In team coaching everyone learns, including me!

Last week I shared an apple tree analogy of Prof David Clutterbuck's High Performing Team PERILL model. To grow the apples that stakeholders need, HPT’s need six elements: the right leadership, clear purpose, strong relationships, learning and continuous improvement, and good internal and external processes. The team I am using this analogy with it could totally relate. They also suggested in the real world HPT’s experience some rotten apples, some wastage, possums and other critters eating the fruits of their labour, not to mention strong winds knocking apples off the tree. So, HPT’s need a seventh element "resilience". Thanks Gary Connolly, Gary Thomass, Jennifer Edwards, Zoltan Varadi, Tertia du Plooy, Evan Myers – we've just created a new HPT model together - very happy to be learning with you!

Are your team growing perfect apples?

The team I am working with today know David Clutterbuck’s High Performing Team (HPT) model really well. But we need a bit of energy and zhuzh. So, I put together the apple tree analogy below. To grow the apples that stakeholders need, HPT’s need the right leadership, clear purpose, strong relationships, learning and continuous improvement, and good internal and external processes.

If you would like to know more about how to grow a HPT, or, how to grow perfect apples, please get in touch.

Where is your happy place?

For me it’s mountains – the bigger the better, and preferably with snow. I'm a winter person.

Where do you feel a spiritual connection... calm, centered and at peace with the universe? Is it the beach? Lake? Forest? Garden? I bet for most of you it involves nature.

Spend more time in your happy place, it’s vital for your soul. And if you can’t get there, look at pictures (there is empirical evidence that looking at pictures of nature has a positive impact on your wellbeing.)
