- Proven experience in systemic team coaching within complex organisational environments.
- A strong track record of working with organisational design teams.
- The ability to work with agility and adapt sessions to evolving leadership needs.
The initial scope will be informed by discussions with the HR Director, who will outline key challenges and development priorities. The facilitator will then be expected to design and deliver bespoke sessions aligned to these needs.
