Enterprisecoach helps you and your people to align, collaborate and innovate for long term sustainable value.
We work directly with the local and global leadership teams that drive your business. Value is unlocked when they engage together in real time, whether in person or online, supported and challenged by us as coaches. And it usually takes several meetings over a period of at least 90 days to embed sustainable change. We’re flexible on just about everything else – time, place, location and duration.
We tackle the tough stuff – where there is no easy solution
Leaders come to our network when they face extraordinary challenges. We like it when you bring problems that appear insoluble. Complexity, conflict, competition and passion are our daily bread.
The work we do is beyond both training and consulting. It’s about helping your people untangle relationships, communications and differences in your business ecosystem to thrive and create more value.
We’re a boutique service, spanning the globe, helping your leadership teams unlock the value in the people dimension of your business.

Some new skills are needed to work effectively in 'virtual teams.' We need to learn to work with people we never get [...]
Balancing task and relationship in business
This is a combined text/audio posting based on a fascinating live interview with Faith Fuller, President and co-founder of CRR Global, Inc on the topic of Relationship Systems and South African Business.

Leadership skills for global virtual teams
It's 2012 and the era of the global virtual team is upon us. Whether we like it or not, more and more work teams are going to be global and virtual – i.e. made up of geographically separated members who still want to work together – because money and ecology say so (just look at what [...]
For a Yes to be meaningful, you also need to say No
Saying "No" can be hard. Yet without a good solid daily dose of "No", it becomes pretty meaningless to say "Yes." Too many yes's leave a person overloaded with so many promises that eventually they can't all be kept. Most people know this intellectually, but not all of us are as clear as we might be about [...]
