Every team moves through distinct stages of growth - but how can coaches skillfully guide them through each one?

In this episode of Teams Transformed, Georgina and Allard explore a refreshingly simple yet powerful model of team development, inspired by Gestalt theory and the work of the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland. Moving beyond the familiar Tuckman framework, they introduce a three-phase approach: beginnings (orientation and inclusion), middles (differentiation and constructive conflict), and endings (cohesion and integration).

You’ll discover:

• What each stage feels like for team members, and the psychological needs present at each phase.
• How to create psychological safety early on to set a strong foundation.
• Why healthy conflict in the middle stages is essential for growth and innovation.
• Ways to support endings so teams can integrate learning and move forward stronger.
• Practical strategies for applying this framework in both single sessions and ongoing coaching journeys.

Join us for rich insights and real-world examples that help coaches, leaders, and facilitators recognise where their teams are—and how to meet them there with purpose and awareness.

What if the real technology for change in team coaching isn’t found in new tools or frameworks—but in the meta skills you bring to the room?

In this episode of Teams Transformed, Georgina and Allard introduce the three core meta skills that underpin powerful, transformational work with teams: presence, use of self, and active experiments.

You’ll discover:

• Why these higher-order skills are the foundation of effective team coaching.
• How to work more impactfully in the moment by drawing on presence and use of self.
• Practical ways to run active experiments that shift unhelpful patterns.
• Why meta skills matter more than techniques when it comes to lasting transformation.

Through real-world stories and practical examples, this conversation highlights how meta skills equip coaches, leaders, and facilitators to help teams learn, adapt, and grow together—no matter what challenges arise.

What happens when coaches and teams stop trying to control the process and start leaning into uncertainty instead?

In this episode of Teams Transformed, Georgina and Allard explore the challenges and profound opportunities that emerge when we let go of rigid agendas and embrace present-moment work. Through vivid metaphors, personal stories, and research, they reveal how uncertainty isn’t something to fear - it’s a powerful entry point for awareness, connection, and transformation.

You’ll discover:

• Why identifying the unspoken needs of a team can often unlock deeper collaboration.
• How shifting from scripted control to attuned presence creates real movement.
• The role of awareness in expanding what’s possible for a team.
• Practical ways to let possibilities emerge, rather than forcing outcomes.

This conversation invites leaders, coaches, and facilitators to see uncertainty not as chaos, but as an opportunity for teams to truly grow and learn together.
