This month, we’re taking the opportunity to reflect and learn within our own team. We’ve also got a lot to celebrate! As we head into the holidays, we want to wish you a December full of celebration. We are excited about what 2025 has in store for your teams and look forward to partnering with you in the new year. Let’s build better teams in 2025. Karen, Kerrin, Kirstie & Elaine

By celebrating the right moments, in the right way, you create a culture of recognition that fosters growth, collaboration, and a sense of belonging among your team. Here’s how you can effectively celebrate with your team: What to Celebrate ▪️First Wins: Celebrate when a team achieves something for the first time, especially when taking on new responsibilities. This boosts confidence and encourages continued growth. ▪️Above and Beyond: Recognise when team members go above and beyond to help each other, such as covering a colleague's workload. ▪️Values Hero: Celebrate when team members exemplify company values in their work, reinforcing the behaviours you want to encourage. ▪️Shining Star: Acknowledge when a team member delivers outstanding results on a key project, whether a big milestone or a crucial decision. ▪️Hidden Gem: Recognise employees who consistently contribute to the team’s success, even if their tasks are not glamorous but essential. ▪️When was the last time you celebrated a success?

Are you making the most of opportunities to celebrate your team - both their progress and successes? There are so many benefits to taking time to celebrate with your team. It recognises and appreciates achievement, showcases strengths, builds a sense of belonging and connects the team to its bigger ‘why’. It reinforces what matters to the organisation, and deepens culture. Pausing to celebrate provides a moment to acknowledge the distance the team has travelled and where it has gone. It also galvanises the team to keep moving and look ahead to their ‘next.’ #teamcoaching #buildingbetterteams #TeamSuccess 

Effective learning programmes build employee confidence and prepare them for growth, but traditional approaches often fall short. Collaborative learning offers a powerful alternative by leveraging internal knowledge and fostering connections across teams. Why does collaborative learning matter for teams? When teams intentionally learn and grow together they develop a growth mindset and confidence in their ability to unlearn and relearn. Team coaching is a collective learning experience, giving the team an opportunity to work ON the team, rather than merely IN the team. The impact? Teams benefit from improved knowledge sharing, faster upskilling, and build readiness to meet challenges with confidence. Collaborative learning transforms internal expertise into a competitive advantage.

In today’s always-on, high-performance workplace, pausing to reflect might be challenging but it can be a game-changer. Reflective thinking can help individuals and teams unlock clarity and foster meaningful progress. One powerful approach to reflection is the MAGIC method: 1️⃣ Mirror Start by assessing the team’s current situation. What’s working? What could be improved? Recognise your collective achievements to boost confidence, and pinpoint areas for growth with kindness and self-compassion. 2️⃣ Aspirations Look ahead and define aspirations. What does success look like for the team? 3️⃣ Goals Break those aspirations into actionable, time-bound goals. A clear target keeps the team motivated and purposeful. Use the formula do + what + when. 4️⃣ Ideas Brainstorm actionable steps to achieve your goals. Generate diverse ideas and assess them based on effort and impact. Include some quick wins to build momentum. 5️⃣ Commitments Transform the ideas into a plan. Break tasks into actionable steps with deadlines and assign ownership. Include contingency plans for potential obstacles. Encourage your team to embrace the MAGIC method as a tool for collective growth. When teams pause to reflect, they gain insight, strengthen bonds, and move forward with purpose.

Last week Wednesday was Extraordinary Work Team Recognition Day – a chance to celebrate your team! What makes a team extraordinary? It’s about delivering results by harnessing the collective strengths of the team with a shared purpose. Extraordinary teams trust and support each other, adapt to change, and use creativity and innovation to achieve their goals. Celebrating these teams is essential because recognition reinforces positive behaviour, boosts morale, and reminds everyone that their contributions matter. Is your team extraordinary? Celebrate them. #teamcoaching #buildingbetterteams #TeamSuccess
