Team development
Take your team performance to new heights.
Make working together an utter pleasure.
Achieve great results.
Develop a supersonic team.
Over many years, we’ve refined the craft of developing high-performance teams - teams that significantly over-achieve as well as feel amazing to be part of, because they work effortlessly well.
To enable this, we prioritise two things. Firstly, we work with you on your minds. As you may know, it’s easy for limited thinking to get in the way of teams working well together. It is this thinking that inhibits leadership team & Board performance. For example:
”I’m not really bought into our vision and goals but I daren’t speak up”
”I can’t challenge him or say what I really think. I don’t want to upset people”
“But I don’t like her, or I don’t trust him”
”Our meetings are so ineffective”.
We help you quieten your internal noise.
Secondly, we develop you real-time in the fine art of highly effective group communication. This enables you to:
Think and act as one team
Feel deeply aligned on vision, purpose, strategy & goals
Develop respect, trust and relationship
Communicate more effectively
Be able to have constructive discussion and debate on even the most contentious issues.
The team will get to a place where it can use the full power of its collective potential to add most value and have most impact.
“Great results rarely just arise. They are created by great teams. Great teams rarely just arise. They are developed.”

Your team development options
Team Effectiveness Assessment
How good are you as a team? And how do you know?
Our Team Effectiveness Assessment (TEA) helps you bring some thoroughness to working out where you’re really at. And before you spend time and money on development, it makes sense to know your team’s strengths and weaknesses.
The typical TEA process:
Team members anonymously complete our 90-question survey
We gain input from outside the team (optional)
We collect data and analyse the responses.
We present you the results highlighting specific development needs and providing our insights.
If desired, we advise and propose solutions.
Initial 3-day team offsite retreat
This is the team offsite that will blow you away. And it’ll blow away anything that’s currently stopping you from being a high-performing team.
The typical 3-day offsite approach:
Meet each person individually and the team
Run the Team Effectiveness Assessment
Design a great agenda for the offsite
Day 1 & 2
Teach the team the principles behind the human mind
Quieten the noise, increase the compassion, connection and understanding
Develop the team’s ability to communicate
Day 3
Improve all elements of how the team works in daily life
Improve how you discuss, debate, decide and align on any topic (even contentious ones).
Year-long team development journey
Team development is a journey. It takes time and conscious effort to develop the muscle of highly effective team working.
An outline for a one-year journey:
Team Effectiveness Assessment
Initial 3-day offsite
Regular team momentum sessions every 2-3 months. The aim of these is to:
Provide further development
Observe and coach the team in action
Further develop the team communication on complex topics
One-to-one coaching (optional) to refine individual behaviours that are having an impact on the team working.
Pricing
Pricing for our team work varies enormously depending on your situation and need. It’s best to contact us to talk it through.
Note: for organisations doing social or environmental good in the world, we discount heavily.
Why we recommend ‘Quality of Mind’ for team development
Learning to master the collective mind is the key to enabling a team to be truly high-performing.
“Do you know that special feeling that comes from being in a truly high-performing team?”
What people are saying.
““We now approach conversations with a completely open mind - no fixed thinking about how something should be done. The shackles are off. The sky is the limit.”
Nik, Founder & Chief Executive Officer
“Unbounded’s approach to team development is a delight. The Quality of Mind work certainly refreshes the parts that our other coaching has never reached.”
Sunita, Chief Executive Officer
Assess your team performance
Our Team Effectiveness Assessment (TEA) helps you understand the team’s collective perspective of itself in twelve key areas of team working. We’ll assess your results and present back insights and advice on where and how to focus your development.
