Live-Action Coaching: From Off the Pitch to On the Pitch

Download our FREE e-book Beyond the Blueprint: A Guide to Emergent Team Coaching

In this episode, Georgina and Allard explore live-action coaching and take us behind the scenes of a real-time coaching session with the leadership team at Acme Inc. Unlike traditional coaching away from the workplace, live-action coaching happens where the team actually works, creating an opportunity to see whether learning is transferring into everyday behaviour.

As they debrief the session, changing dynamics quickly emerge, including the unexpected absence of the CEO from a critical meeting. Georgina and Allard explore how coaches use their presence, interventions, and carefully designed experiments to help the team practise greater honesty, assertiveness, and awareness in the moment.

You'll discover:

• What live-action coaching is and how it differs from traditional team coaching.
• How learning can transfer from “off the pitch” to “on the pitch”.
• Why real workplace situations can reveal dynamics that don't emerge in formal sessions.
• How power, presence, and the coach's use of self-influence what happens in the room.
• How experiments, contracting, and feedback can support behavioural change in real time.

Today’s episode is a reminder that in emergent team coaching, you can plan the intervention—but you can't always predict what the team will give you back to work with.
