FAQ

What is team coaching?

Team coaching is a specialized approach that optimizes a team's collective performance by enhancing collaboration, communication, and overall team dynamics. It helps members leverage their strengths, address weaknesses, and work together efficiently to achieve common goals. Team coaching fosters a supportive and productive team environment, enabling teams to operate at peak performance and leading to increased innovation, productivity, and success.

Who can benefit from team coaching?

Team coaching suits a wide range of teams, from small businesses to large corporations, across various industries. Whether the team is newly formed, has undergone recent changes, or is facing challenges in performance or communication, team coaching can transform it into a cohesive, high-performing unit. Examples of teams that benefit from team coaching include cross-functional teams, project teams, leadership teams, sales teams, customer service teams, and remote or virtual teams.

What to expect from team coaching?

The team coaching process involves several steps, including a team assessment, goal setting, skill development, action planning, monitoring progress and adjusting, and evaluation and celebration. During the process, I work closely with the team to identify areas for improvement and develop growth strategies. I assess the team's current performance, dynamics, and challenges, establish clear, specific, and measurable goals for the team's development, and help team members develop the necessary skills for improved communication, collaboration, and problem-solving. I also work with the team to create actionable strategies and plans that address identified challenges, support the team's goals, monitor progress, and adjust the approach as needed.

"René is both a superb listener and a great synthesizer of ideas. He's a coach who takes in all the fine details of a person's story, then picks out patterns and themes that give a valuable explanatory perspective that the client can't easily see for her/himself, and from there delivers insightful suggestions that lead the client to a more lucid self-understanding with positive action points - which is the true value-add of a great coach."

René is a highly sensitive and empathetic person.  Sharing with him is very nice because you sense a deep relationship and feel accompanied by him. With his breadth of knowledge and experience, he has always something of value to contribute. He has helped me to ask myself questions that I might not have asked if I had not had this space.  As a result, I could develop tools that allowed me to be better prepared to face certain situations in the future. I can highly recommend working with him!

"I know René as a man with empathy and a deep tangible interest in the people around him. You can see in his eyes that he senses your emotional state. I know that I can always approach him when I need someone to listen and help me find my way. As everyone, René has had his share of darkness and personal crisis to deal with. During these times, he has sustained himself admirably and continued to passionately care for those closest to him while he was not in a good place. For full disclosure, he has been a friend for many years, since business school in fact."

"René, thanks for asking questions leading to answers so close to my eyes. Sometimes, you need a guide to find the things you've been staring at for years".

"René Sonneveld has saved me at least 6 months of erratic thinking aimed at shaping my academic career to fit it into the biopharmaceutical sector. He's uncovered values that I had never identified, and he has smartly pinpointed the right questions. Astonishing how René can dissect your needs and provide shortcuts towards accurate answers. No matter what market you are in, seek his coaching. He'll get your money's worth."”

"After being a project manager for building hotels in Russia and managing a family-owned training institute in Vienna, I started to think about what to do next at the age of fifty-five. It seemed like a perfect time for hiring a coach to see what I wanted to do for the next ten years of my life. I had numerous ideas, and coaching with René helped me put them in the right perspective; to understand the interconnection of these ideas. I probably could not have figured this out by just pondering my brain. Therefore, I can highly recommend his coaching to take a step back and get an objective and refreshing view of things."

"Rene coaching sessions have been extremely thoughtful, motivational, and to say the least, life changing. His approach of patience combined with encouragements allowed me to tap into aspects of myself and especially to improve the organization of my days. Rene created a natural environment where I could express myself and explore my potential. With each session I could see tangible results and growth. "

"Rene has a wealth of experience in advising senior teams and company boards that transpire and becomes evident when he is coaching you. When he coaches, he combines a rational side, based on his long experience, with an acute observation of details, emotions and empathy of the person. This holistic combination of "head and guts" makes the coaching doubly effective, uncovering solutions that a simple approach would not have achieved. In summary, it is a very effective pleasure having him as a coach."

Paradigm Shift
Every session that I had with Rene had a realization leading to a perspective change and a short term goal to achieve tangible results.

Impact
Rene is highly imaginative and has fantastic skills in picking the right detail in a dialogue, and is always positive. He loves coaching, and it is visible in every minute of my discussions with him. Within a few sessions, my emotional construct shifted from extreme stress to highly optimistic and forward-looking.

Connection
Rene forms connections at an emotional level. No matter how my emotional state was before a session, I always come out of it highly energetic and with a positive outlook.

Once you get to know him, you connect with him for life.
