S3:E6In this episode of The Secrets of Learning and Development, Julia and Valerie welcome Dr Seb Fox, an experienced team coach, researcher and soon-to-be author for a compelling conversation that challenges conventional coaching models.Seb shares his unexpected journey from finance and marketing into the world of coaching, and how a curiosity about behavioural change led him to specialise in team coaching. Drawing on insights from his doctoral research into emergent coaching, he unpacks what really makes teams effective and why traditional models often miss the mark.Listeners will gain fresh perspectives on:The true purpose of team coaching and why performance isn't the goalThe concept of emergence, and how it reshapes the coaching conversationWhy team coaching isn't just one-to-one coaching in a group settingNavigating complexity, discomfort and transformation within team dynamicsWhat to expect from Seb’s upcoming book on emergent team coachingWhether you're a coach, team leader or simply curious about the future of team development, this episode offers rich insights into a practice that is as complex as it is rewarding.Key TakeawaysTrue transformation in teams begins when coaches let go of rigid models and allow what’s blocking progress to emerge.Seb challenges traditional frameworks, arguing that teams often don’t know what’s getting in their way until they’re given space to explore, and that’s where emergent coaching begins.Performance is not the coach’s responsibility, it’s the team’s.Rather than striving to drive outcomes, Seb emphasises that a coach's role is to create the conditions for insight and ownership. Sustainable performance only comes when teams take responsibility for the change themselves.Guest Information:https://www.linkedin.com/in/sebastianfox/http://www.brownfoxconsultancy.com/[email protected] Just to let our listeners know — we’ve just won Podcast of the Year at the Women’s Business Awards 2025Support the showSupport the ShowHelp us continue making great content and get a shout-out on the show!https://www.buzzsprout.com/2389736/support
