"When the Team Outgrows the Leader"
Presenter:  Jennifer Gance
May 8, 2023 from 9:00am - 10:00am MT


Is it possible a team can still excel even when they have outgrown their leader? Can you still be an effective coach if this happens and the company does not want to make organizational changes to the dynamic? The answer is yes and yes!

I will present a real-life case study where a team has outgrown their leadership and is excelling in potential. I will also demonstrate why coaching within this dynamic can add immense value and support for the organization. Lastly, we will cover how and why certain qualities and elements must be present within the essence of the team in order for this environment to be successful.

We often talk about coaching the client, not the story, and "following the energy." Yet, what do we mean when we actually talk about that. A deeply powerful coaching principle and foundation is to co-create the relationship. What if that is more than the words we say, but the presence we have "limbically" with our clients and ourselves. Here we will explore some findings in neuroscience and psychology like attachment theory to help us in our own personal lives and vocations as coaches.
