Description
Like one on one coaching, Team Coaching is a process for building increased awareness, learning and performance in intact teams. Team Coaching is more closely aligned to sports coaching than individual coaching. In Team Coaching, the coach is on the sidelines while the team is “on the field” and offering questions or observations to support the team to “play” better together, as a whole.
The benefits of this for a team that needs to lift its performance is that they are learning on the job. The Team Coach is listening to how the team works together, and intervenes when the team is displaying a habitual practice or process that isn’t serving their goal. This process is disruptive by nature, and results in the team becoming more self-aware, better able to self-manage, and able to collaborate in the room to deliver on their organisational imperatives. Over six to eight Team Coaching sessions, the team begins to embed this learning, and create sustainable and permanent change.
The IECL Organisational Team Coaching Level 1 Certification course teaches you the essential foundational skills of organisational team coaching including the tools, techniques and understanding of how to conduct high performance team coaching sessions that get results. This course builds functional capability for coaching teams, and is the starting point for organisational coaches who are already working skilfully with individuals and groups. Once completed, you be an IECL certified organisational team coach.
Organisational Team Coaching helps intact teams to harness the collective potential of each of the individuals in the team, to deliver results that no one team member could deliver as an individual. Unlike individual coaching, Team Coaching occurs ‘on the job’. This course will teach you the skills required to work with teams in-situ, and highlight patterns, practices and processes that are hindering the team reaching its full potential.
