The Team Problem Nobody's Coaching For And How Talent Leaders Build for It

Performance doesn’t break down inside people. It breaks down between them. New research shows employees are far more focused on learning to work better with the people around them than on resolving conflict. Join us to hear how Kameko Leung, Leadership Development Lead at Pinterest and Yulia Denisova, Vice President of Talent and Development at Fanatics approach this challenge.

WHAT WE FOUND

We analyzed nearly 30,000 real coaching conversations, and the pattern was clear: nearly 50% named a specific colleague, not a skill or a strategy to work on alone.

Conflict isn’t what people come looking for help with first. Employees ask how to understand and align with a colleague 2.5x more often than they ask how to resolve a conflict with someone.

They’re not waiting for something to break. They’re trying to work better with the people already in front of them, before the friction starts. And when a hard conversation does happen, struggle to recommend an actual resolution, scoring just 2.6 on a scale of 5, is the lowest skill measured.

Kameko Leung, Leadership Development Lead at Pinterest and Yulia Denisova, Vice President of Talent and Development at Fanatics will share their take on how to empower teams to improve collaboration.

In this session, you'll:

See what employees are actually asking for.

A first look at what nearly 30,000 real coaching conversations reveal about the coaching people want, and how often it’s about a specific colleague, not a skill.

Where composure holds up and where hard conversations lose momentum, and what that means for how you coach your teams.

Hear how leading talent leaders are solving it.

A firsthand look at building relational coaching into how teams actually work.
