Team Coaching
Let's Unlock the Power of Your Teams: How Team Coaching Can Supercharge Your Business
We all know teams are the backbone of any successful business. But what if there was a way to tap into their hidden potential, to turn good teams into great teams? That's where team coaching comes in.
Think of it as a personalized training program, not for individuals, but for your entire team. It goes beyond skill sets and dives deep into the heart of what makes a team tick: communication and relationships. We focus on fostering a supportive environment where everyone feels heard, respected, and empowered to contribute their unique strengths.
Here's the thing: sometimes the most effective teams are the ones that form organically, driven by a shared need to get things done. But without clear structure and accountability, these results can be inconsistent. Even in well-defined teams, silos can form, hindering communication and slowing progress.
That's where team coaching becomes your secret weapon. We bridge the gaps, iron out communication wrinkles, and help your team develop a winning dynamic. Imagine a team that functions seamlessly, where everyone feels valued and motivated to achieve a common goal. That's the power of team coaching.
Investing in your team isn't just about the here and now; it's about building a future-proof organization. A team that works together like a well-oiled machine is a team that can adapt, innovate, and conquer any challenge that comes your way.

What clients say about me
How has coaching helped others?
How has coaching helped others?
Paula has been my personal coach, guiding and supporting me for close to two years. She is knowledgeable, well versed in coaching skills and tools, and truly authentic in her approach. Along with this, she is nonjudgemental, caring, and very flexible when our schedule needs to be adjusted. A testimony to her coaching is how much I notice if I have postponed a session for a week or two. Her support is invaluable.
Susan H.
*****************************************
I recently had the privilege of embarking on a self-awareness journey with the help of Paula Rauenbuehler, certified professional coach, and people expert with decades of experience.
The process began with an assessment unlike anything I had ever participated in..
Paula immediately made me feel at ease and comfortable with her warm energy.
In the week after our debrief, I have already experienced small, but significant wins as a result.
Paula opened my eyes to Energy Leadership and I cannot wait to see what more awareness and practice will do for myself and those close to me.
The realizations I had because of Paula’s insights had a profound effect on how I approach every day and every interaction.
Kyle A.
*********************************************
At first, I was unsure what to expect from this program (Energy Leadership) as I have not really done a profile similar to this in the past. Paula walked me through the process before we even began though, and I felt a little more comfortable that I knew what I was getting into.
After a series of professional and personal questions that were loosely related to each other, the results that were procured could not have been more accurate. I have to say, while this program didn’t teach me new things about myself that I wasn’t already aware of, the way that the results were presented allowed me to analyze myself in in a different manner. Paula helped me to understand my results and then showed me how to use this self-reflection to help clarify my thoughts and actions to better lead and help others to be successful. I frequently find myself stopping and reflecting on the strategies that she taught when dealing with situations and asking myself “at which level to I wish to engage this situation”.
This program really helped teach me how to pause and question how I react and how I want to react before taking action. That is the most valuable part for me. I would highly recommend this program to both new and seasoned leaders as I have not encountered such a profile more accurate.

*********************************************
Paula was my coach for 3 months as I was launching my new business. I appreciated her coaching process where she was masterful at asking probing questions that allowed me to explore some deeper issues I was struggling with. There were numerous times that I wrote those questions down and continued to explore them long after our discussions. Enjoyed working with Paula and would recommend her.

**********************************************
In my work with Paula, we focused on productivity goals and relationship building with my team. Some key takeaways included that nurturing solid relationships with my team members yields so many benefits beyond the obvious. I was better able to recognize and appreciate them. We worked a good deal on those hard performance conversations. I was able to have those hard performance conversations more comfortably after learning more about what matters most in those times. I'll be using what I learned moving forward to maintain this momentum. Our sessions were super beneficial.

**********************************************
In working with Paula, I learned how I can strengthen my leadership presence by how I speak up in meetings and how I have those "hard" performance conversations. Being more aware of my own emotions helped me decide what is important to communicate when the topic is emotional. I'm more comfortable in both initiating and responding to these conversations. I gained clarity on where I want to take my career-a shift from my goal early on in our work together. I'm now more focused on the day to day and long term.
