As a kid, I wanted to be Cracker – a psychologist detecting the inner workings of criminal minds. Then starting work as a psychologist in policing, I realised that the relationship that officers had with their jobs and with their teammates was far more fascinating to me. Since then, I’ve grown as a business psychologist, a career that has taken me into hundreds of organisations striving to become great places to work and supporting people through large-scale transformations. Across the range of work that I’ve done, I’m noticing that all roads seem to lead back to team development in one way or another. And that is how I find myself here in the TCS community. Lasting transformation in organisations happens one team mindset at a time. To me, team coaching supports our desire to generate a shared sense of meaning, boosts our ability to create ‘the new’, and to get stuff done together. Aren’t we social animals?!
