We always coach in pairs. Here’s why.

Pair coaching is one of our core practices. Every engagement is supported by a Host + Guardian pair, bringing both facilitation and observational depth to the work.
We’ve also introduced the role of a Scribe, who supports the learning outcomes through sense-making, documentation and reflective capture.

Why pairing matters

  • Wider expertise & diversity of thinking
    Your team benefits from different backgrounds — product, UX, tech, leadership, OD.
  • Faster learning, deeper sensing
    One coach facilitates; the other observes team dynamics, enabling richer feedback.
  • Psychological safety & real-time adaptation
    We adjust content, pace and methods based on what’s emerging in the room.
  • Modelling collaboration
    Clients observe how pairing works — shared leadership, complementary roles, and constructive dialogue.
  • Better coverage & continuity
    When one coach is engaged with a subgroup or individual, the other maintains flow for the whole team.

Every pair aligns roles before the engagement and stays with the team through the entire Explore Collab Evaluate cycle.
