I have a confession: I really like goats.

Not because they’re cute – even though they ARE cute! I like them because they are fearless, brave, and experimental. I’ve seen wild goats teetering on the sides of sheer rock faces – seemingly unfazed by their predicament – with me standing below wondering how they got there – and even more importantly, how they are going to get down.


🐐 Billie doesn’t have any cliffs in her pen – she’s very domesticated. But she still manages to find edges everywhere – the roof of her little hut, the kids’ jungle gym, or a log or two… anything that offers a slightly higher perspective and a bit of a challenge.


Coaching teams is similar - it’s about learning edges. Places where:

 • comfort ends

 • certainty dropsĀ 

 • real discovery, insight, experimentation takes place

 • and real shift happens


In today’s crazy VUCAH world, teams don’t need more predictable, boring, run-of-the-mill team building sessions. They're pretty much a waste of time.Ā 


Teams need to practice balancing on edges, feeling comfortable with uncertainty, and learning how to stay present and work collaboratively when things feel wobbly. Team coaching isn’t about creating certainty and safety - it’s about building comfort in operating at the edge.


If you'd like to know more about learning edges and Team Coaching, please get in touch. And let's be more like Billie! 🐐
