Team Development
As experienced facilitators, we know the value of getting a team away from their desks and spending time together in a purposeful way. We work closely with our clients to understand the challenges and opportunities faced in order to design and deliver an engaging, impactful experience that people remember.
We use different tools in our sessions to achieve the agreed outcomes, sometimes psychometrics, sometimes strength based exercises, values tools… it really depends upon the job we’re there to do but high energy, thoughtfulness and purpose is always a priority.
We can design one off days to work together or we can design a programme like the one below which has had fantastic results with our clients.
Team Clarity Development Programme
This full day session will provide team members with the invaluable insights of their preferences through the Clarity 4D psychometric. The team will learn more about their differences and build strategies to communicate better, give great feedback and understand how we all manage stress and pressure differently.
All team members complete the Team DyNAmics psychometric.
In a half-day session, team members will learn more about how effective they are in their work together in 4 key areas
🔴Strategy
🔵Structure
🟡Cooperation
🟢Engagement
Team members work together to understand how they plan steps to improve using their Team DyNAmics report.
In this half day session, team members review success and challenges since the last event. Team members complete the Team DyNAmics psychometric for the last time to reveal their progress and their next steps for action giving both the leader, and the team CLARITY in direction of travel.
I was lucky enough to spend seven sessions with Rebecca who was tasked with creating and delivering a leadership course for a franchise group of cash converters. During the course not only did we all take away knowledge, information and tips on how to develop further, but Rebecca built confidence and really took the time to get to know everyone of us. Highly recommended!

Rebecca has organised our staff into coaching groups. She is very able to understand how we need coaching to work in our school. I can already see the benefits of the training and look forward to having all of my staff following the GROW model of coaching

I enjoyed my coaching with Rebecca so much, it took me on an incredible journey. When I started I was at a low ebb professionally but I wasn’t too sure what the problem was. The coaching helped me to talk everything through and identify things about myself and how I work which I never knew. Rebecca helped me to identify a specific goal which would allow me to develop myself as a leader that I could work on. I was able to achieve this goal for myself and find solutions from within. My confidence grew so much throughout the process and I developed skills in lots of areas which I can draw on in a range of different situations such as communication, time management, organisation and emotional resilience. I can honestly say that coaching has changed the way I think, the way I work and has allowed me to believe in myself and how much I am capable of. I am now inspired to support others on their coaching journey and to enable them to develop as leaders as Rebecca has helped me to do

I have to say I really enjoyed these and I feel they helped me immensely through a difficult time during lockdown, working from home and not being 100% well with having to cope with an increased and very different workload. I enjoyed the live sessions, but the recorded sessions were better for me as I could set aside time when I could give them my full attention. I deliberately chose to watch them when I had a difficult or stressful day and I found just watching them calmed me – I think you both have a lovely calm aura about yourselves. Well done and I hope to see more soon!
Anna, Office manager
Rebecca has been highly instrumental in my development which enabled me to actually stand up and speak publicly which previously i would never have done! I can definitely recommend Rebecca to assist in effective management skills and building confidence in presentations.

We have been working with Rebecca for a number of years to enhance the Leadership skills within our retail senior management team. She has played a key role in developing the team dynamics to a less directional more facilitative & empowered leadership style. Rebecca has helped us break down barriers, take on the challenges which has generated positive energy within the team.
She puts in tremendous effort into every workshop & ensures that it is perfectly tailored to our needs. The team fully trust & respect her knowledge & guidance & we are all extremely grateful for her support.
Sharron Lamb, Retail Director, Peacocks
I have recently attended a leadership programme this was developed by Rebecca to enhance leadership skills & enable cross team working. Rebecca’s ability to engage the participants and encourage them to share their thoughts is fantastic. She creates a safe space for open dialogue, which fosters trust. Rebecca articulates complex ideas in a way that’s easy to understand, making the material accessible to everyone regardless of their experience level. The way Rebecca used interactive activities and real-world examples to illustrate concepts makes the learning experience more relatable and enjoyable. The group exercises were valuable and Rebecca rotated groups so that different people can interact and learn from each other’s perspectives. The sessions I attended have definitely helped me think more strategically about my leadership style and decision-making. I feel more empowered to lead my team with confidence. I would definitely recommend Rebecca.

Wow! I loved the sleep & relax webinar! Is all I am going to say. Just finished watching it, totally what I needed right now and I have already ordered the book. Already trying to do lots of it but excellent advice and good to know I am aiming for the right direction!
Emma, Assistant Headteacher
Rebecca has worked with key members of my team as part of her structured leadership programmes as well as individual coaching. The impact of the programme on individuals has been excellent. They are able to talk more articulately about how they manage change, articulate their vision and how they take people with them on their journey of improvement. The individual coaching has provided a safe space for people to reflect on their work, their relationships at work and to achieve their individual goals.
I would highly recommend Rebecca to any organisation wishing to empower and equip their teams with the tools to navigate change and improvement as well as learn more about themselves and how they lead others.

Coaching with Rebecca this year has had a significant impact on the way I work as a school leader. The outcome has been that I feel calmer in difficult situations, I am more reflective, I view things more objectively and listen more…. all work in progress of course! The benefit of coaching on staff in schools could be huge and part of a strategy that I am very keen to move forward with- thank you Rebecca!

Rebecca has worked with leaders at all levels in our school and the impact has been phenomenal. Using a vast toolbox of coaching strategies, she has developed our leaders’ awareness of themselves and their impact on others. She has also helped them to develop their own coaching style to impact directly on staff and pupils in school. She is truly excellent!

God shined his face on our team building day; the day was warm and bright. Rebecca Wray had the perfect backdrop to deliver and she did. An on-going conversation in the proceeding weeks had ensured that the tone, the activities and most importantly the message had been immaculately planned for. Rebecca and her associate Lisa’s passion for their job was evident as they facilitated the day, making it special for all. Thank you on the behalf of Heathfield Primary School and we look forward to working with you in the future.

Both the management and team sessions we had with Rebecca brought out some extremely useful insights. She’s passionate about leadership and team productivity which really showed throughout the session. The sessions were interactive and kept everyone engaged throughout both sessions. I would recommend Rebecca to anyone in a similar position where fast growth can affect productivity, neither are necessarily negative but these sessions really helped us to learn what our strengths are and how best we can effectively communication with others. The session was tailored to our needs as a team which really showed.

Rebecca delivered an excellent away day for our multi-disciplinary team. The day was well thought out, with a good mix of fun, and theory. Everyone took some learning away and we all felt it was a good use of our time. I would highly recommend Rebecca for her expertise and professionalism – we can’t wait to have her back! Rebecca is brilliant; enthusiastic / keen / motivated / focussed on individuals’ and team aims. Sessions made very enjoyable and fun yet focussed on work aims. I think all places of work should do these sessions!
Suzanne McDonald, Health Partnership Manager, Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust
“Incredibly inspired” that’s the way I felt after spending a day focusing on strategic thinking with Rebecca! It’s sometimes easy to overstate the impact of learning and development sessions however, I found Rebecca’s style of coaching constructively challenging, thought provoking, and deeply inspiring. The background research and investment by Rebecca to gain an understanding that would fundamentally support the delivery of training was fantastic helping to translate theory into practice with ease through a grounding of industry-specific insight. Rebecca’s naturally supportive nature helped to create a safe space where ideas and creativity could flow openly. I would highly recommend Rebecca Wray Coaching Consultancy if you want to drive impact for your business. Thank you Rebecca!
