Team Coaching Retainer

Turning teams into autonomous, accountable units that deliver consistently without burnout.

When this work is relevant

The team is capable and committed, but something is not flowing.

Progress depends on a few individuals. Decisions move slowly or escalate unnecessarily. Conflicts either repeat or are avoided, and effort does not always translate into momentum or quality.

You may recognize some of this:

• Dependence on certain individuals to move forward

• Unclear ownership and accountability

• Avoided or recurring conflicts

• Slow delivery, rework, and frustration

• High effort with inconsistent results

The underlying issue is rarely motivation or skill.

It is a lack of shared ownership, clear decision-making, and trust under pressure. Stress accumulates instead of being resolved. Team goals feel disconnected from strategy. And responsibility quietly concentrates in a few people.

Day to day, this often feels like:

• Waiting for decisions

• Repeating the same discussions

• Being busy without real momentum

This is where this retainer is designed to help.

What this retainer delivers

This engagement focuses on strengthening how the team carries responsibility, makes decisions, and works through tension.

Over time, the work supports:

• Stronger ownership and clearer accountability

• Healthier conflict and more direct communication

• Increased effectiveness and flow

• Reduced stress and dependency on individuals

• Faster delivery and higher quality outcomes

The goal is not harmony, but a team that can work through pressure and complexity without burning out or relying on heroes.

How we work together

This is not a one-off workshop or intervention.

We work with the team over time, inside their real context, as challenges arise and patterns become visible.

In simple terms:

“We work with the team over time, not just in workshops. I help the team build ownership, decision-making ability, and trust so they can perform without constant intervention from leadership.”

The work is practical, grounded, and focused on building capability that stays with the team.

Core formats

Depending on the team and context, the retainer typically includes:

• Team coaching and mentoring

• Agile training and coaching

• OKR and strategy workshops

• Individual coaching inside the team
  
  

The mix adapts over time, but the intent remains the same: autonomy, accountability, and sustainable performance.

What success looks like

Success becomes visible in how the team operates day to day.

From a business perspective, this typically shows up as:

• Less dependency on individuals

• Fewer unnecessary escalations

• Faster and clearer decisions

• Higher quality and less rework

• Lower stress and improved retention

The team becomes more self-steering and resilient, capable of leading change from within.

Best fit

This retainer is best suited for:

• Product teams

• Engineering teams

• Cross-functional teams

It works best where the goal is sustainable delivery, not short-term acceleration at the cost of people.
