What’s really holding your team back?
When you're not quite hitting your shared rhythm, team performance suffers. And it feels impossible.
Collective potential is felt throughout the team, but never fully unlocked. The unspoken trust, habits, and flow that once kept everything ticking get derailed. Burnout always seems to be knocking on the door, and as the team's leader, you carry the weight of these burdens most of all.
Here’s how that shows up:
The team’s trust and rhythm feels off.
Meetings drag, people hold back, and decisions get tangled. Creative energy takes a hit.
Alignment and clarity get fuzzy under pressure.
Priorities shift, roles overlap, and new team members struggle to get up to speed. Everyone’s busy, but no one feels fully in sync.
Meetings feel more frustrating than productive.
Time gets swallowed by unclear agendas, mixed signals, and repeating the same conversations.
Collaboration struggles with clashing working styles.
People mean well but different ways of working cause friction. Communication feels like guesswork.
You’re carrying the momentum yourself.
The harder you push, the more the team waits for direction. You're managing more, but leading less.
And the longer it goes unaddressed, the more it costs: clarity, culture, and your own bandwidth.
I partner with ambitious leaders and teams who recognise that the capacity for joy, authenticity, and extraordinary value creation already exists within them. No single person can achieve what a cohesive, self-aware team can.
My belief is simple: Your collective potential is currently untapped. My job is to help you understand the few things holding you back, and then to discover and activate the many strengths that will propel you forward.
Together, we don't just fix friction, we build a more authentic, effective, and happier team by:
-
Identifying and applying your collective strengths to strategic challenges, decision-making, and daily habits.
-
Building authentic collaboration that leverages diverse working styles rather than struggling against them.
-
Designing rhythms that are energising, focused, and inclusive, ensuring momentum lasts.
-
Deepening clarity and motivation by aligning individual authenticity with your shared purpose, identity and vision.
Let's unlock your team's next level of performance and get you back in your groove.
Hi, I'm Nick Myles-Cook, Facilitator and Certified Team Coach.

Trusted by leaders and teams at:
Different Duck worked with us over a 2-month period to develop our resilience, effectiveness and well-being whilst keeping a focus on our goals as a team. The coaching sessions were very inclusive and engaging. After these sessions, as a team, we have noticed ourselves working more collaboratively and efficiently, and communicating better, particularly during our busiest periods of the month where we have to meet tight deadlines.
