Our expert team coaches work with teams of all shapes and sizes, to help maintain a culture of high-performing, healthy and collaborative behaviours.
Team coaching isn’t just limited to the sports field. Workplace teams, of any shapes and size can benefit from coaching, to see better commitment to collaborative working styles and build an action plan for maintaining a high performing culture.
An effective coaching programme can enable the whole team to collectively reimagine their sense of purpose, desirable behaviours, or barriers to overcome. Our approach focuses on transforming the whole team, for the better, not just one single component.
Systemic team coaching
During a systemic team coaching programme, our expert team coach works with a whole team, both when they are together, but also when they are working apart. In this way, not only do we help to improve their collective performance/ collaboration, but also their collective leadership.
As part of the process, individual or smaller ‘breakaway’ groups spend time together, to help improve their self-awareness and also their collective need for collaboration and connected leadership. This helps to build awareness for the individuals in terms of the role they play when representing the team in their own areas of the organisation or engaging with key stakeholders.
How we work to support your teams
A typical team coaching programme will take place over a period of 6-12 months, with a series of structured sessions. Team coaching can also run over a shorter time frame and still be an impactful intervention. More intensive programmes can be an especially useful tool when working through periods of fast growth or rapid change.
Our coaches work with individual team members, to focus on specific goals and collaboration techniques. When bringing the whole team together, our coaches engage the full team in dialogue and help them to collectively reimagine their sense of purpose, desirable behaviours, or barriers to overcome.
Your team coaching journey
STEP ONE: ASSIGNMENT
Based on the unique team and their needs, we’ll assign our most suitably qualified and experienced team coach, based on their specialisms and sector experience.
STEP TWO: PLANNING
Your assigned team coach will work on an individual and team basis to identify core goals. A detailed plan around such goals will be drawn up and used throughout the programme.
STEP THREE: THE MEETINGS
Each team coaching session typically lasts for 2 hours, and there will also be a series of smaller, breakaway coaching sessions with individuals which reflect themes, reflections and actions coming from the team sessions. Our dedicated coach will work with you from the outset to plan the best structure, number of sessions and desired duration.
STEP FOUR: ASSESSMENT
Team progress is assessed during each session. Although confidential, overall progress may be shared with a relevant manager, if permission is given. A thematic report can be produced at the end of the programme and shared with the team members and coaching sponsor, documenting actions for the future and key milestones to support the team moving forward.
STEP FIVE: EVALUATION
It may also be helpful to have conversations, with relevant colleagues before, during, and after the team coaching programme to evaluate the success of the programme and need for further development.
