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.
