The intensity of the team coaching session means that this is something for which the team members should fully prepare. We call the session the Rondo Arena because it gives the sense of a team having to fully defend their position regarding their topic under scrutiny.

The coaches will bring with them compassion, understanding, empathy and care; they simply require participants to have fully prepared for the process and be willing to explore critical factors that will add to personal and team performance improvement. This is a relationship that centres on coaching elevation and professional respect.
