Team Coaching: Overcoming Corporate Contradiction

Daniel Ahlers 

What new opportunities open up when teams choose to embrace—rather than avoid—organisational paradoxes? The challenge of navigating contradiction often runs deeper than it appears on the surface, shaped by cultural, systemic, and interpersonal dimensions that directly influence how teams operate day to day. Drawing on over 15 years of corporate experience (in both senior leadership and founder capacities) and 15 years of coaching executives and leadership teams across diverse industries, I’ve witnessed how “contradiction” can either stagnate growth or spark transformative momentum.

By integrating Integral and Systemic Team Coaching frameworks, we can transform paradoxes into powerful catalysts for shared vision, meaningful action, and sustainable value creation. In this session, I’ll share practical examples, examine real-world case studies, and showcase tools for building resilient, high-value-creating teams amidst constant market, cultural, and technological shifts. Expect fresh insights on navigating complexity, fostering alignment, and engaging stakeholders in a way that remains agile and relevant, delivering not just inspiration, but actionable ideas for leaders, researchers, and practitioners alike in the rapidly evolving domain of Team Coaching.
