In this episode of Teams Transformed, Georgina and Allard are joined by experienced team coach and learning and development professional, Emma Pugh. Emma works with teams who can’t unsee their impact on people and the planet, helping them strengthen how they lead together through coaching and transformative programmes.

Emma shares two powerful stories of moments of emergence. In one, a leader’s public criticism created a heavy silence—yet staying with the discomfort led to a breakthrough in honesty and connection. In another, resistance to a reflective exercise exposed differing levels of psychological safety. Both stories highlight the coach’s role in helping teams make the invisible visible.

You’ll discover:

• How staying present in discomfort can unlock breakthrough.
• Why resistance often reveals what’s really happening in a team.
• The value of authentic response, self-awareness, and supervision.
• How to work with the ever-shifting nature of team dynamics.

A compelling reminder that real transformation begins when we surface what’s beneath the surface—and have the courage to stay with it.

Every team moves through distinct stages of growth - but how can coaches skillfully guide them through each one?

In this episode of Teams Transformed, Georgina and Allard explore a refreshingly simple yet powerful model of team development, inspired by Gestalt theory and the work of the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland. Moving beyond the familiar Tuckman framework, they introduce a three-phase approach: beginnings (orientation and inclusion), middles (differentiation and constructive conflict), and endings (cohesion and integration).

You’ll discover:

• What each stage feels like for team members, and the psychological needs present at each phase.
• How to create psychological safety early on to set a strong foundation.
• Why healthy conflict in the middle stages is essential for growth and innovation.
• Ways to support endings so teams can integrate learning and move forward stronger.
• Practical strategies for applying this framework in both single sessions and ongoing coaching journeys.

Join us for rich insights and real-world examples that help coaches, leaders, and facilitators recognise where their teams are—and how to meet them there with purpose and awareness.

What if the real technology for change in team coaching isn’t found in new tools or frameworks—but in the meta skills you bring to the room?

In this episode of Teams Transformed, Georgina and Allard introduce the three core meta skills that underpin powerful, transformational work with teams: presence, use of self, and active experiments.

You’ll discover:

• Why these higher-order skills are the foundation of effective team coaching.
• How to work more impactfully in the moment by drawing on presence and use of self.
• Practical ways to run active experiments that shift unhelpful patterns.
• Why meta skills matter more than techniques when it comes to lasting transformation.

Through real-world stories and practical examples, this conversation highlights how meta skills equip coaches, leaders, and facilitators to help teams learn, adapt, and grow together—no matter what challenges arise.
