Coaching for teams

Most corporate wellness fails for one reason

It is scheduled as an event. A speaker comes, everyone feels briefly motivated, and nothing about the following Tuesday is different. The working day is where the habits live, so that is where the coaching has to land — in the space the team actually occupies, at a time that survives a normal week.

Which means the format follows the company rather than the company following a format. A team of eight in a meeting room is a different session from forty people on a terrace, and both are different from a distributed team on a call.

What a session can be built around

• Movement in the dayWhat sitting for nine hours does, and the small amount of work that undoes most of it. Practical, in clothes people came to work in.
• Energy rather than fitnessSleep, food and pacing — the levers that change how the afternoon feels, which is what people notice first and what makes them come back.
• A shared sessionTraining together, at a level everyone can join. The point is the group doing something together, not the strongest person in the room enjoying themselves.
• Something that continuesA one-off is a nice morning. What people keep is the habit they were given a reason to repeat, so sessions are designed to leave something behind.

Where it happens

In person in Dubai, or online for teams that are not in one place. An office, a meeting room, a terrace, a park — the session is written for the space rather than the space being expected to suit the session.

Getting a proposal

Tell us the size of the team, where they are, what the setting looks like and what has already been tried. You will get a straight answer about what is worth doing — including when the answer is that a single session is not.

If you are approaching this as a brand or a partner rather than an employer, there is a separate route for collaborations.
