Team Coaching Workshops: 

Fostering cooperation and wellbeing of your team for higher impact with more ease and joy 

You work in a fast-paced, multicultural and complex environment of European policy and cooperation, a membership association, an NGO, a public institution, a university alliance or interest representation. 

Your work is driven by the shared purpose of your members, partners, clients or stakeholders to contribute to the greater good and your mission is to foster collaboration across borders or help shaping public policies in that direction.   

Your team is relatively small and you need to rely on colleagues' flexibility and willingness to jump in quickly and collaborate across work areas and topics. Agendas can change fast and reconciling long-term planning with ad hoc action is a constant challenge. This contributes to stress and pressure and you somehow feel that the old ways of doing things don't work anymore... you wish to change something, but don't know really what or how and never have the time to really think about it ....

You wish to strengthen cooperation and team spirit and ensure that everyone brings in their best to contribute to the team effort and impact, while ensuring individual wellbeing.

A team coaching workshop is not a magic pill to solve all your team's issues, but it can help you to address these topics jointly. Through my systemic team coaching approach, I support your team in identifying the underlying challenges and needs, develop a common vision and co-create solutions that fit your very specific working context. 


After 15 years of working in different roles in European higher education and research cooperation, policy coordination and foresight, I know what it means to work in a fast-paced multicultural and complex environment. As a team coach, I take an impartial role, I neither replace the team leader, nor do I give advice on solutions, as the solution lies within the team itself. I am focused on leading the team through the process, ensuring that all team members can bring in their perspective to jointly find solutions within the team, work towards a commonly defined goal and identify concrete next steps. 

My team coaching workshops take place exclusively in physical presence, over one day, half a day, or two half days and they are tailor-made for each client. They always include a clarity call with the sponsor (usually the team leader) to clarify expectations and prepare. Depending on the team situation and challenge at hand, I conduct confidential individual interviews with team members ahead of the workshop to prepare - this is optional and upon agreement with the sponsor/client. As a follow-up, I provide a written summary of the team coaching outcomes to the team which are discussed with the sponsor in a follow-up call.

The price of a team coaching workshop depends on the size of the team, the length of the workshop, the time investment and scope (e.g. if individual interviews are included). Possible travel costs are charged in addition.

"The workshop was helpful, more focused than I had expected and really tailored to what emerged during the discussions. We could feel trust and confidence within the team to talk about problems openly. Thank you!" 

Team leader after workshop

Brussels, spring 2025

"We did a half-day, tailor-made workshop with Anna-Lena for our core team. Anna-Lena prepared the session after thoughtful preparatory talks to ensure it truly fit our needs.

We focused in the workshop on identifying our personal and team values; our individual stress behaviour; and how we, as a team, can support each other by drawing on our personal strengths. Anna-Lena listens, supports the team's discussions with her attention, and asks the right questions. She enabled us, as a team, to set values and goals and focus on the things that really matter to us.

Anna-Lena is an exceptional coach; incredibly empathetic and truly empowering. Her approach inspires you to lead from within and connect with your core values. It's remarkable how Anna-Lena's half-day workshop allows you to step away from your daily routine, reflect on your inner values, and return feeling truly re-energised and inspired."
