Development Coaching
When you think of the merits of coaching, individual and team sports probably come to mind. There's universal agreement that an effective sports coach can help athletes overcome challenges that have been keeping them from moving to the next level of performance. And, oftentimes, great coaching is what helps a team go from good to great and paves the way for them to become champions.
Professional organizational coaching is no different: Our high-quality Development Coaching, provided by certified coaches, is what helps employees and teams build resiliency and reach their full potential. For instance, we can coach:
- Entry-level employees to assist them in adapting to your organization’s culture.
- Mid-level employees to help determine their development needs to take them to the next level.
- Senior-level employees to assist in building effectiveness in leading a diverse, high-performing workforce.
Example of an AxisTD coaching process:
Each person holds so much power within themselves that needs to be let out. Sometimes they just need a little nudge, a little direction, a little support, a little coaching, and the greatest things can happen.
—Pete Carroll, Football Coach
Coaching works because people learn by doing what they would have done anyway – just smarter, faster, better, and with support and feedback.

-PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY-
The Nuts and Bolts of Psychological Safety in the Workplace.
Psychological safety means feeling safe to take interpersonal risks, to speak up, to disagree openly, to surface concerns without fear of negative repercussions or pressure to sugarcoat bad news.
Psychological safety nurtures a work environment where people feel encouraged to share creative ideas without fear of personal judgment or stepping on toes.
In this kind of environment, it feels safe to share feedback with others, including negative upward feedback to leaders about where improvements or changes are needed. It’s OK to admit mistakes, to be vulnerable, and to speak truth to power.
When psychological safety is present in the workplace, it creates a more inclusive, innovative work environment and contributes to team effectiveness, learning, employee retention, and—most critically—better decisions and better performance.
In short, psychological safety in the workplace is good for your people, organization, and for business.
We can help you build the Psychological Safety that high-performing teams need.
The first step is to measure your organization's level of Psychological Safety using the Fearless Organization Scan (FOS).
Here's how it works:
- Meet with us to create the goals and cover the details.
- Participants take a seven-question survey online.
- We'll meet with everyone to debrief results, determine solutions, and focus your efforts based on the results.
- You can rescan on a regular basis to measure progress toward goals. (Periodic scans can also be used to track improvements and growth.)
Our follow-on support, such as skill-building workshops, team development and development coaching, can be tailored specifically to address the needs of your teams or organization.

The Learning Experience
An Everything DiSC® Workplace®
experience
teaches the Team Development participants to understand themselves and their team members, while learning to appreciate different priorities, preferences, and values each individual brings to the team. In other words, they learn how to play nice in the sandbox.
Participants begin with a short, computer-adaptive assessment that uncovers their DiSC styles, as well as their workplace priorities, preferences, motivators, and stressors.
The results are translated into a personalized, 20-page report that provides detailed recommendations and strategies for working with other styles and forging more respectful and rewarding relationships with everyone on the team.
To energize the experience in a group setting, our certified facilitators will leverage dynamic presentations, engaging videos, and a wide variety of teaching tools to help drive home the lessons and make the benefits of the DiSC experience a lasting part of everyone's lives.
