Twenty2 Collective

Want team coaching in Perth that actually shifts the dial? At Twenty2 Collective, we help teams across Perth move beyond stuck and into high performance. Whether your people are disengaged, misaligned or simply working hard without working smart, our team coaching approach brings something most teams are quietly desperate for: clarity about what they are actually trying to do together, and the willingness to say out loud what is getting in the way. We have seen firsthand how the right facilitation and the right frameworks can turn a group of individuals into a genuinely collaborative, high performing team. That said, "the right facilitation" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence, because getting there is rarely as smooth as it sounds.
What We Do
We coach teams, not individuals in isolation. Our team coaching engagements in Perth focus on helping your people align on goals, name the uncomfortable stuff that is actually holding them back, and commit to meaningful improvements together. That middle part is where most of the real work happens, frankly. We draw on agile principles, collaborative facilitation and practical tools tested across industries from tech to health to property. Think working agreements that actually get used. Sailboat retrospectives that surface real insights. Roadmaps built around outcomes rather than wishful thinking on a Gantt chart.
Our work is hands on and adaptive. We do not deliver a slide deck and walk away. What we actually do is messier and, I think, more useful: we sit with your team in the day to day, facilitate the conversations people have been avoiding, and help build habits that stick after we leave. Whether that takes weeks or months depends on how deep the issues run. If you have read about our approach to continuous improvement or team alignment, you will know we care about making this practical, not theoretical.
Who It's For
Our Perth team coaching is designed for leaders, managers and teams dealing with real challenges. You might recognise yourself in one of these situations:
Senior leaders who sense their teams are busy but not aligned on what actually matters
People and culture managers who want to lift engagement and retention without another off the shelf program
Agile teams that have adopted the ceremonies but lost sight of the purpose behind them
Cross functional project teams trying to deliver complex work under pressure and needing a better way to collaborate
Newly formed teams who need to build trust and ways of working quickly
If your team is in Perth and you are feeling the tension between high expectations and low clarity, this is for you.
Our Approach
We do not believe in one size fits all. Every team coaching engagement starts with understanding where you are and where you want to be. From there we tailor our methods, pulling from a toolkit built over years of coaching teams in Perth and across Australia.
Align on What Matters
We start by helping your team get clarity on goals. If you do not know where you are going, no framework will save you. We use collaborative visioning techniques to build genuine alignment, which, to be blunt about it, means people in the room actually saying what they think rather than nodding along to whatever the most senior person said first. We have sat through too many "alignment sessions" that were really just a leader presenting their plan and asking if anyone had questions. That is not alignment. That is compliance with a nicer name. When a team does the harder work of genuinely agreeing on direction, the shift is real, though it does not always feel tidy or complete. Sometimes you leave with 80% alignment and a few honest disagreements parked for later. That is fine. That is actually progress.
Surface the Real Challenges
With facilitation methods like the sailboat retrospective, we help teams identify what is propelling them forward and what is anchoring them down. We favour silent reflection techniques so every voice is heard, not just the loudest in the room. What comes out of these sessions can be confronting. Sometimes someone raises the thing everyone has been dancing around for months, and the room goes very quiet. We will not pretend that always resolves neatly in the moment. Sometimes it opens up a conversation that takes weeks to work through. But the alternative, leaving it buried, is worse.
Build Sustainable Habits
Here is something we have wrestled with honestly: you cannot workshop your way to a high performing team. Not really. A single session can crack something open, yes. But the actual change lives in what happens on a Tuesday morning when nobody is watching. We help teams establish and review working agreements, improve their communication rhythms and build in regular reflection. As the Harvard Business Review notes, the best teams continuously revisit how they work together, not just what they work on. The hard part is that daily habits are boring. They do not feel like breakthroughs. They feel like showing up again.
Measure Progress Through Outcomes
We coach teams to think in outcomes, not outputs. Aligned with the principles in the Agile Manifesto, we focus on delivering value iteratively and adapting as we learn. What this looks like in practice: your stakeholders get visibility into what is actually happening, not just a status report full of green lights. Your team gets the focus that comes from knowing which outcomes they are accountable for. And the bigger picture, the one that usually lives only in the CEO's head or on a strategy slide nobody revisits, starts to become something the whole team can see and orient around.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is team coaching different from team training?
Team training delivers knowledge. Team coaching helps your people apply that knowledge in their real context. Our Perth team coaching engagements are embedded in your day to day work. We help the team build new habits, improve collaboration and solve actual problems together rather than working through hypothetical case studies.
How long does a team coaching engagement typically take?
It depends on where your team is starting from and what you are trying to achieve. We have seen meaningful shifts happen in a single focused session, though if we are being honest, those are usually teams that were already close to a breakthrough and just needed someone to hold the space. Most engagements run over several weeks to embed lasting change. Some teams need longer. We always start with a conversation to understand your situation before recommending a timeline, and we would rather be upfront about that than promise something unrealistic.
Do we need to be using agile to benefit from team coaching?
Not at all. While we draw on agile principles like iterative improvement, cross functional collaboration and adaptive planning, our coaching works for any team that wants to work better together. Agile is not the goal. It is one vehicle among several, and honestly, for some teams it is not even the right vehicle. What matters is finding the practices that fit how your team actually works, not adopting a framework for its own sake.
Can team coaching help with remote or hybrid teams in Perth?
Yes. Several of the Perth teams we work with operate in hybrid environments. We help teams revisit their working agreements to reflect how and where they work now, so connection and productivity hold up regardless of location. The tools and techniques we use work in person, remotely or in a blended model.
What results can we expect from team coaching?
This is the question we get asked most, and the honest answer is: it depends. Teams we have coached report greater alignment and improved communication, and in several cases delivery timelines shortened noticeably. One team we worked with in Perth had been stuck in a cycle of missed deadlines and finger pointing for months. Within a few weeks of coaching, they were not perfect, but they had stopped blaming each other and started actually solving problems together. That felt like a bigger win than any velocity metric. But we have also worked with teams where progress was slower, usually because the underlying issues ran deeper than anyone initially let on, or because the commitment to change was not evenly shared. The biggest factor, in our experience, is whether the team is genuinely willing to be honest with each other and follow through when it gets uncomfortable. Not everyone is. That is worth knowing going in.
