Priya Raghunathan
Teams that are individually excellent and collectively slow
Priya grew an engineering function from nineteen people to a hundred and forty in four years, which is roughly the point at which a leadership team stops being a group of friends and starts being a system that either works or does not.
She leads Wolcott's team-coaching practice: not an offsite with a facilitator, but six months of working with a leadership team on how it actually decides, escalates and disagrees.
She holds the EMCC International Team Coaching Accreditation at Practitioner level, which in the US is still uncommon and in team work is the credential that matters.
Systems-minded and structurally curious. She will map how your team makes decisions before she says a word about trust.

How Priya works
Systems-minded and structurally curious. She will map how your team makes decisions before she says a word about trust.
Typical shape
Six months, twelve sessions, an eight-interview Stakeholder Read and a mid-point review.
Where you would meet
The North Loop rooms, on video, or a mix — about half of Priya’s engagements run entirely remotely.
Before you commit
A free thirty-minute chemistry call, without your sponsor. Use it to disagree with Priya and see what happens.
The rest of the roster
You will meet up to three of them before anything is signed. Chemistry is real, and it is not a euphemism for liking someone.
