CO.LAB
Team Coaching
Get the right people around the table.
Your team probably doesn't need another meeting.
They may need the space to step outside the day-to-day, talk honestly about what's happening, reconnect around what matters and decide how they're going to move forward together.
CO.LAB Team Coaching creates that space.
Christie works alongside your team as a facilitator, coach and outside perspective, helping you get the right things on the table and turn the conversation into clarity, alignment and action.
CLARITY • ALIGNMENT • COLLABORATION • ACTION
When everyone is working…
But it still isn’t working.
Your people can be talented, committed and working hard, and still struggle to move forward together. Priorities compete. Communication gets messy. Decisions stall. Change creates uncertainty. People get so focused on their own responsibilities that they lose sight of how the pieces fit together. Or everyone simply gets so busy doing the work that there isn't space to talk about how the work is working.
That's where CO.LAB Team Coaching comes in. This work can help when your team is:
Pulled in too many directions
Struggling to identify or communicate priorities
Preparing for growth or change
Working in silos instead of together
Having the same conversations without resolution
Unclear about goals, roles or next steps
Planning for a new quarter, year or initiative
Needing to reconnect around purpose and direction
Working hard without seeing enough meaningful progress
The goal isn't another meeting. It's a better way forward.
What do we put on the table?
Whatever your team actually needs to work through.
CO.LAB Team Coaching isn't a canned training program pulled off a shelf. We start with what's happening inside your organization and build the experience around the work your people need to do.
TEAM ALIGNMENT
Reconnect people around shared priorities, purpose and direction so everyone understands what matters and how their work contributes.
GOALS + PRIORITIES
Turn broad organizational goals into priorities people understand and actions they can own.
PLANNING + STRATEGY
Create space to step out of execution mode, think together and determine where you're going and what needs to happen next.
CHANGE + TRANSITION
Help your team process what's changing, identify what needs to remain true and determine how to move forward.
COMMUNICATION + COLLABORATION
Surface what's getting lost between people, roles or departments and create better ways to work together.
TEAM DEVELOPMENT
Strengthen how people understand themselves, one another and the way they contribute to the work.
We don’t start with answers.
We start with what’s actually happening.
We start with a simple 3-part framework:
AWARENESS
See it clearly
What's happening right now? We'll surface the challenges, patterns, perspectives and realities that need to be understood before your team starts trying to solve them.
ALIGNMENT
Get clear about what matters.
Where are you trying to go? What matters most? What needs agreement? Where are expectations, priorities or perspectives out of sync?
ACTION
Move forward together.
We'll turn what your team discovers into decisions, commitments and next steps that can carry beyond the room.
Awareness → Alignment → Action
Movement matters more when it's in the right direction.
BUILT AROUND YOUR TEAM.
NOT PULLED OFF A SHELF.
Some teams need a focused working session around one issue.
Others need a half-day to step away from daily demands and work through planning, alignment or strategy.
And sometimes the work is better served through a series of conversations over several weeks or months.
CO.LAB Team Coaching can take the form of:
Focused Team Sessions: A facilitated session built around a specific challenge, decision, goal or conversation.
Planning + Alignment Sessions : Dedicated working time for priorities, goals, annual or quarterly planning, new initiatives or organizational direction.
Team Workshops: Interactive learning experiences built around topics such as alignment, purpose, priorities, communication, burnout, change and action.
Ongoing Team Coaching: A series of sessions designed to help a team work through change, build new habits, maintain alignment and create accountability over time.
The format follows the need.
We'll determine the right structure after we understand what you're trying to accomplish.
This isn’t me talking at your team.
Your people are part of the work.
Team coaching gives your people space to work through what that idea means inside their organization. Expect:
Conversation
Questions
Reflection
Whiteboards and sticky notes
Ideas that get challenged
Things that finally get said
Decisions that get made
And clear next steps people can actually own
Your team won't just hear something. They'll work on something.
What can change when
the right things get on the table?
Teams can leave with:
Clearer priorities. A stronger understanding of what matters most.
Better alignment. Greater agreement around direction, expectations and goals.
More productive conversations. Language and space for discussing the things that affect the work.
Shared ownership. People understanding where they fit and what they are responsible for next.
Forward movement. Specific decisions, commitments and next steps.
The goal isn't to create a great conversation that ends when everyone leaves the room. It's to create clarity your team can carry back into the work.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
Teams doing work that matters.
CO.LAB Team Coaching can be designed for:
Leadership teams • Small business teams • Departments • Nonprofit organizations • Associations • Healthcare teams • Community organizations • Project teams • Boards • Emerging leaders
You don't have to be in crisis. In fact, some of the best time to get your people around the table is before things become a problem.
If your team is growing, changing, planning, recalibrating or simply ready to work better together, there's something worth putting on the table.
Meet Christie.
Hi, I’m Christie.
I’ve spent years working at the intersection of people, business, marketing, purpose and action… as a business owner, speaker, strategist, facilitator and coach.
One thing I've learned is that most organizational challenges aren't solved simply by asking people to work harder.
Sometimes people need space to see what's happening, reconnect with what matters and determine how to move forward together.
That's the role I play in the room. I don't come in assuming I know your organization better than you do.
You bring what you know about your people and your work.
I'll bring questions, perspective, frameworks, facilitation and an ability to help get what's swirling around the room onto the table where we can actually work with it.
Then we get to work.
Let’s build the right session.
Tell me what’s happening with your team.
Every team is different, which means every engagement starts with a conversation.
We'll talk about:
What's happening now • What you want to accomplish • Who needs to be involved • How much time we need • What format makes sense
From there, I'll recommend an approach and provide a proposal built around your team.
