Coaching for Co-Creation
Team coaching with integrity and care. Work on working well together.
What I do
Workshop Facilitation
I design and facilitate workshops, strategic sessions and retrospectives. I offer teams support in conducting structured, engaging and fulfilling collaborative sessions. I will help you set your goals and we will work together to reach your desired outcomes.
Agile Coaching
As a certified Scrum Master with a background in communication I support Product and Engineering teams in transitioning to an agile framework. I do this by observing your teams and the way they work together. What knowledge is there? What are the open questions? How does your team communicate?
I will guide you in developing an agile mindset and enable you to transform old structures that are no longer serving you to a new work culture that makes sense for you.
Why bring me in?
I help you make a plan.
By creating safe, focused spaces for teams to co-create I help you navigate your collaborations with individual visibility, autonomy and effectiveness and build generative relationships that have a lasting impact on your ways of working.
That helps you relax, learn how to adapt your work and maximize your productivity and effectiveness as a business. without compromising your mental health and sustainability.
About Me
Who I am
I am Stav, a person who cares about people. I set out to utilise my understanding of social communication by asking the question: how can people from different backgrounds find a way to communicate with each other in a productive and helpful way?
I am passionate about many creative paths to problem solving.
I have explored my own creativity in fashion, singing and film and I have studied media science and holistic medicine. These disciplines deepened my understanding of group dynamics and social behaviour.
After working at a fast scaling tech startup I resolved to utilise and develop my skills in empathy, observation and compassion to help teams set and achieve meaningful goals.
My Strengths
Empathy
I am sensitive to my environment and am able to identify with what you are feeling, this helps us to communicate at eye level and find a way for you to bridge different approaches to similar needs.
Individuality
I will be able to help you find your voice within a team and use it to communicate with your fellow team members so every single team member is heard, seen and valued.
Observation
I care about things that are not yet being said as much as what is out in the open. I will ask the questions that need to be asked so we can bring your thoughts and ideas to the surface.
My Values
Respect
We all have our point of view, this means to me, that everybody around me can be right at the same time and no opinion is more or less valid than my own. It is a matter of perspective. This is why I believe in respecting every individual equally and with no pre judgement, everyone is validated in their thoughts and feelings, gaining a diversity of ideas in the team.
Collaboration
A healthy ego is good at helping us be ambitious and master our skills. I aim to balance that individual strength with the strength of shared work. We inspire one another to think about things from new angles and we support each other by teaching what we are good at and learning what we don’t know yet. When we know we can rely on our teammates, we can focus on what we can do well and be more productive.
Transparency
The cornerstone of positive communication and building trust. How can we strengthen our trust in each other if we feel there are things under the surface that are not being said? Being transparent means we use our communication skills to clarify our intentions and explain the reasons behind our decisions. Thereby we show we respect the person in front of us and trusting that we can come to an understanding together.
Testimonials
“With our ambitious goal to achieve a common understanding of our young company’s direction, it was important to have the workshop structure carefully prepared and keep everyone aligned to the goal during the days. Stav Arad was a great help in preparation, moderation and keeping us on track.
She guided us through the process and helped our team unfold their whole creativity and engagement.”
“As founders we were afraid that we could easily silence our two employees in our first workshop together.
Stav Arad made it all feel safe through framing and moderating the workshop in an ordered, friendly and open manner, that allowed everyone to participate. She also provided us with additional insights into the team dynamics she could observe, that were of great additional value.”
