Team and leadership coaching to transform your creative organization
Running an arts organization can be as challenging and overwhelming as it is fulfilling and inspiring.
As the leader of a creative team, you may find yourself dealing with tight budgets and deadlines with limited resources, while also managing inconsistent work or high employee turnover. You may be trying to stop your team working in silos and managing conflict, while fostering a healthy dynamic that allows everyone to produce their best creative work.
And you may be doing it all without much of a background in team management, having grown into the role from your creative practice.
We understand. Grow Better Together is all about helping you – the leader of an arts organization – to find, grow and keep your dream team. We want to help equip you with the tools and knowledge you need to inspire a team and grow the organization you dream of: positive, efficient, productive and, most importantly, creative.
From recruiting and sourcing to leadership coaching, organizational transformation, team coaching and HR consulting, we will be with you as you take your business to new heights.
Who are we?
Our team combines decades of experience in coaching and training leaders and organizations, bringing about powerful and lasting change at individual and team levels.
We are artists at heart, with expertise in events, theatre, circus, animation, VFX, gaming and more. We understand what makes creatives tick and creative organizations thrive, and we’ve helped companies including Cirque du Soleil, Digital Dimension Entertainment Group, Alps VFX and El Ranchito.
Our founder Gen is a certified transformational coach and certified team performance coach and is accredited PCC (ICF), combining 15 years of HR experience with creative organizations and a deep passion for helping professionals find new solutions, unlock their full potential and achieve their goals.
How can we help?
We want to help you on your journey, whether you’re looking to:
● Develop yourself into the high-performing leader you know you can be
● Transform your organization into one that works efficiently, innovatively and creatively
● Improve engagement and motivation for a strong and healthy team
● Build a workplace founded on sensitivity, cooperation and inclusivity
● Get on top of HR processes, rules and regulations, and get your arts business in tip-top shape.
Using a customized framework designed exclusively for the arts, we can help you develop a creative enterprise that boosts creativity and innovation, shows better decision-making and employee engagement, and delivers higher productivity and profits.
We employ the pioneering TEAL approach developed by Frederic Laloux to help you and your team make breakthroughs in self-management, wholeness, and evolutionary purpose. By investing in long-lasting change, we help your arts business transform itself and embrace a whole new way of thinking and working.
We offer team coaching that delivers sustainable change to improve engagement, trust and motivation. Instead of getting bogged down in performance management or relying on sporadic team-building interventions, we work to transform behaviour through an approach tailored to your team that delivers support, structure and empowerment.
Based on 14 simple Team Performance Indicators (TPI), we assess your team’s current performance and develop a baseline Team Diagnostic Assessment™, creating a portrait of how your team interacts and performs. This then becomes a tool for working out what needs to be addressed for your arts team to get where it needs to be.
Of course, we also understand that the core of any strong creative team is a skilled and well-equipped leader who can guide it capably towards its goals.
Through one-to-one sessions following a custom plan, we can support you in strengthening the leadership muscles you need to help your team forward, arming you with the tools and resources you need to deal with challenges and formulate strategies to achieve your creative vision.
Is leadership/team coaching really right for me?
There’s plenty of data to suggest that working with a Coach is a worthwhile investment that can completely turn your enterprise around.
A survey by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) found that executives and entrepreneurs who worked with coaches grew their net income by an average of 46 percent. More than half reported more confidence and lower anxiety, and nearly two-thirds said they set better goals as a result.
We know that arts organizations are unique, and that leading a team in the creative sector brings with it challenges and opportunities different to anything you might find in any other industry, but there’s a reason more and more artists are turning to Coaches to help them achieve the results they’re looking for.
As creatives ourselves, we understand what it takes to balance your art and your business and how to ensure both flourish. And we’re passionate about helping creative organizations get there.
