“A valuable process that helped the team reflect and build a foundation for new ways of working. It surfaced issues we might otherwise have overlooked and created the space to pause and examine our assumptions rather than simply moving forward.”

About the trainers

John Hill has been working as an executive coach, team coach and leadership development specialist for 17 years. He is a former director at the Academy of Executive Coaching (AoEC) helping to influence the developmental profession through one of the key global contributors to coach training. John is accredited by the Association for Coaching (AC) as an executive coach with over 2000 hours of professional practice, as a Master Practitioner Systemic Team Coach, having worked with many teams in diverse sectors and different countries. He is also accredited as a Coach Supervisor with the Coaching Supervision Academy.

Lindsay Uittenbogaard (Founder Mirror Mirror) began her career running small businesses before spending 15 years in communication leadership roles with multinational organisations in the energy, IT, and telecommunications industries.

It was the stark contrast between working in small businesses and multinational organizations that inspired an insatiable curiosity around how people align and the profound implication of that on business performance.  In response, Lindsay founded Mirror Mirror, collaborating with the Technical University of Delft and the Rotterdam School of Management to develop the coordination methodology.

An IABC Accredited Business Communicator, Lindsay has post-graduate diplomas in International Business Communication Management. She is also a regular writer and speaker on coordination, misalignment as delivery risk, and the structured practice that addresses it.

The alignment practice works with common ground and differences between people as a group.  ‘Who thinks what’ is less relevant.
