WHAT TEAM SPARK® IS

A team coaching programme you run from one screen and everyone's phone.

Start with the free one-hour workshop. Then six workshops of about two hours, once a month, for teams of six to fourteen.

  1. Get together (live or remote) and learn

    PRE-RECORDED

    A Chartered Psychologist leads each workshop on video, on your shared screen.

  2. Contribute safely, as a team

    Short exercises. Every answer is anonymous.

  3. Reveal your hidden experiences

    Your team's answers appear on screen. You talk them through.

  4. Leave with new ideas and stronger links

    AI links your data to our library of advice (written by us). One insights report for staff, one for managers.

THE AWAY DAY

You already know how the away day goes.

Someone books a room and a facilitator. It costs three or four thousand pounds for the day. People are honest until about eleven. There are actions on a flipchart. By Thursday the team is back to normal and the flipchart is in a cupboard.

Actions
– Be more open with each other
– Better comms!!
– Monthly check-ins?
By Thursday,
it's in a cupboard.

WHO'S BEHIND IT

Designed and delivered by Chartered Psychologists & Team Coaches.

Craig presents every session on video. Cordet built the programme with him. The approach comes from years of coaching real teams, not from a textbook.

HOW IT WORKS

No external facilitator needed.

Whoever is hosting presses play and then takes part like everyone else. A short pre-recorded video from a Clinical & Coaching Psychologist leads the session: the timer, the exercise cues, all of it.

    Set it up once

    Name the team, pick a cadence, send the invites. Ten minutes.

    Press play

    A psychologist on video leads the session: timer, exercise cues, all of it.

    Everyone answers

    On their own phone, anonymously. Themes appear on the shared screen.

  4. 4

    AI matches it to our advice

    Your team's answers, linked to guidance from our psychologists. One version for staff, one for managers.

ANONYMOUS, EVERY SESSION

Anonymous means anonymous.

Everyone answers on their own phone. Answers are never stored with a name, so nobody can see who wrote what. Not managers, not admins, not us.

Team members respond from their own devices, enabling people to say what's hidden.

What teams say

The workshops have given us a collective sense that we’re “all in it together”, that we can raise and think about difficult issues, and that we can make progress collectively.
Director
…helped us to build our sense of “team”, given us the skills to deal with challenges, and has been hugely important in helping us manage the issues that come from working remotely.
