Team Development
Sally brings passion and energy to her work in Team Development with a track record that spans over 20 years
When teams are working effectively they can help transform an organisation, and deliver far more than individuals working on their own.
Even the most succesful team requires regular investment if it is to continue to grow from strength to strength and face up to new challenges.
New teams really benefit from focussing on their set up and from time to time teams experience particular difficulties that threaten their efficacy. When working with teams Sally’s focus is first and foremost on enabling the team to improve its effectiveness.
The approach Sally takes will be tailored to the specific needs of the team at that point in time and her intervention will be designed to be self-sustaining encouraging the team to continue its development journey.
Sally has a track record in:
- Helping newly formed teams establish themselves effectively
- Enabling teams to take stock, celebrate successes and identify improvements they need to make
- Supporting teams experiencing problems, helping them to recapture their performance levels and go from strength to strength
- Facilitating teams deal with organisational change, merger or significant changes to their external market
- Facilitating teams engage in strategy development in a way that maximises ownership
Sally draws upon a wide range of tools and models in designing team interventions that increase self-awareness and understanding within the team including:
- Appreciative Inquiry
- The Myers Brigg Type Inventory
- Belbin Team Roles
- Woodcock’s Building Blocks for Team Effectiveness
- Tuckman’s Stages of Team Development
Examples of Sally’s Team Development work include:
- Working with a GP Practice to address a challenging team dynamic following changes to practice which had contributed to strained relationships and a break down in interpersonal communication – read more

- Building team resilience in a large directorate within an NHS Foundation Trust. The journey to become a Foundation NHS Trust had put considerable extra pressure on the corporate service directorate. It was important to build resilience in the workforce so that they could continue to respond positively to an additional workload and identify creative solutions to new demands – read more
“I have thoroughly enjoyed the programme from learning new skills to building new relationships. It has been great to have the space to develop myself in an environment away from work.”
