The All-Hands meeting.

The energy is high, the vision is clear, the leadership team is aligned.

​

​Then Monday arrives – and the noise begins again.

​

When I managed the North American operations of a multinational software company, I use to travel to Europe every Fall for an annual All-Hands strategy meeting.  Managers from about a dozen countries would descend in a hotel near a local office, build relationships, gossip, share status updates and presentations, align around bigger goals, and drink way too much sometimes.  It was fun!  Even if I suspected the cost was too high for what the company got out of the meeting, I would have been upset if it didn’t happen.  Despite the usual stress of my job, I’d leave the meeting feeling energized with a renewed focus.  Yet within weeks, operational urgency took over.

​

Urgent tasks replace important goals.  Meetings fill calendars. The strategy that felt so alive starts to fade behind the day-to-day.  And let’s face it, change is often resisted even when the status quo hasn’t been working out.

​

Does this sound familiar?

​

After the All-Hands helps managers and management teams bridge the gap between big-picture goals and day-to-day realities.  Through focused coaching conversations with your management team, your managers will get the support they need to convert the vision set from an All-Hands meeting into sustained collective action.  We’ll create structures for shared accountability, navigate competing priorities, and strengthen the collaboration that fuels real progress.

​

Who It's For​

​

• Leadership or Management teams who want to improve their ability to translate strategic priorities into measurable results, even when "there's no time for that."

• Executive teams wanting to maintain momentum, coherence, and accountability after an All-Hands meeting.

• Organizations wanting to embed team coaching as a lever of transformation.

• Leadership groups wanting to improve their ways of working together towards a common goal.

• Groups navigating change or rapid growth.

• Teams who want to strengthen trust, decision-making, and follow-through.

​​

Expected Outcomes

​

• A unified team with clarity on priorities, roles, and accountabilities.

• Enhanced synergy: cross-team coordination, reduced duplication, better decision flow, etc.

• Shared ownership and peer accountability for strategic goals

• Faster, more consistent progress on organizational priorities.

• Better resilience in the face of competing demands.

• More effective communication, trust, and conflict resolution.

• Renewed energy and engagement across the team.​

​

What's included:

​

• Pre-program team assessment & stakeholder interviews.

• A kickoff workshop to reengage the vision, surface constraints, and set expectations for the coaching engagement.

• 6 x 2-hour Zoom team coaching sessions (in-person available by request)

• Ongoing support between sessions via email​

​

This is not just coaching individual leaders.  I’ll work with your team as a living system.  We’ll explore patterns, surface tensions, gain alignment through dialogue, and define the team’s ways of working together that will carry them through to the finish line.

​

You can have the best managers on a management team, but that alone is sort of like planting seeds in a garden and forgetting to water it.  After the All-Hands team coaching could be the water that will help your management team thrive.
