Leadership team coaching and facilitation Inga MichaelsenLeadership team collaborating and working together toward a shared goal

Where to start

Every team and context is different. These four starting points are designed for different moments — each one focused, time-bound, and practical.

Not sure which one fits? Start with a conversation, and we'll figure it out together.

One Meeting. Better.

When you want to experience the work before committing to more

This might be for you if:

  • You're curious about this kind of support but want to see it in action before committing

  • You sense something isn't working in how your team operates, but can't quite put your finger on it

  • You want an outside perspective on your team's dynamics without a large investment

  • You're considering a longer engagement and want to start small

What it includes:

  • Pre-meeting conversation with the team leader

  • Live coaching presence during one real team meeting

  • Debrief with the team leader afterward

  • Written observations and practical recommendations

Sometimes the best way to know if something is worth investing in is to try it.

I join one of your existing team meetings as a coach and observer. I don't run the meeting — you do. I watch how the team operates, notice what's helping and what's getting in the way, and offer coaching in the moment where it's useful. Afterward, we debrief — what I observed, what the team might want to pay attention to, and what could shift if they did.

One meeting. Real work. Immediate insight.

When decisions are stalling

Clear Decisions. Clear Ownership.

This might be for you if:

  • Decisions get made in meetings but don't seem to stick afterward

  • It's unclear who owns what — or who has the authority to decide

  • The same issues keep coming back to the table

  • Accountability exists on paper but is uneven in practice

  • Your team is cross-functional and alignment across functions is inconsistent

Typical outcomes:

  • Clearer decision pathways and less second-guessing

  • Stronger ownership and follow-through

  • Reduced friction and rework

  • More confident, timely decisions

Format:

  • 2–3 hour facilitated session

  • Grounded in real decisions and current work

  • Clear agreements and next steps at the end

When decisions keep getting revisited, ownership is unclear, or follow-through keeps breaking down — this session gets to the root of it.

This isn't about introducing new frameworks or processes. It works directly with your team's real decisions and priorities. Through facilitated conversation inside a live meeting, teams surface where decisions stall, where accountability blurs, and what's needed to move forward with confidence.

When You Want to See Your Team's Strengths & Blind Spots

Team Pulse Check

A light-touch diagnostic designed to help leaders understand what’s helping—and hindering—their team.

Through brief conversations and/or a short survey, patterns begin to surface: where communication is working, where it’s thinning, and what’s quietly getting in the way. These insights are then brought back to the team in a facilitated debrief that supports shared understanding and practical next steps—without putting individuals on the spot.

This is often useful during periods of growth, transition, or after a shift in roles or expectations, when the team senses something has changed but hasn’t yet named it.

This might be for you if:

  • Tension or disengagement is present but not yet understood

  • The team has been through change and hasn't fully recalibrated

  • You want an honest outside perspective before investing in something larger

Typical outcomes:

  • Clearer understanding of what's helping and what's getting in the way

  • Reduced assumptions and unspoken tension

  • Increased trust and openness

  • Agreed practical next steps the whole team owns

Format:

  • Brief conversation with the team leader

  • Short survey or individual conversations with team members

  • Synthesis of key themes and patterns

  • Facilitated team debrief session

30-Day Leadership Support Intensive

Some moments call for immediate, focused support — not a program, not a long process, just steady, skilled presence alongside the leader and team when it matters most.

This short engagement blends leadership coaching with facilitation inside real team meetings. The goal is simple: help the leader and team stay grounded, think clearly together, and move forward — without adding more to an already full plate.

When pressure is high, and support is needed now

This might be for you if:

  • Your team is navigating a significant transition, restructure, or period of uncertainty

  • Pressure is high, and the quality of decision-making and conversation is suffering

  • The leader is carrying more than is sustainable

  • You need support now, but aren't ready to commit to a longer engagement

  • Reactivity, tension, or fatigue is starting to affect how the team works together

Typical outcomes:

  • Clearer priorities and decisions

  • Improved quality of leadership conversations

  • Reduced reactivity under pressure

  • Steadier, more grounded leadership presence

Format:

  • Two 1:1 coaching conversations with the team leader

  • Two facilitated leadership team sessions embedded in existing meetings

  • Light follow-up to support integration

We typically start small and adjust based on what's emerging. The goal is not to follow a set program — it's to support the work in a way that's timely, grounded, and effective.
