, and relational challenges that arise when working with real teams—sharing not just what works, but what unfolds along the way.

Contact First: Creating the Conditions for Transformation with Matthew Broderick

Georgina and Allard are joined by Matthew Broderick, a coaching psychologist with RocheMartin who works with leaders and teams across Europe, the US, Africa, and the Middle East. With a passion for emotional intelligence and behaviour change, Matthew brings a deeply relational perspective to the conversation. Together, they explore the significance of contact and how genuine connection shapes coaching and leadership. The discussion reflects on how meaningful change depends on the relational ground we create—and how our inner state influences what becomes possible in the room. Inspired by the writings of John O’Donoghue, the conversation weaves together presence, emotional intelligence, and authentic human connection. You’ll discover: * Why meaningful transformation starts with genuine contact.  * How a coach or leader’s inner state influences team dynamics and outcomes.  * The role of emotional intelligence in deepening awareness and behaviour change.  * Why connection and relational safety are essential for growth and learning.  * Insights inspired by the work of John O’Donoghue and the power of presence.  This episode offers a rich reflection for coaches and leaders seeking to work more consciously, relationally, and authentically—recognising that what we bring into the field shapes what can emerge from it.

Letting the Moment Lead: Coaching Beyond the Agenda with Caroline Souto

In this episode, Georgina is joined by Caroline Souto, a PCC and ACTC-certified coach with over 15 years’ experience in leadership, innovation, and team development across 14 countries. Based in Brazil and a faculty member and global partner with TCS, Caroline brings a rich, global perspective to emergent coaching—grounded in deep presence, observation, and trust. Together, they explore small moments of emergence that create big impact, where what’s happening in the here and now shapes the direction of the conversation, rather than a predetermined agenda. Caroline shares how her practice has evolved from diagnosing and fixing to being fully present with teams, allowing real needs (like fatigue or unspoken tension) to surface and guide meaningful dialogue. You’ll discover: * How emergence shows up in subtle but powerful moments during team coaching.  * Why letting go of rigid agendas can unlock deeper connection and insight.  * How to create the conditions - trust, safety, and awareness - for emergence to unfold.  * The impact of your way of being as a coach, and how presence itself becomes an intervention.  * Why observation, patience, and inner work are essential to transformational coaching.  This episode is a compelling invitation for team coaches and leaders to trust the process, work with what’s truly happening, and recognise that even the smallest shifts in awareness can lead to profound change.

Georgina and Allard are joined by Jason Leunberger, sharing his powerful insights from a six-month team coaching engagement within a large, complex organisation.

Kantor to the Rescue: What to do when teams get stuck with special guests Nick Regan and Henrik Herrmann

In this episode of Teams Transformed, Allard is joined by Nick Regan and Henrik Herrmann to explore how holding models and frameworks lightly can enable skillful, in-the-moment interventions. Reflecting on a workshop with a newly formed executive team, they share how they navigated uncertainty when plans fell short and the group got stuck in repetitive patterns. Nick Regan, an ICF-certified leadership and team coach and Accredited Professional Dialogue Practitioner, and Henrik Herrmann, a senior executive coach and founder of True Work with 15+ years of corporate leadership experience, offer practical insights for working with complex teams. They unpack how tuning into group dynamics—and subtly using frameworks like the Kantor Model—helped surface what was happening and guided the team leader to shift the energy toward alignment. You’ll discover: * How to use models like the Kantor Model without becoming overly reliant on them.  * What to do when a team gets stuck in unproductive or repetitive dynamics.  * The power of co-coaching in navigating uncertainty and supporting real-time intervention.  * How raising awareness of team patterns can unlock movement and alignment.  * The value of offering in-the-moment individual feedback within team sessions.  This episode is a practical and insightful guide for team coaches and leaders looking to balance structure with flexibility—using frameworks as a support, not a script, while staying fully present to what’s emerging in the moment. https://ici2learn.com [https://ici2learn.com] https://skillfulcollaboration.com [https://skillfulcollaboration.com] https://truework.de [https://truework.de/]
