Focus: Skillful Preparation of 

Professional Team Coaches 

​

Have you developed strong one-on-one coaching skills and feel ready to take on the challenge and complexity of coaching a team?

​

Could your organization benefit from enhanced team performance?

​

Are you wanting to expand your coaching skills to meet the needs of the fast-growing team coaching market?

​

Effective, productive and satisfying teamwork is essential for organizations to successfully navigate the complex issues they face. Teams — whether leadership, functional, multi-disciplinary, operation, agile, or project teams — must operate at higher levels of performance than ever before.

 

As coaches, we have a unique opportunity to partner with the team and employ specialized knowledge and skills to:

​

• accurately assess how the team can improve while understanding the impact of the team’s context,

• know when, where and how to intervene both in the team’s presence and in its relationship with the larger organization system,

• strengthen the team’s working relationships, while managing multiple stakeholders and their expectations, and

• cultivate the key elements that enable teams to operate at their peak: trust, candid dialogue, and conflict resolution.

​

The work of a skilled team coach rooted in a sound approach with an adaptive coaching presence can offer the systemic, relational coaching that enables the team to be highly functioning and cohesive. 

​
