Team Coaching Research Projects

Grow Talent is conducting independent research into how teams work, collaborate and adapt. These projects are designed to uncover practical insights that can support more effective team coaching and organisational performance.

What We’re Exploring

At Grow Talent, we’re investigating the real experiences of people working in teams, particularly in the context of change. Our goal is to understand the practical dynamics of team collaboration and what it truly means to be a team coach in today’s environment.

These studies aim to answer key questions, including:

How do individuals experience working in a team?

What impact does coaching have on cohesion and collaboration?

How does the role of a team coach evolve over time?

What enables teams to flex and adapt without friction?

Rooted in evidence-based coaching work and grounded in real organisational challenges, our research bridges the gap between experience and theory.

Our purpose is to offer insights that can be used immediately by coaches, leaders and teams.

About The Research Projects

Our studies are self-funded and led by a desire to explore, test and share. They are collaborative investigations designed to make a difference in real workplaces.

Whether you’re a coach, team leader or team member, your voice can help shape the direction of these studies.

What Our Clients Are Saying

As a manager I’m over the belief that the manager needs to solve the team’s problems or challenges. We’re adults and capable of enabling each other to find solutions to our challenges. And as a Team, finding solutions together, that work for the team.

To do this, I needed a little help. This is where Ro came in.

Ro demonstrated how we as a team can use a coaching style, naturally, daily, and have focused Team Coaching sessions – to address our Big Rocks (challenges).

Ro’s ability to “stay out of the content” and coach teams is a real gift, and she does this with humour, putting everyone at ease.

Now the real work begins, as we continue our Team Coaching approach. The verdict: we’re all converted!

Its a little hard to describe what Ro does, but the results speak for themselves: getting the best out of me managing my staff. Asking the right questions at the right time seems like the stupidest thing to say in a recommendation of someone so skilled and articulate, but Ro makes it seamless in the conversation so it looks like she’s just having a chat. I’ve come away from many 121’s, meeting and sessions with a better sense of what I need to do and what is the important point – and often also how I need to complete the task I was struggling with. Thank you again Ro – you’re fabulous at what you do.
