Business Coaching for Key Leaders & Teams
Team Coaching
Leadership is the cornerstone of success. It can elevate your business—or hold it back.
Struggling to hire and keep top performers?
Need to build effective, engaged teams that drive results?
Want to unlock the full potential of your people?
At Garrison Consulting Group, we understand that your biggest asset is your people. We harness a suite of science-based, validated tools, paired with personalized coaching and leadership development, to elevate your leadership and the performance of your entire organization.
Team coaching offers transformative benefits for organizations seeking to elevate their collective performance. By fostering improved communication, alignment, and collaborative problem-solving, team coaching can significantly enhance productivity and innovation. If you're challenged by siloed thinking, interpersonal conflicts, or a lack of shared vision, team coaching provides targeted strategies to overcome these obstacles. Research supports the effectiveness of this approach: a study by the International Coach Federation found that 80% of people who received coaching reported increased self-confidence, and over 70% benefited from improved work performance, relationships, and more effective communication skills (ICF Global Coaching Client Study, 2009). Furthermore, a 2018 study published in the Journal of Applied Behavioral Science demonstrated that team coaching led to a 20% improvement in goal attainment and a 32% increase in team effectiveness scores. At Garrison Consulting Group, we leverage these proven methodologies to help your teams unlock their full potential and drive measurable business results.
What’s the difference?
Coaching:
Focus on improving specific skills or performance
Usually short to medium-term
Often involves structured sessions and goal-setting
Coach doesn't need to be from the same field
Emphasizes asking questions to guide self-discovery
Sponsorship:
Sponsor actively advocates for the individual's career advancement
Uses their influence to create opportunities
Often a senior leader within the same or similar organization
More action-oriented than mentorship
Can be crucial for reaching high-level positions
Mentorship:
Longer-term relationship
Mentor is typically more experienced in the same field
Provides career guidance and shares personal experiences specific to the role or industry
Often informal and relationship-based - not usually compensated
Advisor:
Provides expert guidance on specific issues or areas, consultant-style
Usually formal arrangement, often compensated
May be external to the organization
Focuses on strategic input rather than personal development
Can be short-term or ongoing, depending on needs
We are coaches and advisors focused on moving you forward strategically and with specific actions, supported by self-discovery and a formal process. If you need a mentor or sponsor, let’s discuss your situation and we’ll share our network or access to referral opportunities.
