What It Really Takes to Coach a Team A recap of our Author Call with Georgina Woudstra — March 17, 2026

Earlier this week, Hudson’s Keith Naber sat down with Georgina Woudstra, founder of the Team Coaching Studio and one of the leading voices in the field, for a wide-ranging conversation on the art and discipline of team coaching. Georgina traced her journey from early missteps (filling sessions with tools and structured agendas) to a hard-won insight: that mastery in team coaching is, above all, a journey into self. Real transformation for teams doesn’t come from better diagnostics or a tighter workshop design, it comes from a coach who can stay present, work with what’s actually in the room, and resist the urge to perform.

The conversation covered how to contract honestly with teams, why a chemistry meeting with the whole team is non-negotiable, and what it looks like to coach a team as a living system rather than a collection of individuals. If you work with teams this one is worth your full attention.
